Hi, I have doubts about Vindicator Kentho's card effects, which reads as such:

Destroy Kentho Interrupt target card or effect targeting a card in play you control.

So does it mean, that destroying Kentho, I can interrupt ANY card? How does it read when amplified? is it:
a) Interrupt target card or interrupt an effect that is targeting a card in play you control.
OR
b)Interrupt target card that is targeting a card in play you control, or interrupt an effect that is targeting a card in play you control.

To give an example:

I play the card, blistering fire against my opponent. He destroys Kentho to interrupt my card. I know that is perfectly legal, I have no confusion about that.

If I have a Selin Duskrunner in play, the effect would allow me to deal 1 shadow damage to target hero or ally. He destroys Kentho to interrupt my card. That i have no problem with that too.

But can he destroy Kentho to interrupt my Selin Duskrunner when i play it? That is my only confusion. Thank you for taking your time reading this, I hope that some kind soul out there can clear my doubts.

The [thing] you wish to interrupt with Kentho must be targeting a card that you control that is currently in play.

Since Selin Duskrunner does not have any kind of 'come into play effect' that targets a card you control that is currently in play, then you would not be able to interrupt him at this time.

Also, even if Selin had a comes into play effect that targeted, you couldn't interrupt him, but you could interrupt the comes into play effect.

To clarify, the correct interpretation of Kentho's power is "Interrupt a card targeting a card in play you control or interrupt an effect targeting a card in play you control."
