There are examples of MTG cards referring to a single opponent in old editions[1], digital editions[2], and Un-sets[3].

I swear I also remember some burn spells that target a creature and then also deal damage to that creature's controller. I'd guess the wording came from trying to combine that with something else.

    Yep, Chandra's Outrage, for example.

    "Chandra's Outrage deals 4 damage to target creature and 2 damage to that creature's controller."
