Phage the Untouchable and Strionic Resonator

Asked by Death_The_Kid 10 years ago

Strionic Resonator states it can copy and choose a new target for a triggered ability with the keyword "whenever" Phage the Untouchable states "Whenever Phage deals combat damage to a player that player loses the game". So my question is if I get Phage to touch a player can I copy the "lose the game" effect and point it at someone else?

the key word here is "that" so I would say...No.

A spell or ability only targets if it uses the word "target". Since Phage the Untouchable 's third ability does not use the word "target", you would not be able to choose new targets with a copy of the ability from Strionic Resonator .
