Does Vaevictis Asmadi, the Dire's ability actually target?
Asked by SurpriZe 5 years ago
Can Vaevictis Asmadi, the Dire's ability target hexproof/shrouded permanents or not?
The confusion stems from the fact that it says "choose", and from what I know, in magic you don't target when you choose.

If it uses the word target at all it targets. The specific phrase "choose target" is in the Oricle text of 59 cards. It is used when a single effect performs multiple actions using the same set of targets (Capricious Efreet, Confiscation Coup, Time to Feed, etc) or when one player targets a permanent and another player performs an action on it (Unravel the Aether, Deglamer, Ashling, the Extinguisher, Vaevictis Asmadi, the Dire, etc).
