Can you deal damage to Planeswalkers with burn spells that target players?
Asked by Homura_Akemi 7 years ago
Can you redirect the damage on burn spells from players to Planeswalkers? Example: Lightning Bolt dealing 3 damage to Sorin, Grim Nemesis
It's also worth noting that if you choose to redirect the damage, you must redirect all of the damage that would've gone to the player. For example, if your opponent has a Sorin, Lord of Innistrad at 1 loyalty, you can't cast Lightning Bolt targeting your opponent and redirect only 1 of the damage to Sorin. It's either all 3 or none.

Also worth noting that you don't have to announce if you're going to redirect the damage or not until the resolution of the spell/ability dealing the damage. Your opponent will have to respond without that knowledge and if asked, you're not obliged to tell them if you are or not.
