You can choose zero targets. In this case, Magmatic Core deals no damage.
- WotCJul 15, 2006
Each target must be assigned at least 1 damage.
- WotCJul 15, 2006
If Magmatic Core has no age counters on it, the only number of targets the ability can have is zero.
- WotCJul 15, 2006
The damage is divided when Magmatic Core’s ability triggers. Increasing or decreasing the number of age counters on Magmatic Core after the ability triggers but before it resolves has no effect on the amount of damage that’s dealt.
