If i'm not terribly mistaken, this card saves Planeswalkers from direct damage spells like lightning bolt. The rules say that Lightning bolt can not target a planeswalker because it is neither a creature, nor a player; however, if a player is targeted, the owner of the lightning bolt can choose to redirect the damage to a planeswalker that player controls.

Obviously, if the player can't be targeted to begin with because of this leyline, then the damage can not be redirected to the planeswalker.

@Trowa and @Farin:

Trample doesn't target either creatures or players. Take a look at the reminder text on Overrun. There's no usage of the word "target;" therefore, there is no targeting involved.

That said, this seems like a solid card. I would be quite happy to pull one from a booster.

@Khanbg: No, it doesn't. Shroud, and this card, only protect from effects with the word target. If a card such as Wrath of God or those other leylines doesn't specifically say target, it still has an effect, and in the case of Wrath of God, all of your creatures are dead. So the leylines are still going to prevent life from being gained or damage prevented (Leyline of Punishment) or exiling the cards that hit your graveyard (Leyline of the Void).

Did this card need to be made? Probably not. Will I add it to my Angel deck to protect me from tiny pingers and Lightning Bolts that would wish to prevent me from putting counters on my Luminarch Ascension? Most definitely.

No, I don't think I'll be taking that Jinxed Idol back. You hold on to it, m'kay?
