If the copied spell requires a target and there are no legal targets, then the copy has the same target (which should be illegal) as the original. [Jordan 2001/10/14]
The copy is not "played" so it will not trigger anything that triggers on a spell being played. [Odyssey FAQ 2001/10/04]
You are not required to choose new targets. If you do choose, then the targets must be legal. If you don't change them, the spell is placed on the stack whether or not the targets are legal.

If the target creature is not in play (or is not a creature) at the time the damage would be redirected, then the damage goes on this card. [Planeshift FAQ 2001/01/26]
The ability applies to the next time damage is dealt. Normally this means damage from one source at one time, but during combat it is possible for multiple sources to damage the Treefolk at one time, in which case damage from all of those sources is redirected. [DeLaney 2001/02/05]

Mishra's Factory

Cost Cost=None
Expansion AQ(U3+C1)/4(U)
Text(4th+errata):{Tap}: Add one colorless mana to your mana pool. ; {Tap}: Target Assembly-Worker gets +1/+1 until end of turn. ; {1}: Until end of turn, ~this~ becomes a 2/2 Assembly-Worker artifact creature. It's still a land. [Oracle 2001/08/24]
When it is an Assembly-Worker, it is still a land and retains all of its other abilities. [Duelist Magazine #2, Page 14]
When animated into an Assembly-Worker, it has creature type Assembly-Worker. [D'Angelo 2001/08/31]
The card name does not change. It remains "Mishra's Factory". [Jordan 2003/06/14]
The Assembly-Worker is an artifact creature only until the end of the turn, and then any Enchant Creature or Enchant Artifact spells on it are put into the graveyard. [Duelist Magazine #2, Page 15]
It can attack on the turn an Assembly-Worker is created, but it may not attack on the turn the land itself is brought into play. See Rule G.37.3. [Duelist Magazine #2, Page 15]
Any counters on the Assembly-Worker remain even if the counters stop being meaningful when it de-animates. [D'Angelo 1998/02/03]
An Assembly-Worker is considered to have a zero mana cost. [Duelist Magazine #5, Page 14]
Tapping a land for something other than mana is not a mana ability. [D'Angelo 1999/10/01]
The ability to turn it into an Assembly-Worker can be used while it is an Assembly-Worker and will reset the initial power/toughness to 2/2, but this will not override temporary effects such as Sorceress Queen. [D'Angelo 1998/05/28]
When it is an Assembly-Worker, it is an artifact and can therefore be affected by spells and abilities that affect artifacts, such as Disenchant. [WotC Rules Team 1995/02/09]
If another player takes control of this card while it is an Assembly-Worker, using Aladdin for example, that player keeps control until the control effect ends. They do not lose control just because the card stops being an Assembly-Worker. [WotC Rules Team 1995/02/09] Note that enchantments which steal cards (such as Control Magic and Steal Artifact) do go to the graveyard if the permanent they enchant is no longer valid.
If an Assembly-Worker is changed to another land type by something like Phantasmal Terrain, it will stay a 2/2 artifact creature and keep the creature type "Assembly-Worker" (until end of turn), but it will change its land type as directed. [Jordan 2003/06/14]
Extended tournaments (see Rule D.15) have banned this card since 1999/10/01.
