Forum:Mudragon of the swamp: effect confusion

with the release of 2018 collectors tins we have now obtained the fusion monster "mudragon of the swamp"

its effect reads "your opponent cannot target this card, or monsters on the field with the same attribute as this card, with card effects. once per turn (quick effect): you can declare 1 attribute; this card becomes that attribute"

previously i had opened a query on a very similar effect situation but the answers i got were not actually helping.

my question here for this card to put it simply

if my opponent activates a card that targets say a wind attribute monster and i respond by changing my mudragons attribute to wind, would mudragon stop the effect of the targeting card or is the action of "targeting" too late to stop?

to add to this i bring up the scenario of "mask of restrict vs tribute" mask of restrict prevents tributing but if a tributes already occurred the activation of this trap will not prevent it.
