    If either target is an illegal target as Savage Swipe tries to resolve, neither creature will deal or be dealt damage.

  • WotCJun 14, 2019

    If the creature you control is an illegal target as Savage Swipe tries to resolve, no creature gets +2/+2. If that creature is a legal target but the creature you don’t control isn’t, it still gets +2/+2 until end of turn if its power is 2.

  • WotCJun 14, 2019

    The target creature you control gets +2/+2 only if its power is exactly 2 as Savage Swipe resolves. It’ll still fight if it doesn’t get +2/+2.

  • WotCJun 14, 2019

    You can’t cast Savage Swipe unless you choose both a creature you control and a creature you don’t control as targets.
