Cutting Retort (Red)

Cutting Retort’s ability triggers when it resolves on the stack and becomes an attacking card against a hero. This is an optional effect: you choose to pay up to when the triggered effect resolves. You will destroy that many aura tokens with different names of your choice that hero controls equal to the number of resources you paid. Then you will get + equal to the number of auras destroyed this way.

When resolving Cutting Retort’s triggered effect, there is no priority between any of the effects generated (e.g. paying resources, destroying tokens, etc.).

If your opponent is under an effect that results in cards they control to lose names (e.g. Amnesia), you would not destroy any aura tokens they control as those tokens would not have any names.
