Rulings and custom card questions
by NYO » 15 Jun 2018, 07:31
Hi, I've got a question regarding rulings and a custom card that I've made.
I've create an instant card with the following functions:
"deals 2 damage to any target.
mills each player for 3.
spell mastery - create a 2/1 token creature."
Oracle "Deals two damage to any target. Put the top two cards of each player's library into his/her graveyard. Spell mastery - Create a 2/1 Demon token."
(Sorry I am not quite familiar with the wordings of the Oracle…)
And my script is as follows:
Types:Instant
A:SP$ DealDamage | Cost$ RRRR | ValidTgts$ Creature,Player | TgtPrompt$ Select target creature or player | NumDmg$ 2 | SpellDescription$ CARDNAME deals 2 damage to target creature or player. | SubAbility$ DBMill
SVar:DBMill:DB$Mill | NumCards$ 3 | Defined$ Player | SubAbility$ DBToken
SVar:DBToken:DB$ Token | ConditionCheckSVar$ X | ConditionSVarCompare$ GE2 | References$ X | TokenAmount$ 1 | TokenName$ Demon | TokenTypes$ Creature,Demon | TokenColors$ Red | TokenPower$ 2 | TokenToughness$ 1 | TokenImage$ r 1 1 xyz ABC | TokenOwner$ You
SVar:X:Count$ValidGraveyard Instant.YouOwn,Sorcery.YouOwn
However, if the creature that I targeted is protected, the mill part and token generation part of the card cannot be performed. (no milling and no tokens are generated).
May I ask in reallife Magic rulings.. should the rest parts of the card be performed? If yes, how can I ammend the script?
Thanks very much..

In real life magic, if all of the targets are illegal by the time the spell resolves. It fizzles and none of the actions are taken.
