Whenever a player cycles a card, you may pay . If you do, Lightning Rift deals 2 damage to any target.
"Jealous of storms, Vadrok took lightning from the sky and buried it deep under the earth. It still rumbles there, longing to escape."n—*Tales of the Ozolith*
You choose the target when Lightning Rift’s ability is put on the stack, but you choose whether to pay the mana as the ability resolves. Once you make that choice, no player may take actions until the damage is dealt and the ability has finished resolving.
Random a card of Magic: The Gathering (MTG), but you can also roll the D20 dice, random a Planeswalker, have fun with the random rules and more.
