Congratulations. You've just used Cruel Ultimatum on yourself.
Edit: My dreams are ruined!

Shouldn't be rare, but the novelty of Canceling your Opponents Cancel with your Opponents Cancel never really gets old. It also makes Burn Decks its ***.

Good in casual since players actively seek out to screw their friends over with the likes of Target Player, etc.
In competitive though, I'd rather find myself with a mana leak, deprive etc. then this garbage. Afterall, while rediect might affect 10-20% of spells that target and perhaps amongst those 50% that you can actually find a legal target to redirect, a counterspell deals with the entire spectrum of spells. I certainly don't want to let a Primeval Titan resolve for the chance to redirect their lightning bolt to their tech creature.
if you really want redirection, look at Spellskite.
When compared to other cards of its class, Reverberate and Twincast are much better. Even if the spell does not target, you can copy it and use its effect for yourself, while with this, if you cannot find legal targets or it does not target, then it fizzles.

When a creature attacks, you have to target a player to attack right? So in multiplayer could you change the target of a creature attacking to a different player?

Got a question about using this with Geth's Verdict. Obvious: can I choose what they sacrifice or is not considered targeted?

Deflection is back and it doesn't suck anymore YAY! :D
Wonderful card, so many fun potentialities. I think it will end up best used to protect your creatures from the large amount of spot removal out there (here's looking at you Oblivion Ring). This is the very essecnce of blue.

@CaptainNinJoe...
Although changing the target of Haunting Echoes to make a player target him/herself sounds hilarious, realistically since it is a search requirement, the player does not have to find the cards (similar to how if you were silly enough to cast Rampant Growth without having any basic lands in your library, you would simply search, find nothing then shuffle your library).
That being said, card & flavour text are both still awesome, and the fact that it can be used to counter a Counterspell is awesome! (In response to their counterspell, change the target of the counterspell to Redirect, since Redirect resolves first the Counterspell will fizzle since it has no legal targets)
Other hilarious situations are causing an opponent to Lightning Bolt their own creature, or cast a Mind Rot targetting themselves for a 1-for-3!
