Can Swift Reckoning work with Ojutai Exemplars?rs?
Asked by Matador 8 years ago
I want to cast Swift Reckoning on an untapped creature my opponent controls. But since I have Ojutai Exemplars on the battlefield, would I be able to target the untapped target creature, trigger Ojutai Exemplars tap target creature mode, then resolve it like that?

Unfortunately no. When you want to cast a spell with a requirement, like Swift Reckoning, the target needs to meet all the requirements. The creature you want to target isn't tapped yet, so it's not a legal target for Swift Reckoning. it'd be like trying to Naturalize a Runeclaw Bear before the Liquimetal Coating turned it into an Artifact.
