Vraag: Kun je met Misdirection een Aura die gespeeld wordt van target verwisselen?
Antwoord: Jazeker, want een Aura spell op de stack target de permanent waarop hij gespeeld gaat worden. Dat is (helaas) de enige uitzondering waarbij het woord target niet op de kaart staat (maar in de spelregels}. Het is dus een spell met een single target.
