- Decimator Beetle’s second ability can target any creature you control, not just one with a -1/-1 counter on it. It’ll put a -1/-1 counter on the opponent’s creature even if there isn’t one to remove from your creature.
- If one target of Decimator Beetle’s second ability becomes illegal, the other will still be affected.
