so me and my boy are playing a game and he got ulamog out and he wanted to exile my creature and the swiftfoot boots (gives hexproof) that were attached to it. now my question is can he target my creature that has the swiftfoots on with the boots, or can he only target the boots and then something else. wouldn't he have to choose both targets at same time to exile and my creature would be safe?
thanks for the help
Your creature has hexproof, so it cannot be chosen as the target of any spell or ability he controls. At best, he can exile your Swiftfoot Boots and some other permanent.
I have a question to add to this, about ulamog, the ceaseless hunger's exile... How does the cast effect go on the stack? Can that ability be responded to? Specifically, can I cast ulamog and exile my opponents only two islands so they can't cast a counter spell?

Read the cards, guys. You might be supposed how many times your questions can be answered with a careful re-read. If that doesn't work, think about it! Wizards doesn't want to break the game, so of course you can't do something like use omniscience to play a fireball for 9,000 damage.
Ulamog's ability is a triggered ability that triggers when the player who casts Ulamog finishes the process of casting it. It goes onto the stack right before players would get priority, which means it's on the stack above Ulamog. Players get priority to respond to it, as they do with any triggered ability. If they have something that can counter the ability directly (Stifle, Summary Dismissal) or interact with the targeted permanents in some way (e.g. Ghostly Flicker) they can take that action at this time. In your example, they could tap the targeted lands to float mana in response to the ability, or even just cast Counterspell at Ulamog in response to everything (although countering Ulamog won't stop its triggered ability from resolving.)
Edit, re: HellboundKsu: The triggered ability is on cast, not on ETB.
Ok, thanks. However, hellbound, you misunderstood Ulamogs effect. It's not and EBT trigger, it's a cast trigger. Significant difference.
