Modular issue
Today during my Remix Draft: Artifacts, I experienced an issue that led me to lose the game. Since the modular ability was very relevant in my deck and appeared several times in my game, the issue that forces me to target my opponent's creatures with the modular ability should I have none of my own was very frustrating. (See below. As you can see, there is no option to not put the counters on my opponent's creatures.) I hope you can help.

Putting the counters on the target is a choice made on resolution. You can decline to do that. On resolution. Putting the trigger on the stack and picking the target, however, is mandatory. That is true for ALL "may" abilities".
702.43a Modular represents both a static ability and a triggered ability. “Modular N” means “This
permanent enters with N +1/+1 counters on it” and “When this permanent is put into a
graveyard from the battlefield, you may put a +1/+1 counter on target artifact creature for each
+1/+1 counter on this permanent.”
