Return target nonland permanent to its owner's hand. Then that player discards a card if you control a Zombie.
"Sono finiti i tempi dell'ospitalità tra vicini!"Fai tornare un permanente non terra bersaglio in mano al suo proprietario. Poi quel giocatore scarta una carta se controlli uno Zombie.
If the target nonland permanent is an illegal target as Compelling Deterrence tries to resolve, it won’t resolve and none of its effects will happen. No player will discard a card.
Compelling Deterrence checks to see if you control a Zombie after the target nonland permanent is returned to its owner’s hand. For example, if you target the only Zombie you control with Compelling Deterrence, you won’t discard a card.
The card returned to its owner’s hand may be the card they discard. If it’s the only card in that player’s hand, it must be discarded if you control a Zombie.
