Huh?
What do you mean by "category", and can you give an example? I'm afraid
I, for one, can't understand the question as currently worded.
> Is this mean Decimate or entwine spells can also target same object?
Well, Decimate can now target the same thing more than once, provided it
has more than one permanent type. For example, you can choose an
artifact creature as both the artifact and the creature (but not the
enchantment or the land, of course).
The exact rule is that if a spell or ability uses the word "target" more
than once, you can choose the same thing for more than one of those
targets, provided it fits all the targeting criteria. For example, a
card that said "Destroy target artifact, target creature and target
land" can use an animated Stalking Stones for all three targets, which
would not have been possible prior to this rule change. On the other
hand, "Destroy two target creatures" could not use one creature as both
targets - that type of wording still requires two distinct targets.
Presumably those cards worded along the lines of "Destroy target
creature and return another target creature to its owner's hand" would
also still require two targets due to the word "another".
> Or is this rule valid only for splice?
The new rule about targets - if that is indeed the rule you have in mind
- was probably created to make Splice work better, but it applies
whether Splice is involved or not.
