Question about Sphere of Safety
Asked by OneWinged 7 years ago
In a Two-Headed Giant game where my teammate controls a Sphere of Safety, can my opponents attack me instead to avoid paying the triggered ability?
Thanks in advance!

No, they can't attack you without paying the cost.
Official ruling from Gatherer: "In a Two-Headed Giant game, if one player controls Sphere of Safety, creatures cant attack that players team or a planeswalker that player controls unless their controller pays X for each of those creatures he or she controls. Creatures can attack planeswalkers controlled by that players teammate without having to pay this cost."

Relevant rules quote:
810.7c. As the declare attackers step begins, the active team declares attackers. If an effect of an object controlled by a defending player prohibits a creature from attacking him or her, that creature cant attack the defending team. The active team has one combined attack, and that set of attacking creatures must be legal as a whole. See rule 508.1.

Yes. I usually like to give a more in depth answer but this one is pretty simple.
