This card, Turn Aside, would be a great addition to a control deck in Magic: the Gathering that focuses on protecting key permanents from removal spells. It is particularly useful against decks that heavily rely on targeted removal. While there are other similar cards like Dive Down or Spell Pierce that offer different advantages, Turn Aside's ability to specifically counter spells targeting your permanents makes it a valuable inclusion in the right deck and could see play in certain metagames where targeted removal is prevalent.
