    If either creature is an illegal target as Knockout Maneuver resolves, the creature you control won't deal damage. If the creature you control is an illegal target, you won't put a +1/+1 counter on it even if it's still on the battlefield.

  • WotCApr 4, 2025

    You can't cast Knockout Maneuver unless you choose a creature you control and a creature an opponent controls as targets.
