Request for Aikido Support

In the color pie article, you mentioned that damage redirection isn't something that is done that often anymore. However, I find that cards like Deflecting Palm, Backlash, and (possibly my favorite Magic card ever) Reflect Damage support an interesting style of gameplay, nicknamed "aikido" since it's all about turning attacks on you back onto the opponent. Would I be able to ask you (and by extension R&D) for a legendary creature that would explicitly support such a style in the future?

Any effect can be built around. When we stop or greater lower the occurrence of an effect, it means we’re preventing players from accessing a certain strategy or strategies. So a strategy existing isn’t unto itself a reason to start doing something we’ve stopped. And for what it’s worth, back in the day, I made a pretty potent white/blue aikido deck.
