Like if you cast {Stolen Identity} on {Gravecrawler}, and in response your opponent kills the gravecrawler, making the stolen identity fizzle. The OP is asking if the spell can still cypher.
If {Stolen Identity} is cast, and targeted a creature that is in response destroyed, can the card still Cipher to a creature?
Although cypher is not out yet, and we have no completely official rules on it, I think the answer is no. If the spell fizzles, you may not cypher it. Cypher is part of the whole spell. If the spell has no legal target, it can't resolve.
So, is there any sort of consencous here?
