How does Witchbane Orb work with these two cards(Blood Artist and Geralf)?

Whoa, that coding got messy. Also, autocarding is your friend: [ c ]Witchbane Orb[ /c ] becomes Witchbane Orb  (remove the spaces in the brackets to get this result) Edit - Whoops, misread the cards in question. D'oh! Anyway, if your opponent has hexproof, you can't target him with either Geralf's Messenger  or Blood Artist  's triggered abilities. In a multiplayer game, you would be forced to choose a different opponent. If there are no legal targets for either of these abilities, then they'll end up doing nothing. But, as Enigma pointed out, Blood Artist still has a legal target -- yourself.

If your opponent has a Witchbane Orb , you wouldn't be able to target them with the triggered abilities of Blood Artist or Geralf's Messenger , or target them with any abilities, triggered, activated, or otherwise.

Yes, I killed your BBEG with his own lair:
Show
Setting: Tomb with a perilous bridge and cliff 100 feet above a lava pit.
Mummy pops out of his sarcophagus, initiative:
Felix, Half-Elf Artificer: Twin Strike with crossbow.
Trump (ala Donald), Eladrin Warlord: Charges mummy with Opening Shove, pushing off the cliff. Mummy fails saving throw, and falls into pit.
Sanshiro (ala Japanese "superhero" Segata), Minotaur Barbarian: Strength check to lift sarcophagus and carry to cliff. Free action, drop sarcophagus into square above mummy. Sarcophagus drops on mummy, shoving him further down into lava.
Mummy: proceeds to make a series of horrible athletics checks to swim and climb cliff. Dies a horrible death with lava permeating every orifice.
Entire Party: Watches on in delight, faces alit with the glow of lava and flaming undead.

I soap myself up, and turn up the hot water in the shower, so my sweat mixes with the soap, slickening my skin: +5 to grapple
I use my own legs as a shield since only upper-body hits matter: +5 defense
I use my teammates bodies to construct a vehicle for myself, and dual-wield their weapons because as long as I win, we all win: +10 attack, +10 defense
I completely ignore the enemy, their attacks, the devastating damage they are dealing to me and my team, and strike directly for their base, completely obliterating them, their way of life, and any chance they had at survival as a species: WIN

if your opponent has Witchbane Orb out Blood Artist 's and Geralf's Messenger 's lifeloss ability does not work (you are forced to target yourself with Blood Artist netting you 0 life, and Geralfs ability will fizzle)

By "fizzle", he means it is simply removed from the stack rather than countered. 603.3d The remainder of the process for putting a triggered ability on the stack is identical to the process for casting a spell listed in rules 601.2c–d. If a choice is required when the triggered ability goes on the stack but no legal choices can be made for it, or if a rule or a continuous effect otherwise makes the ability illegal, the ability is simply removed from the stack.
