Wick's Patrol rulings

2024-07-26
You don't choose a target for Wick's Patrol's ability at the time it triggers. Rather, a second "reflexive" ability triggers when you mill three cards this way. You choose a target for this ability as it goes on the stack. Each player may respond to this triggered ability as normal.
2024-07-26
If your library has two or fewer cards in it when Wick's Patrol's ability resolves, you'll mill as many cards as you can, but the reflexive ability won't trigger.
2024-07-26
The value of X is calculated only once, as the reflexive ability resolves.

Mill Rule 701.13

For a player to mill a number of cards, that player puts that many cards from the top of their library into their graveyard.

A player can’t mill a number of cards greater than the number of cards in their library. If given the choice to do so, they can’t choose to take that action. If instructed to do so, they mill as many as possible. Similarly, the player can’t pay a cost that includes milling a number of cards greater than the number of cards in their library.

An effect that refers to a milled card can find that card in the zone it moved to from the library, as long as that zone is a public zone.

If an ability checks information about a single milled card but more than one card was milled, that ability refers to each of the milled cards. If that ability asks for any information about the milled card, such as a characteristic or mana value, it gets multiple answers. If these answers are used to determine the value of a variable, the sum of the answers is used. If that ability performs any actions on “the” card, it performs that action on each milled card. If that ability performs any actions on “a” card, the controller of the ability chooses which card is affected.
