Question

had a rules question in regards to Marvel Champions Hero card Magik and the Aggression Event card from Dr. Strange called “Magic Attack.” Magic Attack reads “Hero Action (attack): Choose an enemy and discard up to 5 cards from the top of your deck → deal 1 damage to that enemy for each card discarded this way.” Magik reads “Play with the top card of your deck faceup.” If I use Magic Attack while Magik is in Hero Form, I choose an enemy and “discard up to 5 cards from the top of your deck”.

Other Marvel Champions cards would dictate for me to choose to discard 1-5 cards and then discard them. Magic Attack doesn’t. Am I intended to interpret Magic Attack as allowing me to sequentially choose how many I wish to discard, with Magik allowing me to see the results in real time? Let’s say I see Colossus as fourth card from the top, can I choose to stop from proceeding, say I am only discarding 3 cards, and resolve the remainder of Magic Attack’s effect?
