Gideon's Sacrifice (Commander: Murders at Karlov Manor) Near Mint

Redirect the Pain

Gideon's Sacrifice is a compact instant that rewrites combat math for one turn. Cast it after blockers are declared or in response to a removal spell and pick a creature or planeswalker you control. From that moment damage that would strike you or your permanents is redirected to the chosen permanent instead. The effect forces opponents to consider the new target before committing to attacks or burn spells.

In a Karlov Manor commander game this card is utility that answers two problems at once. Use it to protect a fragile combo piece or to convert lethal damage into a strategic exchange with a resilient creature or a planeswalker that can cash in loyalty. The card reads simply but plays with timing and threat assessment, rewarding players who plan which permanent will survive and which will trade.
