Overview

If Spit Flame (instant) resolves before Savage Stomp and deals lethal damage to Regisaur Alpha, Regisaur Alpha will be an illegal target for Savage Stomp when it tries to resolve and you will not put the +1/+1 counter on it (see ). If Regisaur survives Spit Flame, Savage Stomp resolves normally: put a +1/+1 counter on Regisaur, then Regisaur fights the chosen opponent creature. The Regisaur ETB token and haste rules are governed by and .

Step 1

Spit Flame (top of stack) resolves first and deals 4 damage to its target creature. If that target is Regisaur Alpha and 4 damage is lethal (taking into account damage already marked and any damage prevention/indestructible), Regisaur is put into its owner’s graveyard as a result of lethal damage (it is no longer on the battlefield) .

Step 2

After Spit Flame finishes resolving, the next object on the stack is Savage Stomp. When Savage Stomp tries to resolve, the game checks whether its chosen targets are still legal.

Step 3

If Regisaur Alpha is no longer on the battlefield (illegal as the 'target creature you control'), the first effect of Savage Stomp — putting a +1/+1 counter on that target — will not happen because the target is illegal .

Step 4

Because the spell’s second clause says “Then that creature fights target creature you don't control,” and there is no longer “that creature” on the battlefield to perform the fight, the fight does not occur.

Step 5

If instead Regisaur survived Spit Flame (was not dealt lethal damage), Savage Stomp resolves fully: you put a +1/+1 counter on Regisaur, then Regisaur fights the chosen opposing creature (each deals damage equal to its power to the other).

Resolution

If Spit Flame on the stack resolves first and kills Regisaur Alpha, Savage Stomp (still on the stack) will try to resolve but its first effect — “Put a +1/+1 counter on target creature you control” — won’t happen because that target is now an illegal target . Because the spell’s second effect (“Then that creature fights target creature you don't control.”) refers to the creature that would have received the counter, it also won’t do anything if the first target no longer exists. If instead Regisaur survives Spit Flame, Savage Stomp resolves normally and the fight happens.
