How it works : Transmogrifying Wand

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    If the target creature is an illegal target by the time Transmogrifying Wand’s ability tries to resolve, the ability doesn’t resolve. No player creates an Ox token.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If the target creature is a legal target but can’t be destroyed, most likely because it has indestructible, its controller gets an Ox token and gets to keep that creature.
