Can stuffy dolls tap ability target a planes walker?  A planes walker is considered a player.  There is a big split in belief on the subject here so I wanted some outside perspective.  I don't know the finite details about planes walker errata.

Planeswalkers are not technically considered a player. They are a permanent. So any spell or ability that can target or affect permanents can affect Planeswalker. Spells that target a player cannot.

Now in terms of noncombat damage, as long the source of damage resolves / allowed to happen to a player, you may choose to redirect it to a Planeswalker (that player controls).

To differentiate, when you attack via combat, you declare as an attack to a Planeswalker; you do not redirect like you would with noncombat damage.

Refrence: Rule # 306.6 and 306.7

So when he damages me with the stuffy doll he can choose to redirect it to the planeswalker? And how do you make the link to the card I couldn't figure that out?

Yes, your opponent may choose to redirect Stuffy Doll's triggered ability damage from you onto a Planeswalker you control.

To link a card, use the curly brackets with the card's name inside. Its the shifted version of ( ) on an iOS device.
