Sorcery
Tap target creature. Put three stun counters on it. (If a permanent with a stun counter would become untapped, remove one from it instead.)

Rulings (2)
- If the target creature is an illegal target as Riverwheel Sweep tries to resolve, it won’t resolve and none of its effects will happen. You won’t exile any cards.
- You pay all costs and follow all timing rules for cards played this way. For example, if the chosen exiled card is a land card, you may play it only during your main phase while the stack is empty.
