Can Zada, Hedron Grinder copy spells that say "divided as you choose" or "target creature you control does X to another target?"

Asked by H3y_Im_Rob 2 years ago

Examples:

Let's say I have 3 2/2 creature tokens and Zada, Hedron Grinder in play, I cast Twin Bolt and target Zada, Hedron Grinder with the 2 damage, she triggers and copies Twin Bolt 3 more times; would I be able to divide the 3 copies of Twin Bolt 's damage?

The other example would be the same scenario as the top, but instead of Twin Bolt it's something like Fall of the Hammer

When you copy a spell, you copy its number of targets.

If you cast Twin Bolt with only Zada, Hedron Grinder as its target, you copy it for each of your three tokens and don't have an opportunity to split the damage with another target.

Fall of the Hammer won't trigger Zada because she isn't the only target for the spell.
