Redirect vs Hexproof
Asked by UmbrotheUmbreon 12 years ago
If a creature has hexproof, and your opponent casts a Lightning Bolt targeting your creature, can you Redirect it to the hexproof creature?
Opponent controls Sacred Wolf . Opponent casts Lightning Bolt targeting a creature I control. Can I cast Redirect and change the target to Sacred Wolf ?
I think so cause I am not targeting the wolf with a spell or ability, I just basically told my opponent he has to target his own creature instead of mine. Am I right?

If the player controlling the hexproof creature is the same one who controls the spell being Redirect ed, yes. His creature is a legal target for his spell, so that's a legal choice for a new target. Redirect only targets the spell you're messing with.

Best case situation:
Opponent controls like a bajillion hexproof creatures with 1 toughness and you are at 1 life.
Opponent miracles a Bonfire of the Damned for one.
Opponent now has a sadface.

Yes, you are right. They control the spell, that's why it can be redirected.
