Do you have to Tap a Creature Pressure Point
Asked by macster 8 years ago
I'm trying to build a post rotation prowess deck and I was unsure about this. If I cast Pressure Point and I have a creature but my opponent does not do I have to target my creature to draw the card?

Yes. You need to target a creature for each use of the word target on a card. You're allowed to target an already tapped creature, but you have to target something.

Yes. You can't just ignore part of an effect unless something is legitimately preventing you from doing so. You need a target creature in order to cast Pressure Point. The creature can be a tapped creature, your creature, an opponent's creature, etc. but you aren't allowed to ignore the tap instruction and just draw the card; the tap is not optional.
