I have two units in base, and my opponent has two units in base. My opponent casts Star Crossed targeting one of my units and one of theirs. I cast Rebuttal, and take control of Star Crossed. Can I reselect only the "enemy unit" portion of Star Crossed to target my opponent's other unit? If so, do one or two units return to their hand?

Answer

Yes — you can retarget just the enemy-unit portion, and two units total go to hand (one yours, one theirs).

When you take control of Star-Crossed via Rebuttal, "friendly" and "enemy" are re-evaluated from your perspective. Your originally-targeted unit is still a legal "friendly unit" for you, so you may keep that choice and remake only the "enemy unit" choice onto your opponent's other unit. lets you remake any subset of a finalized spell's choices as long as the result is legal — you're not forced to change everything.

You cannot choose only an enemy unit, though: Star-Crossed's "a friendly unit and an enemy unit" is mandatory, so the friendly slot must stay filled (one of your units). On resolution, both chosen units return to their owners' hands — your unit to your hand, and the opponent's other unit to theirs. That's 2 units returned (one per player), not 1.

Does this answer look correct?
