Intervention Pact

Asked by BadumPsh 13 years ago

Does Intervention Pact target the source of the damage that it prevents? It doesn't mention the word "target", but I need to pick a source to prevent. What's the ruling on this?

Thanks!

An effect does not target unless it specifically uses the word "target." Since Intervention Pact does not contain the word "target," it doesn't actually target the source of the damage you're preventing.

Which means it isn't affected by cards like Turn Aside, If it's a permanent that is the source of the damage that is.
