    If the target creature is an illegal target as Scriv's last ability tries to resolve, it won't resolve and none of its effects will happen. The Contract token won't be created.

  • WotCMar 20, 2026

    In the rare case that the target creature is a legal target as Scriv's first ability resolves but the target creature can't legally be enchanted by the Contract token, the token won't be created at all.
