1) Can Incremental Loss be used in just 2 creatures, i mean, 1st target is A , 2nd target is B , and third target is A?

2) What if one of the targets of incremental loss disappears via Momentary Blink ? Will the other 2 target still gets their -1/-1 counters?

Incremental Blight ? No, it requires 3 distinct targets. If you cannot choose three different targets, you cannot play the spell.

Yes. A spell resolves so long as at least one legal target remains; it is only countered if all of its targets are illegal. The spell does as much as possible to the remaining targets.

No. They must be three different creatures.

Yes. Spells are only countered if all of their targets have become illegal. If at least one of the targets is still legal, the spell will still resolve and do as much as it can with the remaining legal target(s).

And so people say to me, "How do I know if a word is real?" You know, anyone who's read a children's book knows that love makes things real. If you love a word, use it! That makes it real. Being in the dictionary is an artificial distinction; it doesn't make the word any more real than any other word. If you love a word, it becomes real.
