When do you choose targets for Volibear's furious attack ability, and when do you distribute damage?

Ruling: You declare targets when Volibear attacks (when the ability goes on the stack). The opponent can then react knowing what your targets are. When the ability resolves, you distribute the damage among the chosen targets.

Sequence:

  • Declare any number of targets (0-5) when Volibear attacks
  • Opponent can react knowing what the targets are
  • When the ability resolves, distribute damage to all chosen targets

Nuances:

  • Each chosen target must receive at least 1 damage if possible
  • You cannot choose multiple targets and then only damage one of them
  • You can deal more than 1 damage to each target
