2020-04-17

If you choose new targets for the target spell, the new targets must be legal.
2020-04-17

If the target spell has a variable number of targets, you can’t change how many targets it has.
2020-04-17

If the target spell has damage divided as it was cast (like Mythos of Vadrok), the division can’t be changed although the targets receiving that damage still can. The same is true of spells that distribute counters.
2020-04-17

Once you begin casting this spell, players can’t take any other actions until you’re done casting it. Notably, they can’t try to remove the commander you control to make you pay its cost.

It doesn’t matter whose commander you control. Any one will do. If you have two commanders, you just need to control one of them.

Deflecting Swat is a highly versatile instant spell that has captured the Magic: The Gathering community’s attention due to its game-changing potential. It offers players the ability to choose new targets for target spells or abilities, granting them a significant advantage in various situations. Whether used defensively to safeguard crucial permanents or offensively to disrupt opponents’ strategies, Deflecting Swat opens up a wide range of tactical possibilities.

Why Order From Proxy King?

We are the original Proxy King. There are a number of other sellers that have cropped up to imitate us (proxyqueen, pkmtg, etc), but these sellers make low quality proxies that they ship from China. At Proxy King our quality is the best on the market, and we are based in Texas, so our fulfillment, and shipping times are fast.
