Beast Within

{2}{G} · Instant

Destroy target permanent. Its controller creates a 3/3 green Beast creature token.

Rulings (1)

Mar 19, 2021 · If the target permanent is an illegal target by the time Beast Within tries to resolve, the spell won't resolve. No player creates a Beast token. If the target is legal but not destroyed (most likely because it has indestructible), its controller does create a Beast token.
