Odds//Ends

[Khorshed]

I'm actually preparing to sell my Magic collection. As I was sorting through the rares, I read Odds//Ends from Dissension. After having spent such an incredible amount of time (and, um, money) on this game, I still feel compelled to get an answer to my question. The part the concerns me is Odds.

"Flip a coin. If it comes up heads, counter target instant or sorcery spell. If it comes up tails, copy that spell and you may choose new targets for the copy." http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=107445&part=Odds

As I read the card, the coin flip takes place before the naming of targets. "Flip a coin. If heads, counter target spell. If tails, duplicate target spell." That is different in meaning, to me, from what I originally thought the card meant. That is, "Choose a target instant or sorcery spell. Flip a coin. If heads, counter that spell. If tails, duplicate that spell." Since I can find no rulings or errata, I thought I'd ask here. Which is correct?

im quite certain you have to choose your target before you flip the coin.  so if it comes up heads counter it, if its tails copy it.

Can any judges or mods confirm this?

When a spell has targets, they are named when casting the spell (i.e. paying the costs and putting it on the stack), not on resolution.
