Deflect — Riftbound keyword reference

Glossary

Deflect is a Riftbound keyword that makes a card or ability more expensive for an opponent to target you or the permanent with it. "Deflect [X]" adds X Power, of any domain, as a mandatory extra cost every time an opponent's spell or ability chooses that target — a tax on being singled out, not a hard block.
