That “do this" wording is a lot like the one on Falling Star and Icathian Rain. Are those reflexive triggers too?
Yes! This means that these two spells no longer actually have any targets of their own—you play them with no choices. If they resolve, you then put each instance of their reflexive trigger on the chain separately, choosing the same or different units as you like. You'll pay Deflect costs for each one as you put each trigger on the chain, and then the triggered abilities will resolve one at a time in the opposite order they were put on the chain. This is a big change to how those two cards work, but we think it actually matches how many people expected them to work when they first saw them.
If Icathian Rain chooses a unit at Heisho, Shell of the World and five units elsewhere, how many times do I pay for Deflect?
Not at all. While your spell or ability chooses a unit at Heisho, you ignore Deflect while paying for it — Deflect is treated as inactive on all units, since Heisho doesn't specify whose Deflect to ignore. This applies only to that spell or ability; at least one of its targets must be a unit at Heisho.
