In a Supervillain Rumble game, the targeted player may still choose “others.” Each player who isn’t the active player or the targeted player will thus be affected.

The targeted player may choose “others” even if there are no others (because all of their teammates have lost the game, for example), or the archenemy’s other opponents can’t perform the resulting action.

The targeted player may choose “self” even if they can’t perform the resulting action. For example, a player targeted with Feed the Machine may choose “self” even if they control no creatures.

Price History

To study a single card is to glimpse the heart of a spell - a frozen moment of ambition, artistry, and arcane intent. Within each glyph lies a spark: a story untold, a duel turned, a destiny altered. Treat it not as mere parchment, dear seeker, but as a shard of the Multiverse itself.
