How it works : Magma Opus
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
The same permanent can be chosen as a target for each of the two instances of "target." That is, you can have Magma Opus both deal damage to a creature or planeswalker and then tap it. (We're having a hard time imagining why you would, but you're the brilliant student.)
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
You choose all targets for Magma Opus as you cast the spell. This includes up to four targets for the first effect and two target permanents for the second effect.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
If somehow all of Magma Opus's targets are illegal as it tries to resolve, none of its effects happen. You will not create an Elemental token or draw two cards.
