Do you still get gold when someone flashes your Blood Money or Wages of Pain target?

Ruling: Blood Money will NOT give gold if the target becomes illegal (leaves the battlefield). Wages of Pain WILL still give the gold token even if the target becomes illegal.

Sequence:

• When a spell is played, its target is locked when placed on the chain
• If the target leaves the battlefield before resolution, it becomes illegal
• The spell still attempts to resolve (does not fizzle entirely)
• Instructions that cannot be followed are ignored
• Instructions that don't reference target information are still executed

Nuances:

• Blood Money checks information about the target ("if it was an enemy unit" / "if it was a friendly unit"), which returns null when the target is illegal, causing those conditional instructions to be ignored
• Wages of Pain's gold token generation is a separate instruction after a full stop that doesn't reference target information, so it executes even when the damage cannot be dealt
• The presence of a full stop creates independent instructions, but only those that don't require checking information about illegal targets will execute
