About Deflecting Palm

Deflecting Palm, Instant, designed by Eric Deschamps first released in Sep, 2014 in the set Khans of Tarkir Promos and was printed exactly in 4 different ways. It see play in 3 formats: Modern, Legacy and Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 3.05.

Deflecting Palm is a great addition to a Boros (Red/White) deck focused on dealing damage and controlling the board. It can be particularly effective against aggressive decks that rely on dealing damage quickly, as it not only prevents damage to you but also turns it back on the opponent. While there may be other cards with similar effects like Boros Charm or Path to Exile, Deflecting Palm's versatility and surprise factor make it a strong contender for inclusion in such a deck, especially in a meta where direct damage is prevalent. It's definitely a card worth considering for the sideboard or even mainboard in the right deck.
