What happens if a mutate target becomes a creature?

Asked by Delphen7 1 year ago

Say I control a nonhuman. I cast Porcuparrot for it's mutate cost targeting it. My opponent casts Blades of Velis Vel in response.

What happens to the Porcuparrot spell?

You will get a Porcuparrot creature on the battlefield. Mutating creature spells can only target non-human creatures with the same owner as the player casting the spell. If the target of a mutating creature spell becomes illegal, it will continue resolving as a creature spell instead of mutating onto the original target.
