    If an opponent has any legal permanents to target, you must target one of them.

    If Sylvan Primordial’s enters-the-battlefield ability resolves but one of the target noncreature permanents isn’t destroyed (perhaps because it has indestructible or it regenerated), it won’t count toward the number of Forest cards you can put onto the battlefield.

    You search and shuffle your library only once.
