Gameplay

Sorcery

You may pay {2}{W}{W} rather than pay this spell's mana cost. If the {2}{W}{W} cost was paid, an opponent chooses up to two nonland permanents they control and returns them to their owner's hand. Destroy all nonland permanents.

The mana value of a spell on the stack is determined by its mana cost, not any alternative costs you used to pay for it.

2021-04-16wotc

If you choose to pay one alternative cost, you can’t pay any other alternative costs. For example, if an effect lets you cast a “Mastery” spell “without paying its mana cost,” you can’t also choose to pay its given alternative cost.

In a multiplayer game, you choose which opponent takes the prescribed action as the spell resolves.
