6/1/2011·wotc

If the spell is an illegal target when Fuel for the Cause tries to resolve, it won't resolve. You won't proliferate.

6/1/2011·wotc

You must be able to target another spell in order to cast Fuel for the Cause. You can't just cast it in order to proliferate, and it can't target itself.

2/4/2023·wotc

If a player or permanent has more than one kind of counter on it, and you choose for it to get additional counters, it must get one of each kind of counter it already has. You can't have it get just one kind of counter it already has and not the others.
