Cool art, but it needs to hit creatures to be relevant.

Yeah, I know that's a thing, but you don't see me just walking into the Pearl Lake Ancient thread, saying "Pearl Lake Ancient" and leaving.

What I'm really trying to say is that this is the worst Magic card ever made.

My first thought as well when I saw the card.

Stupid question: If you use it to prevent damage from one of your sources, what happens? :confused:

The source of the damage changes. That's about it.

aren't you stuck in some weird loop of prevent damage, then deals damage, prevent that damage then deals damage, etc... ?

No, when your damage prevention shield prevents the first instance of damage, it is redirected, then the shield is removed. Further damage will go through as usual.

Unless something else is involved, like a Phage-style effect, you probably just wasted [mana]RW[/mana]

Good guy anti-sarnath tech:

No, the damage prevention part of the spells, prevents the original damage, then it deals a whole new damage to you, then it stops resolving.

And it did it again!:

What ham said, I just
love sounding like a rule book.

If you would be dealt damage this turn, prevent that damage. If damage is prevented this way, Talk to the Hand deals that much damage to the source's controller.


This breaks the game. Talk to the Palm doesn't because it becomes the new source (and only prevents damage from one source specifically).

Anyway, guys, thanks for clearing that up, ham, GR and Stardust, that makes sense

Actually, I don't hate that card. Would love to play it right now, when a huge Desecration Demon/Polukranos is about to get my opponent ahead in the damage race against Burn. But unfortunately, that won't be a thing in a month.

If my opponent has 3 life and plays Siege Rhino, and in response to it's EBT trigger I cast Deflecting Palm, do I win or does my opponent remain at 3 life?

I believe the rhino doesn't "deal damage" they lose life, so the point is mute.

But they'd stay at 3 life since the helix effect is all simultaneous.
