If an effect instructs you to choose a card name, you may choose the alternative Omen name. Consider only the alternative characteristics to determine whether that is an appropriate name to choose.
Marang River Regent // Coil and Catch
Casting a card as an Omen isn’t casting it for an alternative cost. Effects that allow you to cast a spell for an alternative cost or without paying its mana cost may allow you to apply those to the Omen.
If an Omen spell has one or more targets and all of those targets are illegal when the spell tries to resolve, it won’t resolve. None of its effects will happen, and it will be put into its owner’s graveyard. It won’t be shuffled into its owner’s library.
