Pekiro
A 2-attack Pyreskin that survives one burn effect each turn and sends that damage onto an enemy entity instead.
Errata. Printed: “Once/Turn: If this card would take damage from an ability or spell, you may redirect that damage to another entity in any Garden.” Official errata
How to play it
- Pay Collateral Burst's 1-damage cost with Pekiro and redirect it to an enemy entity. Pekiro stays healthy, and you deal 3 damage in total for 2 IKZ.
- With 1 health, it can redirect your own Firestorm once, but a second ping or sweep in the same turn destroys it.
- Combat damage can't be redirected. After it attacks it is tapped, and almost any attacker can destroy it, so attack only when the hit matters.
