Deflecting Palm vs Hindering Light
Asked by Forcystus 9 years ago
My friend has a red white commander deck and one of his favorite cards in it is Deflecting Palm. If I attack with a creature and he uses Deflecting Palm in response, can I counter it with Hindering Light?

Unfortunately not. Deflecting Palm does not actually target anything, so Hindering Light cannot target it.

No. A spell or ability only targets something if it uses the word "target." Deflecting Palm involves a choice and affects an object's controller, but it doesn't target anything. Hindering Light can't target Deflecting Palm.
