Gameplay

Instant

The next time a source of your choice would deal damage to you this turn, prevent that damage. If damage is prevented this way, Deflecting Palm deals that much damage to that source's controller.

"Any student of history has the power to learn from the past. The great ones use it to their advantage." —Plargg, Lorehold dean
