Blaster Deflection

A unique Light Side Used or Lost Interrupt that protects mains from weapons fire comes in handy quite often. This interrupt's destiny of 4 is nice as well. Its Used function is the most appealing, as it cancels an attempt to use a character weapon to target your character of ability greater than 4. This works wonderfully to protect Luke and Obi from getting sliced up by a lightsaber! Successfully playing this card at a key moment could turn the momentum of a game to favor the Light Side. Blaster Deflection's Lost function plays if your character of ability greater than 4 with a lightsaber was just targeted by a blaster. It uses 3 Force to re-target that blaster to an opponent's character present. This offensive use isn't as nice as the defensive Used function, but it could eliminate an extra opposing character while the saber gets used against a more preferred target. Options during a battle are always good.
