Dominion is screwing up my parsing of Magic cards

So lately I sort of left Dominion for Magic (easier to find sufficient people to play with).

The problem is, you parse the cards differently. I was playing Beckon Apparition the other day in a sealed, and I tried to play it first turn when there were no cards in any graveyard. And the judge was like. "Nope, no legal target, can't resolve"

And all I could think was "but it doesn't say "if you do."" Shouldn't I do as much of the card text as I can?

TL;DR I will never escape Dominion.

I've been really comfortable with The Spoils' parsing. The card text is divided into a "Cost" part and an "Effect" part. Most card games have this, but it's not always as explicitly stated.
