Runeclaw Elder was always meant to draw a card for itself and encourage playing 2/2 vanillas rather than discourage it in other players, so the slightly changed published wording will probably become canon once I get some feedback on the card as a whole.
Hmm. The idea is a natural one. Calling the recipient of an attack a 'direction' is simple enough; and adding terminology for that is fine and natural.
Calling the recipient of an attack the target of an attack would be even mnore natural; but magic already used that word.
A "direction" is what you declare as you declare them an attacker e. g. a player or planeswalker, but depending on the game mode/custom cards you are playing with a direction might be a different game object than a permanent or player (e. g. a zone or card not on the battlefield), so I introduce a new game term to serve as an umbrella for all of them.
The reminder text is silly, but would help hammer home that combat damage assignment between those blocking pairs stops entirely.

Concept for white demon.
Optional: "That permanent entering the battlefield doesn't cause abilities to trigger."
Life gain necessary?
Sometimes I really notice how Specter, Spirit and Wraith don't need to be separate creature types.
Similar stuff appears at common.
