@irtureVsVice, you could send 2 from NC to the oracle, and it would be 2 for 2, (vanguard and harm's way for the 2 elfs)
but yeah, ouch, white turbo fogs may have a good match up with burns only thanks to this and safe passage and shieldmate's blessing

Fantastic card. Just what we needed when Lightning bolt got reprinted.

does the redirected damage still have the properties of the source?
would the damage still have wither/deathtouch/lifelink or would it be normal damage?
also would it still count as combat damage if it was redirected from an attacking creature?

@ meliagaunt.
Yes, the damage still has the properties, because it's from the source of the card, and it's just being redirected.
Example: If you were to Harm's Way a Giant Scorpion that blocked a 1/1 creature, and made it hit itself, the Giant Scorpion would still die because of the Death Touch ability. If you were to Harm's Way a Vampire Nighthawk, the controller of the Nighthawk would still gain the 2 life.

This card is much better than it appears to be initially. Not only can it redirect burn damage, but it makes for a hell of a combat trick. Wade in there with your 3/3 against his 4/3, kill his annoying 1/1 AND the 4/3, and keep your guy alive in the process.
Nice little card for the CC.
4.5/5

My evaluation of this card just went up as it won me both games in my draft finals tonight. First time, I redirected 2 damage from his Pyroclasm away from my Razorfoot Griffin onto his Stampeding Rhino, killing it. My griff was the only survivon and I rode it to victory. Second time was when he cast Overrun with two Borderland Rangers and me with only a tapped Illusionary Servant and 9 life. He only had 1 life, so I redirected 2 damage from one of the guys, surviving with 1 and killing him. :D

I love redirecting deathtouch, killing the deathtoucher with combat, and shooting down his fatty/ 2 deathly damage
