Flying, lifelink At the beginning of your second main phase, if you gained 2 or more life this turn, this creature becomes prepared. (While it's prepared, you may cast a copy of its spell. Doing so unprepares it.) // Target player draws two cards and loses 2 life.

Rulings (16)

If a prepare spell with one or more targets has no legal targets when it tries to resolve, it won't resolve and none of its effects will happen. Since the spell was cast, the associated permanent will still not be prepared.

While copies of spells in zones other than the stack cease to exist when state-based actions are checked, this does not apply to copies of prepare spells in exile that were created as a creature became prepared.

If an effect causes a creature to become unprepared, a prepared creature stops being prepared and the associated copy of its prepare spell in exile ceases to exist. If it wasn't prepared at that time, nothing happens.
