Blessing of valaya and temple guard both say that they will redirect the next 2 damage dealt to tgt unit to another unit. What happens if unit A is dealt 1 damage first by a tactic or ability, and then dealt another 1 damage later on during combat. Will it redirect both damage or just the first one? Also, can you redirect uncancellable damage and if so, is it still considered uncancellable if the receiving unit has toughness?
Redirecting damage question

That was some serious question density. Here goes:
1. It redirects both damage. The effect hangs around until end of turn (or until 2 dmg has been redirected).
2. You can redirect uncancellable damage, because redirection is not cancellation.
3. Redirecting damage does not change the source or type of the damage, so the damage is still uncancellable (this was asked and answered in a similar thread about redirecting combat damage).
Um, sorry about this, but for some bizarre reason as I was looking at this thread, I saw the option to "Erase" on top of each post. Then I saw other admin-y stuff so I wanted to see what was going on and tried the least harmful one: Sticky. And for some reason it worked, at least on my side. Not sure if everyone else is seeing this stickied now. My momentary administration has ended though, so the mishap won't happen again. Thought maybe we had new controls to make things appear stickied for ourselves only, or to hide posts for ourselves only, etc.
