K I swear I know this i just can't remember
If a creature I control gets targeted can i {simic charm} to fizzle the spell. I say no because it is already targeted. Right?
114.1. (http://imtgapp.com/forum/index.php?action=imtg;area=rule;number=114.1.): Some spells and abilities require their controller to choose one or more targets for them. The targets are object(s), player(s), and/or zone(s) the spell or ability will affect. These targets are declared as part of the process of putting the spell or ability on the stack. The targets can't be changed except by another spell or ability that explicitly says it can do so.
So, the simic charm would not protect your creature.
702.11b (http://imtgapp.com/forum/index.php?action=imtg;area=rule;number=702.11b): "Hexproof" on a permanent means "This permanent can't be the target of spells or abilities your opponents control."
Maybe it would. This rule says that hexproof doesn't prevent it from being a target, it is a static ability that means it can't be a target. So maybe it would work. I don't know.
You can cast a simic charm in response to it being targeted. The initial spell will fizzle because it no longer has a legal target when it tries to resolve.
RESOLVED

It will work. Spells check for legal targets when cast and upon resolution. Once the spell tries to resolve, it will see that it no longer has any legal targets, and will fizzle.
