Gameplay
Instant
Choose a creature or planeswalker you control. All damage that would be dealt this turn to you and permanents you control is dealt to the chosen permanent instead (if it's still on the battlefield).
To Liliana's surprise, the cost of betraying Bolas did not fall on her.

wotc
More damage can be redirected to the chosen creature than it has toughness or to the chosen planeswalker than it has loyalty, as long as that damage is all dealt at once (like combat damage is) or is all dealt while a single spell or ability is resolving.
wotc
If the chosen creature or planeswalker isn't on the battlefield or isn't a creature or planeswalker at the time damage would be dealt, the damage won't be redirected.
