I had a situation on magic online the other day. I controlled a spellskite with a splinter twin attached and a snapcaster mage. My opponent tried to electrolyze both my creatures. In response I made a spellskite copy and tried several times to make it so Snapcaster mage wasn't targeted. But I could only move the one damage assigned to spellskite, I could not remove the target from snapcaster mage. Is this just a bug or is there any logic to how this works?

I am petitioning for the removal of mythic rarity and boycotting overpriced singles. Sig this to join the cause for a more affordable Magic the Gathering.

So, they targeted the existing Spellskite and Snapcaster? If so, then yes, you should have been able to do what you wanted to do. The end result could have been both Spellskites being targeted.
That looks like a MODO bug since you get to choose which target you are changing so even if he did a 1-1 split you could redirect one of the targets to a spellskite that is not already one of its targets. But if he did a 1-1 split and one target was a spellskite, that spellskite cannot change the other target to itself since, when cast that way, electrolyze needs 2 different targets so if you were accidentally using the targeted one, it would fail.

Sound like a bug.
