767. Ignored abilities are only treated as inactive for the specific game action or procedure described, and only by the players directed by the ability. Example: A spell reads in part "Ignore Deflect while paying this spell's costs." If another player attempts to play a spell targeting the same units that the above spell does, that other spell will not ignore Deflect. Example: A unit reads "You ignore Backline while assigning combat damage here." Any other player assigning combat damage at the same location as that unit will not be able to ignore Backline.
