Why hello there Mr. Spellskite. Have you met my good friend Livewire Lash? No? I think you will like him very much. He also brought his good friend Batterskull. Oh, and this is his cousin Grafted Exoskeleton, we just don't talk about him too much.

@FelixCarter You can't change the target to an illegal target. That happens to any redirect spell.

This and Phyrexian Metamorph can be used as jace protection(liquimetal coating with metamorph). But it will be very annying to come across a deck using hex parasite, this, jtms, and batterskull.

Why is it better than Flagbearer? Simple. The ability is optional.

Yeah, that was disheartening for sure about the whole equipment thing. That kinda made me see this as wasted potential which is absurd because by itself it's a control card for any color and has pretty good defense for a 2 drop. It still is a solid card though and it is better planes walker hate than that hex parasite in my opinion. It will see play with Phyrexian Revoker, riddlesmith, and bonehoard in my newer artifact deck.

@HairlessThoctar Yeah, I know what you mean about that. Basically though it allows you to play targeted removal counterspells and forces the opponent to deal with this before a threat so its good for that ability alone but the added defense of 4 makes it a higher priority good. In summary it's a great stall card that doubles as protection for your win conditions. Not obviously overpowered or broken like jace, the mindsculptor, batterskull/autocard... (see all)

So if I have a Livewire Lash equiped, and play a giant growth, can I trigger him multiple times to trigger the lash over and over?

@Vakyoom: You missed one. Spellskite CAN also redirect to itself any spell or ability that targets an artifact as long as it's legal to normally target the Spellskite in the first place (ie; it can NOT redirect a spell or ability that says "target non-creature artifact").

Had something come up while play testing at home. How does this interact with Precursor Golem and its tokens being targeted with Distortion Strike? Does it eat the original spell or does it have to be activated 3 times?

All I can think of is making it a 5/5 with Tezzeret. xD

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.

Hate targeted artifact destruction? Pair this with Asceticism.

I don't suppose I could use it to redirect a counterspell, forcing the spell to fizzle without a legal target?

I want to play this while my opponent has a Tezz 2.0.

And I want my opponent to forget it's on the field when he uses Tezz's -1.
