Turn the Tables · Compendium

All combat damage that would be dealt to you this turn is dealt to target attacking creature instead.

Mox strategy

Turn the Tables is a defensive instant that redirects all combat damage from you to a target attacking creature for a turn. Its primary strength lies in protecting your life total from lethal attacks or large damage bursts. Best used in midrange or control decks to survive board stalls or against big attackers. Synergizes well with decks running creatures with high toughness or those that benefit from receiving damage (like Dawntreader Elk or creatures with damage triggers). It enables strategic combat manipulation, giving you time to stabilize or set up counterplays. Great in multiplayer formats where single big hits threaten your survival.
