I like the idea of this card, but I think it would be fair to limit it to one battle perhaps. Or maybe raise the cost some.

I like the idea of changing it to say "The next battle damage that is dealt to your faction is instead dealt to your opponent's faction". That would allow you to redirect an entire battle/speed worth of damage, but not make it so OP that if you played it they couldn't do anything to hurt you that entire turn.

Could also make the cost X and have it redirect up to X damage.

Or reduce the threshold to G and have the damage redirection cap at the number of [G] you control.

I dont feel that you should make it any worse, I mean there are already non rares in banker that can stop you from taking any damage for the rest of the turn. So giving this Rare rarity should let it keep the same effect.

So the problem here is the sheer power of the effect. Being able to redirect, for example, your opponent's lethal Shproingmajig is unbelievably powerful. 4 is certainly undercosted for the effect, but I'm not sure, even at a higher cost, that this card will ever be viable as written. Personally, I like Kallisti's suggestion of making it threshold based.

[Matthera184]

I agree with Kallisti's suggestion for the "Pay X. Redirect X damage" change.

[Qamar]

I like both kallisti's sugestion, especially second. Change it to either of these versions.
