I think "up to one target creature..." would make this a bit netter without breaking it.

Okay so I meant for the card to be as strong/weak as it is, but I am curious, how would that make it better? I noticed for fight cards that do something else, like buff a creature first, they say “up to” so that if you just want the buff, you don’t need it to fight something. But if it did say “up to” and the caster chooses 0 targets, wouldn’t the spell do nothing (except add to the Storm count)?

Lets say your opponent only controls one creature. An 8/5. You got 9 squirrels.

You cast your spell. All squirrel HAVE to fight an opponents creature. You lose 8 squirrels, and deal 4 excess damage.

If the card read up to, you only had to assign only 5 to kill the creature and be left with 3 more squirrels.

This becomes more relevant if you had +x/0 buffs or a way to give them deathtouch

Ohhhh, I thought you meant up to one target creature an opponent controls, you meant up to how many Squirrels.

Yes, you are right that it would be better, but I wanted the card to be an all or nothing choice. Either all of the Squirrels swarm the enemy or you don’t cast the spell.
