Just wondering how misdirection works in regards to targeting things.
For example hired killer and ruthless advance say target unit, so could you misdirect it back to one of their personalities, or does it also have to meet to gold payments requirement?

1. Action announced.
2. Misdirection played.
3. Targets picked using Misdirection, following rules laid out by that card.
4. Costs of the action paid for as usual.
Additional: Hired Killer is not an action that can be legally affected by Misdirection.
