Does Veil of Summer count as ‘targeting’ all your creatures?
Asked by GoblinsBeatElves 4 years ago
Context- I’m building a Gargos, Vicious Watcher EDH Deck, and I need a bit of clarification on how Veil of Summer / Autumn's Veil interact with their bottom ability. Do those spells trigger that ability? Sorry if this seems like an obvious question, I’m just coming back to the game after a long break and I’m kinda fuzzy on some of these interaction rules, and I just want to make sure of how that works.

Veil of Summer and Autumn's Veil don't target. Spells and abilities only target if they use the word target (which Autumn's Veil does, but it doesn't tell you what to target, rather it says that things can't be the target). That said, you'll typically cast these spells in response to your opponent targeting one of your creatures. You're opponent's spell will still trigger Gargos, Vicious Watcher allowing it to fight a creature, and you can use your Veil to 'fizzle' their spell by making the target illegal.
