I've noticed you didn't decide to go with "Deflect 2", but instead wanted Deflect to be a static number (always 2). I think I prefer the former, but I can dig the latter. I was also wondering if you thought of making this "unless its source's controller pays
for each damage prevented", or if you thought that was too confusing?
I considered both of those, but I tossed it out this way just so I'd remember it. If I went with either of them, it would be "Deflect X," for exactly the reason you stated: having it scale with the damage is confusing to read and to word.
I need a more flavorful name. It's meant to represent a shield of mist that has to be swept aside (by paying mana) in order for the combatant to hit the creature.
Added mechanic.
