Can I do this with Spellskite
Asked by luisserpa 7 years ago
Hello, thank you in advance for reading this. I never played with against a Spellskite and I have a question about it.
Let's say that I have one in the table, and I try to play a Tarmogoyf. My opponent tries to counter it with a Counterspell, can I change the target of that counter to the Spellskite?
Also, if I have one in the table, and my opponent uses Thoughtseize, can I redirect that to Spellskite?
Sorry for the trouble and thank you in advance.
Cheers

No, the Spellskite must be a legal target for the spell or ability you're trying to redirect; the 'Skite isn't a spell so you can't redirect the Counterspell and it isn't a player so you can't redirect Thoughtseize. You can still target the Counterspell or Thoughtseize with Spellskite's ability but it just won't do anything.
