You can't cast this card if there are no creatures on the battlefield. If you are the only one with creatures, then you are forced to target one of those.
So maybe go with "~ deals X damage to up to one target creature..." instead?
added "up to one" as per @Tahazzar's suggestion
Going by Vengeful Rebirth and Volcanic Vision, this seems somewhat weakish by comparison. Also, since it doesn't exile itself, you can keep recurring two of these with each other. I guess that does make it more powerful, but I don't think that's something you want to encourage. It's a pretty boring play pattern.
Ugh, "up to one" is so ugly :(
I note the rebirth fix to this was to allow it to target a player which you can almost always do.
And yeah, this wants to self-exile and could maybe be a little cheaper.
I can see how that would fix it, but I don't want this to target players. How about "You may have..."?
I will do the self-exile thing though, that's reasonable.
