So, this came up the other night and I was wondering what the right call was.
I had a Jace, Memory Adept and a Courser of Kruphix in play. I used Jace's +1 to draw a card and mill a target for 1. Can I wait until I see the card on top after I draw to decide whether to mill myself or mill my opponent?
114.1. Some spells and abilities require their controller to choose one or more targets for them. The targets are object(s), player(s), and/or zone(s) the spell or ability will affect. These targets are declared as part of the process of putting the spell or ability on the stack. The targets cant be changed except by another spell or ability that explicitly says it can do so.
So you will have to announce the target when you put the ability on the stack. Then, it will resolve, you will draw your card, and whoever you targeted to mill one card will mill one card.
