So, can a strive target ANY target?

So, can a strive target ANY target (let's say, to trigger heroics) even if it is a target not affected by the specific strive spell?
Example:
Using Consign to Dust to target Pheres-Band Thunderhoof ...
No, they can not. Cards like Consign to Dust target only card types specified in the text of the card. So CtD can only be used to target enchantments and artifacts.

In terms of 'not being affected', note that you are able to choose something like Darksteel Citadel as a target for Consign to Dust because it is an artifact, yet it will not be destroyed as Consign to Dust resolves, as it's indestructible.

No, when you assign a target to a spell, it must be a valid target.
