Does Phyrexian Infiltrator’s ability fizzle if it dies?

Asked by ptownazkikr 5 years ago

I know that if the creature Phyrexian Infiltrator is targeting dies then the ability will fizzle, but what happens if the infiltrator is killed in response? Do I still get the targeted creature or must the infiltrator be on the battlefield to be exchanged?

There won't be any exchange. There's a special rule about exchanges that says if you're somehow unable to make the complete exchange (usually because one or more of the objects went missing) then you don't make any exchange at all.
