Actually, in a casual setting, we sometimes play a format where we can 'redirect' who we're attacking using house rules for a laugh, but officially? That鈥檚 a no-go. Your opponent is your opponent until the game says otherwise.
Nope, you can't just decide to change who your opponent is in the middle of a game. Magic The Gathering has pretty clear rules about game structure and opponent interaction. You're locked in combat with your current opponent until the game ends. However, in multiplayer formats, you can strategize differently with alliances or choose how your spells and abilities target, but the fundamental designation of opponents doesn't change.
