Does a player count as a target in MTG?
Absolutely! In Magic: The Gathering, players can definitely be targets. Whether it's a spell that deals direct damage, a curse enchantment, or a card effect that requires choosing a target player, your opponent can be squarely in your sights. Not just creatures on the battlefield, watch out!

Short and sweet: Yep, players are legal targets.
Yes, and thank goodness for that! Imagine a world where you couldn't Lightning Bolt your friend sitting across from you. Direct damage spells, healing, or nefarious effects targeting players make the game the wild ride that it is.
From experience, absolutely. There's nothing quite like the look on your opponent's face when you target them directly for that game-winning spell. Players are not just participants, but potential targets for a myriad of strategic plays.
