    If the targeted creature is an illegal target when Fleeting Distraction tries to resolve, it won't resolve and none of its effects will happen. You won't draw a card.

    If the targeted creature is an illegal target by the time Fleeting Distraction resolves, the spell doesn't resolve. You won't draw a card.
