Perhaps a new template for new direct damage spells going forward. A direct hit to the head startles the victim, causing them to lose focus.
(Inspired by the MTG: Arena novel.)
Are you saying that you don't want direct damage spells to deal damage to permanents anymore going forward?
the template doesn't change the valid targets . it only adds an additional effect if a player was damaged this way .
Also, wasn't 'exhaust' already used for "Tap and doesn't untap next turn"?
You might be thinking of "exert".

It literally says "target player" for me.

Actually, the effect gets past absorb as it is worded.
I don't understand. "To target player" has always been a valid template?
The only thing different about this card really seems to be the inverted symbol order in the mana cost. Otherwise it's a burn spell to the face + set mechanic. Wording really similar to well-known cards like Blightning.
