Chandra's Ignition with Zada, Hedron Grinder ability
Asked by CalamityDuck 4 years ago
If I used Chandra's Ignition on the creature Zada, Hedron Grinder , would it make every creature I control deal damage to every other creature? I'm still a little iffy on how targetting works, so I'm not sure how it would work.

The answer is a little complicated.
Zada will make copies of the spell targeting each of your other creatures. Since the copies are trying to go onto the stack at the same time and you control all of them, you choose the order to put them onto the stack. After the first copy resolves and deals damage to each other creature and each opponent, some of your other creatures might die (depending on the amount of damage dealt). This means any copies of Chandra's Ignition that were targeting a creature that died won't have legal targets when it's their turn to resolve, and they won't do anything.
So the order that you put the copies onto the stack matters a lot in terms of how many Ignitions you're able to resolve and how much total damage you're able to deal.
