Mirrorwood Treefolk and commander damage

Asked by Lordaether 8 years ago

Okay say a commander(any will do, e.g. Kamahl, Pit Fighter ) attacked or through other means dealt damage to Mirrorwood Treefolk and through Mirrorwood Treefolk 's second ability the damage was redirected to another player, would that damage count as commander damage? Likewise could a player be killed through commander damage from there own commander?

Only combat damage dealt to a player can be Commander damage.

If a Commander attacked, and was blocked by Mirrorwood Treefolk and its controller activated that ability to redirect the damage to a player, that would be combat damage and be Commander damage.

In the case of things like Kamahl, Pit Fighter's activated ability, that is not combat damage and wouldn't be Commander damage no matter where it was redirected.
