Have your Phytohydra deal its damage to itself!

My brother played this, and I cast Vines of Vastwood to prevent my creature from being affected. He says that won't work because this isn't a spell or ability, "his creature just hits mine". I say it is a spell that targets my creature for his creature to do damage to. Who is right?

@PurpGuy: You're right. This spell needs 2 valid targets to even have an effect, and if one of those is shrouded in response to this, this just fizzles. And if he thinks this isn't a spell, he needs to take a good, hard look at the comprehensive rules.

@JFM2796: It means that your creature must be on the battlefield as the spell resolves. Meaning if they remove your creature in response to this spell, it fizzles. Normally removing the creature wouldn't stop this spell. That's why that seemingly redundant clause is in there.

I'm not the first one here to think, "Fling my infect? Yes Please."

@Ashamed, DutchSanta: Flaw? I don't see a flaw. Baneslayer Angel doesn't have any properties that Baneslayer Angel has protection from. It's perfectly capable of dealing damage to itself via Soul's Fire. You'll even gain five life.
@PastProphet: Cunning Sparkmage has no power. Try again.
@Doom_Lich: Yes, Nova Chaser's Champion an Elemental ability is triggered, so it sits on the stack waiting to resolve, and you can cast Soul's Fire then.

Does this work with Vraska's ultimate? I think something's going in my jund deck.

How nicely does this fit the Flamekin and to a lesser extent the Cinders from Lorwyn-Shadowmoor? Seriously though, Nova Chaser makes this an absolutely brutal burn spell. A pity Fire Servant doesn't modify the damage since it's dealt by a creature, not the spell itself. Gratuitous Violence is happy to help, though.

@Everyone who says fling is better:
Soul's fire makes the CREATURE deal damage. It works with Lifelink, Deathtouch, Infect etc. so I don't mind the extra {1}. (Plus you are more free to use it at any time since the creature is not sacrificed.)
I will use it with Bushi Tenderfoot in my R/W Battle Cry deck.
