If the targeted spell is an illegal target by the time Spell Contortion resolves, Spell Contortion doesn't resolve. You won't draw any cards.

3/1/2010·wotc

If Spell Contortion resolves, you draw a card for each time Spell Contortion was kicked, regardless of whether the targeted spell's controller pays {2} or whether the targeted spell is countered this way.

11/8/2024·wotc

If a card or token enters as a copy of a permanent, the new permanent isn't kicked, even if the original was.
