What is a 'Target?'

What does it mean when you read “target” on a spell or ability? You have the option to select one or more references for the spell or ability to be directed at. You choose the target, whether that is to target a minion (or specific minion type), or to target a player, graveyard or even a library. The card will explain what types of targets are valid for you to choose. The target will wait until the effect resolves and checks to see if the target is still legal (they’re still available, and they match the requirements as explained by the spell or ability.) If a target isn’t legal, be that it’s no longer available to target (such as a minion fainting before a spell can target it), the spell or ability can’t reference or be directed at that card and nothing happens at that point.
