New Redemption Grab Bag now includes an assortment of 500 cards from five (5) different expansion sets. Available at Cactus website.
It says redirect it to a hero though, so the rule of redirect the text doesn't apply?
A redirect special ability lets a player play an opponent’s card as if it were his, reapplying the special ability on the redirected card as he chooses. When specified, the redirected card abilities (*/*) are applied to the character on which the redirect card was originally played. The abilities and special ability on the redirected card and the character on which the redirect card is played do not change. Only the card’s player and targets change.
I have always played that you can redirect an ability to target the corresponding character, meaning if a hero was killing an ec before, the ec can be killing the hero now.
It would be awesome if Redirects actually reversed the effect back at the opponent... like the word redirect implies.
I agree, as was the original intent (based on the wording of the original cards from Womens). However, since Redirect has been redefined, we need to stay consistent. I think Treachery should be errated like Counsel since their wording is nearly identical (like Gabe said earlier).
I'm surprised it never was. I really thought it had been.
What was it that inspired the change in how Redirects work? except for banding, I cant think of any cards that would cause a major conflict with reversing "hero" and "evil character."
