goryo's vengence question

Modern forum

I was wondering if Spellskite would work on goryo's vengence ?

I know its an illegal target since its not legendary or in the GY, but would it work to cause the spell to redirect and ultimately to fizzle with no legal targets?

Redirection effects can only change targets to other targets that are legal at the time of putting the redirection spell or ability on the stack.

So no. You could redirect a Naturalize onto spellskite, but you could not redirect a Terror , for instance.

Questions like this belong in the Q&A.

You could activate Spellskite 's ability targeting Goryo's Vengeance , but Spellskite 's ability will fail to change the target of Goryo's Vengeance because Spellskite itself is not a legal target for Goryo's Vengeance .
