Damage Changes As the planeswalker redirect rule is a rule change, MSEM has been errated to adapt to it. The following rules have been applied to the format's cards: • Cards that dealt damage to "target creature or player" now deal damage to "any target" or "target creature, player, or planeswalker" • Cards that dealt damage to "target player" or "target opponent" now deal damage to "target player or planeswalker" or "target opponent or planeswalker" • Cards that dealt damage to players without targeting haven't been changed and now can't damage planeswalkers.
Exceptions Marzen’s Frenzy and Tears of Samang have been worded to still hit planeswalkers at fluffy's request.
