wotc4 Oct 2004
Intervene can only target a spell that is currently targeting a creature.
wotc4 Oct 2004
If a spell is modal, use the target(s) of the current mode only for this check. Targets for the other modes are never selected.
wotc4 Oct 2004
If the spell’s target leaves the battlefield before this spell resolves, Intervene won’t resolve since it no longer targets a spell that targets a creature.
wotc4 Oct 2004
It means “targeting at least one creature” not “exactly one creature”.
