The card text reads, "Return a creature you control to its owner's hand, then destroy all creatures." In game play, the "destroy all creatures" can occur without the first condition met. I'm curious as to why this is the case. The text does not give the player an option to return a creature, instead it creates a condition: return, THEN destroy. If a creature can't be returned to the hand, how can the second part of the condition be met? Unless I'm missing something. Any clarification would be a big help. Thanks in advance!
