Official rulings

Each target must be assigned at least 1 damage.

2006-07-15 · Wizards of the Coast

The damage is divided when Magmatic Core’s ability triggers. Increasing or decreasing the number of age counters on Magmatic Core after the ability triggers but before it resolves has no effect on the amount of damage that’s dealt.

2006-07-15 · Wizards of the Coast

If Magmatic Core has no age counters on it, the only number of targets the ability can have is zero.

2006-07-15 · Wizards of the Coast
