Ultimate sideboard for Jeskai/Mardu/RW Aggro against most standard decks right now.
This card is attrocious against Red Deck Wins, Jeskai Aggro and most control decks but lets take a look at some rather popular cards being used:
Dragonlord OjutaiStormbreath DragonThunderbreak RegentCrater's Claw Stoke the FlamesJeskai Ascendancy (combo)Dragonlord AtarkaArbor ColossusPolukranos, World Eater
I mean, I know these cards have been problem cards for me and I also have noticed on quite a few occasions I end up losing with my opponent at 9-2 health.
Even with Thunderbreak Regent and Stormbreath Dragon it works. Why? Because Deflecting Palm doesn't target. You choose a source and prevent the damage.
I know it was popular for a short time but now with the over-abundance of strong creature decks emerging, wouldn't it make sense to make this card a DEFINITE sideboard?

That is a pretty cool actually. Puts in perspective cards that arent typically played right now are probably going to gain some momentum as time moves along. Im definitely going to start using it for my Mardu deck for sure.

Clearly you have not seen Grand Hand feat. The Psychic Bitchslap. Pairing Palm with Soulfire Grand Master is one of the funnier things you can do in this current Standard environment.
