This instills confusion since the text on Bolt Bend (and similar cards) does not have unique meaning. We were under the impression that "Change the target of target spell or ability with a single target" logically means: "Change the target of a [target spell/ability] into (another) single target of your choice". Otherwise it should have read: "Change the target of [target spell/ability that has only a single target]". (Im putting target restrictions in [] brackets)
Can you legally cast Bolt Bend on a spell that don't have targets (for eg Cultivate)? What will happen, can you even put it on the stack and will it resolve with no effect?
There's a similar thread about Redirect, but Bolt Bend have different wording..
My opponent casts Appetite for Brains, and in response I cast Redirect. Can I target him and redirect spell back at him?
Scenario 2:
I have a creature enchanted with Snake Umbra. My opponent gains control over my creature through some effect. My opponent attacks me with my creature enchanted with Snake Umbra and deals damage with it. Does he get to draw a card?
I would need official rulings to back your claims, please. Thank you so much
