Hey everyone! I am looking into building a hive mind deck and I dont want to do the spells that say "you lose the game" I want to make it a bit more interesting.
Question: if I have hive mind and I play a card like Swords to Plowshares and everyone has to play it can the same creature be targeted for the stack? Say there are 3 players A, B, and C. I, player A, plays Swords to Plowshares with hive mind and choose Player C's creature. Does Player B and C have to choose new creatures or can they let the spell target the same creature and let the spell fizzle on the stack since the creature will be gone after the first copy?
Hope I explained that well enough! Thanks all

Thanks for the reply. Would something like Innocent Blood work better? I am trying to get it so its like a board clear.
Sure, if you have two opponents, two additional copies of Innocent Blood will be created for them, and if all instances resolve, each player will sacrifice a total of 3 creatures if they have any.
