Rulings

(5/3/2019)
You choose the target planeswalkers to destroy as you cast The Elderspell, but you don't choose a planeswalker to receive loyalty counters until The Elderspell is resolving.
(5/3/2019)
You can cast The Elderspell without controlling any planeswalkers. The target planeswalkers will still be destroyed. You can also cast it without targeting any planeswalkers if you really want to do so.
