Sacrificing
Explosive Apparatus to deal 2 damage to the player never gave me the option to redirect the damage to a planeswalker.
did you do it right? you need to target the player and then it does ask you to deal damage to the planeswalker.
i try it and it did work for me, where something else on the battlefield that did interfere with it?
I tried it again and it still didn't work. Thing is, I then also tried a
Fiery Temper, and it also didn't work.
I targeted the player and got no prompt asking me to redirect the damage to the Arlinn Kord in both cases, it just did the damage to the player.
Considering neither of these cards worked, it makes me think there might be something wrong with Arlinn Kord? I don't remember her state the first time it happened, but in this case she was flipped. Maybe the game doesn't recognize her as a planeswalker for the purposes of redirecting damage once she's flipped?
Edit: Just tried it again on a non-flipped Arlinn Kord and it still didn't work. In Dev Mode I then added a
Sorin, Grim Nemesis in play for the computer (so they have both an Arlinn Kord and a Sorin), Lightning Bolted the player and it DID prompt to ask me if I wanted to redirect, and then it asked me which planeswalker to redirect to and I was able to choose Arlin. So something fishy is going on with Arlinn Kord
