Does Boros Reckoner take damage and redirect or just redirect?
Asked by dmullvain 11 years ago
I have been playing where Boros reckoner takes the damage and then redirects it, I was wondering if that is right

The answer to your question is in the wording of the ability. "Whenever Boros Reckoner is dealt damage" means that the ability only triggers if Boros Reckoner is dealt damage. As BorosPlayer says, this means the ability is not a redirection effect. Redirection effects have to actually redirect something, which means they are replacement effects. Boros Reckoner 's ability is a triggered ability.

That is right, though it is not technically redirected since Boros Reckoner takes damage.
