My oponent targets one of my spells with Unsettling Gathering.
I Interrupt with Final sacrifice, targetting one of my Yojimbos.
Can I do this, does my Final just fail? Or does the Gathering fail? Or both?
Thanks for your time.
Edit. My apologies. Just saw that he could target any attachment on the table (because interrupts come before targeting. :S) but the target of Unsettling must be my yojimbo.
If this is true, must he target an attachment that can legally attach to my yojimbo even if it is one of his attachments?
Edit. Ok, I understand this is a bit of a mess, do you want me to reword it? I am quite happy to do so if needed.

It depends on if your Yojimbo is a Personality or an attachment.
If you target your Yojimbo Personality, he must attach the moved attachment to your Yojimbo Personality. If he cannot attach the attachment, the effect fails.
If you target your Yojimbo follower, it must be the attachment selected to move. It can be moved to any Personality, but again, the attachment must be legal or the effect will fail.
Please remember that Final Sacrifice is played before ANY targets are chosen. So your opponent will be able to choose his targets based on the restrictions of Final Sacrifice.
