About Red Herring Playtest

Red Herring Playtest, Creature — fish, designed by Chris Mooney first released in Nov, 2019 in the set Mystery Booster Playtest Cards 2019 and was printed exactly in 2 different ways.

This card could be beneficial in a deck focused on protecting key permanents or spells from being targeted by opponents, providing a versatile way to redirect threats to the Red Herring instead. However, it may be more situational compared to other cards like Spellskite which offers a similar effect more consistently. While Red Herring has its niche uses, its effectiveness in gameplay would depend on the specific strategies and meta of the deck it's included in.

Rules

11/12/19

If Red Herring isn’t a legal target for a spell or ability that targets the returned spell or permanent, that spell continues to target what it originally did. That spell or permanent will be an illegal target for the spell or ability, and that spell or ability won’t affect it.

11/12/19

If the returned object was attacking or blocking, so is Red Herring. If it was tapped, face down, or flipped, so is Red Herring.

11/12/19

You reveal Red Herring in your hand as you activate its ability, but you choose which spell or permanent to exchange as the ability resolves. No player may take actions between the time you choose a spell or permanent and the time you make the exchange.
