Return the Favor dual mode doesn't work
I cast Return the Favor selecting both modes. The first mode targetted a trigger from 'At knifepoint' (creating a mercenary token). The second mode was intended to target the opponent's 'Neutralize the guards' - the only legal target on the stack. The second mode never allowed me to select a target and never went through, so I created a 1/1 to have it wiped by the spell I was planning to redirect and ended up getting boardwiped instead of wiping my opponent, thus losing the draft match.

Neutralize the Guards says "target opponent", and you are only trying to change the target of the spell, not its controller. So the only legal target is the spell's controller's opponent: you. So nothing could be changed.
