Forum:Negate Attack vs Divine Wrath Targetting question

I'd like to know what determines if a card targets or not. I know that Negate Attack targets but Divine Wrath doesn't. It makes no sense to me since Divine Wrath is chained in activation of a single monster's effect and destroys only that monster. Negate Attack however, only negates the attack and does not do anything specifically to the monster itself and then it ends the battle phase. Negate Attack seems more like a card that affects the player rather than the monster, while Divine Wrath is the contrary.

So I'd like to know what people rely on when they write the rulings to determine what targets a card and what doesn't. Rayved (talk • contribs) 17:56, April 15, 2011 (UTC)
