Bolt Bend, Instant, designed by Svetlin Velinov first released in April 2019 in the set War of the Spark and was printed exactly in 4 different ways. It see play in 2 formats: Commander and Standard. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of C$ 5.03.
This card, Bolt Bend, would be beneficial in a deck that focuses on high-power creatures, as it can be cast for a reduced cost if you control such a creature and can effectively redirect spells or abilities with single targets. While Bolt Bend can be a useful and unexpected trick to have in your arsenal, there may be better options depending on the specific strategy of your deck, such as cards like Deflecting Swat or Ricochet Trap, which offer similar effects with potentially more versatility. Ultimately, whether Bolt Bend should see play would depend on the overall synergy and game plan of the deck it is included in.
Rules
11/08/2024
If a spell or ability targets the same player or object multiple times, you can't target it with Bolt Bend.
11/08/2024
Once you've cast Bolt Bend, losing control of all creatures with power 4 or greater won't affect the spell or cause you to pay more mana.
11/08/2024
To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you're paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The mana value of the spell remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.
11/08/2024
You don't choose the new target for the spell or ability until Bolt Bend resolves. You must change the target if possible. However, you can't change the target to an illegal target. If there are no legal targets to choose from, the target isn't changed. It doesn't matter if the original target has somehow become illegal itself.
05/03/2019
If a spell or ability targets multiple things, you can’t target it with Bolt Bend, even if all but one of those targets have become illegal.
05/03/2019
Once you announce that you’re casting Bolt Bend, no player may take actions until the spell has been paid for. Notably, opponents can’t try to change whether you control a creature with power 4 or greater.
05/03/2019
