If all of the spell's targets are illegal when the spell tries to resolve, it won't resolve and none of its effects will happen. Strive abilities affect only what you pay.

The mana cost and mana value of strive spells don't change no matter how many targets they have. You can't choose the same target more than once for a single strive spell. It's legal to cast such a spell with no targets, although this is rarely a good idea. You choose how many targets each spell with a strive ability has and what those targets are as you cast it. However, if Twinflame creates multiple tokens copying a single creature due to a replacement effect (like the one Doubling Season creates), you'll exile each of them. If another creature becomes or enters the battlefield as a copy of the token, that creature will have haste, but you won't exile it. If any of them have a triggered ability that triggers whenever a creature enters the battlefield, they'll trigger for one another. The tokens see each other enter the battlefield. Any “as enters the battlefield” or “ enters the battlefield with” abilities of the copied creature will also work. If the copied creature is a token, the token created by Twinflame copies the original characteristics of that token as stated by the effect that put that token onto the battlefield.Īny enters-the-battlefield abilities of the copied creature will trigger when the token enters the battlefield. If the copied creature is copying something else (for example, if the copied creature is a Clone), then the token enters the battlefield as whatever that creature copied. If the copied creature has in its mana cost, X is considered to be 0.

It doesn't copy whether that creature is tapped or untapped, whether it has any counters on it or Auras and Equipment attached to it, or any non-copy effects that have changed its power, toughness, types, color, and so on. The tokens copy exactly what was printed on the original creature and nothing else (unless that permanent is copying something else or is a token see below).
