Beast Within on Predator Ooze
Asked by jstache93 13 years ago
If I use Beast Within on my own Predator Ooze, do I still get a beast token?
A spell is countered (by game rules, not counterspells) only if it does not have a legal target when it resolves. If it has multiple targets and one of them becomes illegal, it still resolves and hits the others. Just because Predator Ooze is indestructible doesn't mean things can't TRY to destroy it. The same works with Polymorph.

When the second part of an effect is dependent upon the first part of that same effect, the wording on the card will indicate it.
For example, Beast Within says "Destroy target permanent. Its controller puts a 3/3 green Best creature token onto the battlefield."
If Beast Within only produced a token if the permanent was destroyed, then it would be worded "Destroy target permanent. If that permanent was destroyed this way, its controller puts a 3/3 green Best creature token onto the battlefield."

Yep! Beast Within hits Predator Ooze and "destroys" it, but P.O. shrugs it off with indestructibility. Then you get a beast token.
