I was just wondering.
If my opponent has 2 creatures in play, which are two 2/2 creatures.
I discard two card from my hand for firestorm and deal two damage to each of his creatures, and in responce, he swords one of his creatures.
Will the spell Fizzled because it has no legal target ?

Spells only fizzle if all of their targets become illegal, not just one. If a spell has multiple targets and one becomes illegal, the spell still resolves as much as possible.

edit - Rules!



413.2a If the spell or ability specifies targets, it checks whether the targets are still legal. A target that's moved out of the zone it was in when it was targeted is illegal. Other changes to the game state may cause a target to no longer be legal; for example, its characteristics may have changed or an effect may have changed the text of the spell. If the source of an ability has left the zone it was in, its last known information is used during this process. The spell or ability is countered if all its targets, for every instance of the word "target," are now illegal. If the spell or ability is not countered, it will resolve normally, affecting only the targets that are still legal. If a target is illegal, the spell or ability can't perform any actions on it or make the target perform any actions.
