Answer

Ruling: You pick targets for all 6 triggers simultaneously and decide which Deflect costs to pay before they go on the stack. You can choose to pay for only 1 Deflect and decline to pay for the other 5.

Sequence:

  • All 6 Icathian Rain triggers target at the same time
  • You decide which Deflect costs to pay (can choose to pay for 1 and not the others)
  • Only the ones you pay for go on the stack
  • The ones you don't pay for never go on the stack
  • This decision is made before your opponent can react

Nuances:

  • You must make all payment decisions before seeing what your opponent will do in response
