Answer

Ruling: Targets are declared on cast. If targets become illegal before resolution (e.g., due to a reactive buff spell), you choose a valid subset of the original targets and resolve with those.

Sequence:

  • Declare targets when casting the spell
  • If target legality changes before resolution, select a valid subset from the originally declared targets
  • Resolve the spell with the valid targets

Nuances:

  • Riftbound uses a "do as much as you can" system alongside legal targeting
  • Cards like Foxfire (which can target multiple units) are still being refined by developers for exact targeting processes when legality changes
