How it works : Surge of Righteousness
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

If Surge of Righteousness resolves but the creature isn’t destroyed (perhaps because it regenerated or it has indestructible), you’ll still gain 2 life.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
However, if the creature becomes an illegal target before Surge of Righteousness resolves, it won’t resolve and none of its effects will happen. You won’t gain life.
