Rabid Gnaw 
Instant
Target creature you control gets +1/+0 until end of turn. Then it deals damage equal to its power to target creature you don't control.
Unbeknownst to the hosts, the foraged seeds they served at dinner had been touched by a Calamity Beast. The results were ... disturbing.

Ruling (1)
- If the creature you control is a legal target but the creature you don’t control isn’t as Rabid Gnaw resolves, the creature you control will get +1/+0 until end of turn, but no damage will be dealt. If instead the creature you control is an illegal target but the creature you don’t control is still a legal target, nothing will happen when Rabid Gnaw resolves.
