Jeskai Revelation bug - Other actions fail to resolve when targets are removed.
I targeted two of my opponent's creatures with bounce and damage action. In response, my opponent cast a spell that destroyed both of my targets.
According to the rules of Magic: The Gathering, since the other abilities of Jeskai Revelation (create two Monk tokens, gain 4 life, and draw 2 cards) do not have targets, they should have resolved successfully.
Instead, the entire spell was countered.
This behavior seems to be a bug, as it does not follow the official rules for resolving a spell with multiple modes.
Thank you for your time and assistance in looking into this.

According to the rules, if a spell or ability with targets loses all its targets, it fizzles, and NONE of its effects happen.
608. Resolving Spells and Abilities

608.2b If the spell or ability specifies targets, it checks whether the targets are still legal.[...] If all its targets, for every instance of the word “target,” are now illegal, the spell or ability doesn’t resolve. It’s removed from the stack and, if it’s a spell, put into its owner’s graveyard. [...]
