What's your favorite redirection/"gotcha" spell in magic?

I have never heard of the aikido archetype. Thank you handsome Magic man, I guess.

An amazing explanation for this archetype, sure to inspire new aikido players.

Holy refresh pull

Dude your aikido videos are awesome. I’ve been on the path towards discovering the archetype since all the goad precons were most fun to me, but I tried stuff like group hug Marisi and it never felt quite right… until finding your last video, and this is exactly what I was looking for! Your Marchesa decklist is the most fun deck I’ve ever played in commander and I’m looking forward to trying the Kaynaios and Tiro one!

Had a feeling my algorithm would bring me back to Aikido due to the prior vid. And I’m glad.

Hey! Thanks for explaining Jon! I was so curious!

Crazy, I had watched your Queen Marchesa video and was thinking I wanted to apply this to the K&T deck I’ve been chipping away at. Got some good ideas, thank you.

After your last Aikido video, I challenged myself to build an Aikido style deck in every three-color combination. Thus far I have the obvious: Mardu and Jeskai, but I also made an Abzan. Plugging away at the rest. I really enjoy how each color combination requires other focuses beyond just damage redirection. It's been a master class in threat management, defensive play, tricks and gotcha effects.

They are the most fun decks I have ever played.
