If Wiraqocha Rasca is tributed by Icarus Attack after targeting cards, does the opponent still discard 3 cards?!
Wiraqocha Rasca activates and targets 3 of your cards, then Icarus Attack is chained and tributes Rasca.
The discard is based on the number of cards actually returned to the Deck. If Rasca is no longer returned, the opponent discards fewer cards accordingly.
Do Tokens returned by Wiraqocha Rasca count toward the discard?!
Wiraqocha Rasca targets Tokens to return to the Deck.
No. Tokens disappear instead of being returned to the Deck, so they do not count toward the number of cards the opponent discards.
