This card has quite a bit of potential. Like many have already said, it eats lightning bolts, pings, threatening abilities and annoying spot removal. But this card will really shine when people start to analyze its fun and long-term tactical applications. Indestructibility is an obvious choice, and shroud might have the ability of creating an illegal target for everything you don't agree with (I have no clue if this is a viable option). Slap a Leyline of Anticipation on the field at the beginning of the game and you have a turn-two creature-redirect, great for grabbing those pesky enemy auras you really want!
The art is very powerful. Just from the amazing imagery, I can imagine an equally powerful sound emanating from the horror; something similar to the HYPNOTOAD (Futurama reference) or a Slave I Sonic Mine Explosion (Star Wars reference). The vivid light creates a wonderfully dynamic composition and a sinister silhouette. Chippy has creat... (see all)

Very good card. It's good in Spinter Exarch and Kiln fiend combo for protecting their bomb. It also hoses those two decks, infect-pump and shape anew/polymorph.
That's before you factor in combos with Livewire Lash or darksteel plate.

I wish this had defender so it could interact better with Overgrown Battlement. Great card to protect your combo though. Doesn't stop Go for the Throat sadly. Also it's kind of ironic how this thing stops the Twin Exarch combo, but will likely be used by it.

This card will see constructed play , even mainboard. Its stops splinter twin combo , infect pump, nearly all burn and is a wall. and it will do all this for free while being a wall. My faverite card of the set.

Ok so just to clarify and with no run-around/in complete lamans terms, because this card is so awfully vague... this is what this card can do.
1) it CAN take any instant or sorcery that would normally target a creature as long as it's legal to normally target the spellskite in the first place. (i.e. go for the throat can not target artifacts so you can NOT change the target from your grand architect to your spellskite)
2) You may also redirect if the spell/ability says target permanent, as permanent is also a very broad term.
3) it CAN take a legal rebounded spell as it is technically cast again and goes on the stack, so you can take those distortion strikes and staggershocks as they rebound from exile.
4) things it can NOT alter or change are listed as follows: Counterspells, Target players spells/abilities, global spells/abilities, draw card spells/abilities, target graveyard spells/abilities, target non-artifact spells/abilities, target land things, target enchantment things, tar... (see all)

Forget Melira, this card completely ruins the infect + pump strategy.

This card, Phyrexian Metamorph and Dismember are probably the three strongest contenders for best card in this set. The prevalence of this card will really see to hold a lot of other decks in check - particularly great is getting out TWO of these guys - because the odds that someone will be able to remove both of them in order to get something off on them is very slim - unless they're using a board wipe. And, honestly, forcing your opponent to use a board wipe on creatures that aren't actually threatening them is very strong itself - and is more or less the point of Spellskite anyways.
