This is a good idea but I need to know if it'd even work as I hope. Tap artillery to deal two damage to opponent and 3 to yourself then use reroute off isochron and reroute the 3 damage to opponent. You see the idea. I'll wait for comments lol.

I don't think so. Reroute can only change a single target, and the Orcish Artillery isn't targeting you; so the only target it can change is the player you intended on pinging in the first place lol.

That's what I'm thinking, too.

Just use a lifelink enchantment, and go it. :D

I figured as much but with it stating I should take 3 I started to think just maybe...lol. This was just as I thought it would which is not at all.

It was a nice idea, but due to reroutes wording it doesn't work. The creature targets another creature/player and you, so it technically targets two sources rather than one. However, you do get to draw a card each turn lol

chewy- no you don't "technically" have 2 targets, there is only 1 target.  

The use of the word "you" does not make it a target.  For something to be a target it has to specifically say the word "target". 

The artillery only has 1 instance of targeting, which can be rerouted
