Deflecting Palm Targeting Risk Factor
Asked by Tyrannosary 1 year ago
If an opponent casts Risk Factor and I respond by casting Deflecting Palm preventing the next source of damage Risk Factor would deal to me...
Would they get to draw the 3 cards if I chose to take the damage?

The opponent won't draw the 3 cards.
You cast Deflecting Palm naming Risk Factor as the source. Then when Risk Factor resolves, you choose for it to deal you 4 damage. Deflecting Palm redirects that damage to the controller of Risk Factor (your opponent).
Net result, your opponent draws no cards, and takes 4 damage from their own Risk Factor.
