Veteran Bodyguard 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.
Official card text
As long as this creature is untapped, all damage that would be dealt to you by unblocked creatures is dealt to this creature instead.
How it works : Veteran Bodyguard
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
If a creature is blocked but Trample damage is still done to a player, this damage can't be redirected to the Bodyguard because the Bodyguard only takes damage from unblocked creatures.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
Damage goes to the Bodyguard as long as he is untapped. This works even if he is blocking.
No other card is named in this ruling.
