Card name “Vilemaw” appears in rule 359.3.e.6.
359.3.e.6. Instructions that can't be followed because of illegal targets, or because they reference information that is unavailable, are considered Ignored. Instructions that can't be followed for any other reason are Negated. Example: A player plays Ride the Wind choosing to move their unit at Vilemaw's Lair to base. Base is a legal move destination for Ride the Wind, but on resolution of Ride the Wind's effect, the move instruction will be negated because Vilemaw's restriction makes the instruction impossible. Example: A player plays Hidden Blade targeting a unit at a battlefield. In reaction to Hidden Blade, the unit's controller plays Flash, moving it to base. Hidden Blade's instruction "Kill a unit." will be ignored on resolution of the spell.
