I have been watching Pro Tour Amonkhet lately and in a feature match (Chris Fennell vs. Eric Froehlich) one player played Cartouche of Strength's ETB trigger as though they did not have a choice to go back on their target during resolution.
I feel like this gives additional credit to the idea of phasing out the "you may" wording for targeted effects you would usually commit to e. g. targeted removal on an ETB trigger.
It's the wording that has been used up until now, but I think it has a functionality that is a little bugged. You must choose a target and choose whether to destroy it on resolution.
I'm trying something new that works more consistently with how one might expect: You choose whether to target an enchantment or not as the ability goes on the stack. If you do, it gets destroyed on resolution. No taksies-backsies.
In the past I have avoided this wording simply because it was unusual, but thanks to planeswalkers we now see it more often and it might be worth turning it into the new standard.
Hee. Reminds me of Mogg War Marshal. I guess the extra point of power makes up for needing to pay to keep this every turn rather than just one.
I think "you may destroy target enchantment" would be more normal than "destroy up to one target enchantment", wouldn't it?

I have since come to oppose giving players the ability to mana screw themselves by choice
