Gidgetimer on Does "choose a creature" equal …

Yes, it dies. Spells and abilities only target if they specifically use the word "target" in their text. Imperial Edict 's oracle text reads:

Target opponent chooses a creature they control. Destroy that creature.

So the player is targeted, but the creature is not.

If I control only one creature and it is equipped with Whispersilk Cloak , and my opponent plays an Imperial Edict , does my creature die from the Edict?
