If you target Pouty Poro with Icathian Rain 6 times, can you recycle 1 and have Deflect negate the other ones?
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
