Official rulings

  1. If the spell’s target leaves the battlefield before this spell resolves, Intervene won’t resolve since it no longer targets a spell that targets a creature. (2004-10-04)
  2. If a spell is modal, use the target(s) of the current mode only for this check. Targets for the other modes are never selected. (2004-10-04)
  3. It means “targeting at least one creature” not “exactly one creature”. (2004-10-04)
  4. Intervene can only target a spell that is currently targeting a creature. (2004-10-04)
