You must target both a creature you control and a creature an opponent controls to cast Wild Instincts.
2015-06-22
If the creature an opponent controls is an illegal target as Wild Instincts tries to resolve, but the creature you control is still a legal target, the creature you control will get +2/+2, but the creatures won’t fight. Neither creature will deal or be dealt damage during the resolution of Wild Instincts.
