Soul Conduit and target change
Asked by MetalMeister 13 years ago
Hi, I've got another question regarding a new card my friend bought.
If he uses the ability of Soul Conduit to change the life between me and him, but I change myself with my spellkite thanks to his ability, what would happen?
Would he get 0 life as a creature doesn't have life or would nothing happen?
Strategic play: activate Spellskite 's ability enough times by paying life to leave your opponent with 1 or 2 life (unless, of course, he can burn you in response).

You can only redirect spells or abilities to Spellskite that may legally target Spellskite . From the MTG Gatherer on Spellskite :
6/1/2011 - You can activate Spellskite's ability even if Spellskite wouldn't be a legal target for the spell or ability. However, the target of that spell or ability will remain unchanged.
You can pay the life or mana and activate the ability, but since Spellskite is not a legal target, the target of Soul Conduit 's ability will not be changed.
