Cripple target creature. (Tap that creature. The next time it is dealt damage or targeted by a spell or ability this turn, destroy it.)
Cripple target creature.
Cripple target creature. "Pain. Agony. Torment. There remain those who do not know them. Unacceptable!"
A custom card of mine with the keyword action "cripple." I'm unsure if it is able to target the same creature twice and kill it because of cripple effects as worded. Thoughts?
Targeting happens as you put the spell on the stack, and the "The next time it is dealt damage or targeted by a spell or ability this turn, destroy it" trigger(?) isn't applied to the target until the spell resolves, so it could not destroy a creature simply by naming it as a target twice. IIRC, as the card is worded, a single creature could be nominated as the target for all three effects, look at Seeds of Strength for reference.
Also of note is that the reminder text doesn't quite reflect the actual equivalent rules text if it is meant to set up a delayed trigger, although that may be an intentional liberty on your part. A more accurate version would be the following:
Cripple target creature. (Tap that creature. When it becomes the target of a spell or ability or is dealt damage for the next time this turn, destroy it.)
Also, if it's a triggered ability, if the crippled creature is crippled three times and becomes the target of one spell, each of the triggers will trigger once, requiring three triggered ability counters to save the creature. If it's a replacement effect, though, only one replacement effect will get to apply per spell.
