So, say my life is at 3, I have a Lucky Clover on the field, and my opponent has a creature on the field. So what would happen if I were to cast Swift End on the creature? Would Swift End trigger twice, leaving me at -1 life? Would Swift End only trigger once, killing the creature, and Murderous Rider would go into the graveyard because its copy wouldn't have a target? Or would I only lose 2 life and Murderous Rider would be put into exile as if I didn't have Lucky Clover in play?
I guess this doesn't necessarily have to apply to Murderous Rider, as it can apply to almost any creature with the Adventure mechanic. What would happen if I were to cast Order of Midnight's Alter Fate with a Lucky Clover in play if I only have one creature in my graveyard?
So your question is what happens when you have lucky clover, cast swift end but there is only a single creature on the battlefield?
Your copy of swift end will destory the creature and also cause you to lose 2 life. The real swift end will be placed into the graveyard with no effect due to having no legal targets.
