You can’t choose more modes for Vindictive Lich’s triggered ability than you have opponents, but you need to choose at least one target if you can.
2017-08-25
You don’t have to choose a mode for each opponent. For example, you could make one opponent lose 5 life and spare each other opponent. They might not repay your kindness.
