Rulings
-
Magus of the Arena's controller always chooses their creature first.
-
If either target leaves the battlefield before the ability resolves, the ability taps the remaining target, but no damage is dealt. If both targets leave the battlefield, the ability doesn't resolve.
-
If an effect changes the targets of this ability, the second target can be changed to any creature the chosen opponent controls. The choice of opponent can't be changed.
-
Tapped creatures can be targeted. Tapping them again will do nothing, but they'll still deal damage.
-
If an effect changes the targets of this ability, the second target can be changed to any creature the chosen opponent controls. The choice of opponent can't be changed.
