Rules Q&A

• Q: If zaiberu goes to use his ability, and the opponent wants to target 2... if I have Tide From Beyond, can I have him only target the 1?
  A: No. "Choose targets" step is before Interrupts. You could only change 1 of the chosen targets to something else instead with Tide. Brook Cunningham, "Onyx Lives #rules-questions", 12 Apr 2026
• Q: If the opponent uses this, and destroys the spell, if I Tide from Beyond, can I choose only 1 target?
  A: Tide can only change 1 target, not both.
  (Replying to a player: "The thing was this: Kitsu had 4 personalities (A, B, C, and D), and I targeted B and C. So, Kitsu used Tide (attached to personality D) and tried to redirect the range attack toward B to C, making both range attacks target C... Is that possible?") Yeah. Unfortunately, there's nothing prohibiting you targeting the same card with two consecutive RAs (this would be different if the RAs were simultaneous, which would require all the targets be different). Therefore, there's nothing illegal about redirecting the second RA to the first target; it would then just fail when it failed to find it if the first RA already killed it.
