Saving Grace is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.
01
Official card text
Flash Enchant creature you control When this Aura enters, all damage that would be dealt this turn to you and permanents you control is dealt to enchanted creature instead. Enchanted creature gets +0/+3.
How it works : Saving Grace
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
Saving Grace's ability has no effect on damage already dealt earlier in the turn.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
If Saving Grace leaves the battlefield during the turn its triggered ability resolved, damage will continue to be redirected to the creature it enchanted before it left the battlefield. If the creature Saving Grace was last attached to isn't on the battlefield or isn't a creature at the time damage would be dealt, it won't be redirected.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
More damage can be redirected to the enchanted creature than it has toughness, as long as that damage is all dealt at once (like combat damage is).
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #4· Wizards of the Coast
Saving Grace's redirection effect doesn't change the source of the damage or whether the damage is combat damage.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #5· Wizards of the Coast
If you have more than one Saving Grace enter the battlefield in one turn, all damage that would be dealt at once to you and/or permanents you control is dealt to one of the enchanted creatures of your choice. It's not dealt to all of them, and you can't split the damage between them.
No other card is named in this ruling.
