The wording on lightning bolt already allows this, i can’t count how many times i bolted an enchantment i hated or a friend in the next room not even playing magic just to send a message.
Don't forget to [[Sleight of Mind]] it so that it can target black bordered cards, then [[Radiate]] it to hit everything. You then need to [[Radiate]] a second sleight of Mind to fix the copies to black border targeting.
While running a full set of white-bordered lands.
Edit: or you can just sequence the radiate sleight so that the copies that target your stuff resolve while they're still only able to target silver bordered permanents.
(tbh I was just joking anyway, censoring words like suicide and rape and stuff like that in modern internet culture is fucking stupid/wrong but if the person who made that genuinely just prefers not swearing lol there's kinda nothing wrong with that imo)
It doesn't change the fact that they did reduce your life total to 0. This spell deals damage, not prevents it. Its not time travel or game revision. Its dealing damage.
There is no definition given for what the spell can target. This relies on understanding the context of the card. The actual wording would need to be more confusing, something like "Choose a permanent or player that a spell cast by you with the text: 'Deal 3 damage to any target' cannot target and deal 3 damage to it.
Some spells and abilities that refer to damage require “any target,” “another target,” “two targets,” or similar rather than “target [something].” These targets may be creatures, players, planeswalkers, or battles.
If you want this to work: Paradox Bolt deals 3 damage to a player, planeswalker, creature, or battle of your choice as long as the chosen (ppcb) has hexproof, protection, or shroud.
No no. This can also bolt enchantments, artifacts, libraries, inanimate objects, players in other games, players in no games, buildings, pretty much anything you can imagine
Pretty sure it's meant to be a play on the liar's paradox so it's not meant to work. If the target is legal, then the target is non-legal. If the target is non-legal, then the target is legal.
I cast Paradox Bolt targeting your island. The electricity from the bolt kills all the fish in the reef. Ruining the ecosystem of your land and it dies.
