If either target is an illegal target as Savage Swipe tries to resolve, neither creature will deal or be dealt damage.
wotc14 Jun 2019
You can’t cast Savage Swipe unless you choose both a creature you control and a creature you don’t control as targets.
wotc14 Jun 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.
wotc14 Jun 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.
