Signature Slam

Instant

Put a +1/+1 counter on target creature you control, then each modified creature you control deals damage equal to its power to target creature you don't control. (Equipment, Auras you control, and counters are modifications.)

A lone dinosaur in gorilla territory doesn't stand a chance.

Rulings

If the creature you control is an illegal target as Signature Slam tries to resolve but the creature you don't control is still a legal target, each modified creature you control (which may include the target creature you control if it's still on the battlefield) will still deal damage equal to its power to the creature you don't control.

If the creature you don't control is an illegal target as Signature Slam tries to resolve but the creature you control is a legal target, you'll still put a +1/+1 counter on the target creature you control.
