Surveil
To “surveil N” means to look at the top N cards of your library, then put any number of them into your graveyard and the rest on top of your library in any order.
If an effect allows you to look at additional cards while you surveil, those cards are included among the cards you may put into your graveyard and on top of your library in any order.
If a player is instructed to surveil 0, no surveil event occurs. Abilities that trigger whenever a player surveils won’t trigger.
Rulings
If the target creature is an illegal target as Unsubtle Mockery tries to resolve, it won't resolve and none of its effects will happen. You won't surveil.
