Do Auras Target on Cast in MTG?
Yep, when you're casting an Aura spell, it definitely targets. You gotta choose what it's attaching to right when you cast it, according to the rules. So, always pick your target wisely to avoid any counters or removals ruining your grand plan!

Actually, the targeting part is what makes Auras risky business. If the target disappears before the Aura hits, say bye-bye to your spell due to lack of targets. Kinda like trying to put a saddle on a ghost horse. Not gonna work.
Short answer: Yes, they target when cast. Gotta know what you're enchanting from the get-go!
No, they don't. Just kidding, they totally do. Strategy tip: Use this targeting rule to your advantage with cards that trigger upon targeting or to outsmart your opponent's removal spells.
