114.3. The same target can’t be chosen multiple times for any one instance of the word “target” on a
spell or ability. If the spell or ability uses the word “target” in multiple places, the same object,
player, or zone can be chosen once for each instance of the word “target” (as long as it fits the
targeting criteria). This rule applies both when choosing targets for a spell or ability and when
changing targets or choosing new targets for a spell or ability (see rule 114.6).
601.2c The player announces his or her choice of an appropriate player, object, or zone for each
target the spell requires. A spell may require some targets only if an alternative or additional
cost (such as a buyback or kicker cost), or a particular mode, was chosen for it; otherwise, the
spell is cast as though it did not require those targets. If the spell has a variable number of
targets, the player announces how many targets he or she will choose before he or she
announces those targets. The same target can’t be chosen multiple times for any one instance of
the word “target” on the spell. However, if the spell uses the word “target” in multiple places,
the same object, player, or zone can be chosen once for each instance of the word “target” (as
long as it fits the targeting criteria). If any effects say that an object or player must be chosen as
a target, the player chooses targets so that he or she obeys the maximum possible number of
such effects without violating any rules or effects that say that an object or player can’t be
chosen as a target. The chosen players, objects, and/or zones each become a target of that spell.
(Any abilities that trigger when those players, objects, and/or zones become the target of a spell
trigger at this point; they’ll wait to be put on the stack until the spell has finished being cast.)
Example: If a spell says “Tap two target creatures,” then the same creature can’t be
chosen twice; the spell requires two different legal targets. A spell that says “Destroy
target artifact and target land,” however, can target the same artifact land twice
because it uses the word “target” in multiple places.
