How it works : Decimator Beetle

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Decimator Beetle’s second ability can target any creature you control, not just one with a -1/-1 counter on it. It’ll put a -1/-1 counter on the opponent’s creature even if there isn’t one to remove from your creature.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If one target of Decimator Beetle’s second ability becomes illegal, the other will still be affected.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
