Answer

Ruling: No, Spirit's Refuge does not stack Deflect because it says "they have Deflect if they didn't already." This prevents multiple instances from the same source from stacking.

Nuances:

  • allows Deflect to stack when granted by multiple sources, but is currently designed for future-proofing when more Deflect cards are added
  • The "if they didn't already" restriction in Spirit's Refuge's rules text prevents stacking
  • This differs from Green Lee Sin's buff stacking because Lee has ability text "I can have any number of buffs" which overrides the usual restriction
  • If Spirit's Refuge did not have the "if they didn't already" clause in its rules text, then Deflect would stack
  • Restrictions in reminder text (in brackets) do not function the same as restrictions in rules text

Does this answer look correct?
