Alrighty, I tried asking a question and after a day of no replies... decided to just ask it directly;; (I'm assuming you are familiar with rulings)

For the card "Jackknife Gift", would it be correct to assume that it's only playable if there is a monsters with "Jackknife" already in the drop zone before you pay the cost for it?

A scenario I'm trying to avoid having an arguement over is: The opponent has no monsters with "Jackknife" in the drop zone. Opponent plays Jackknife Gift, pays the cost, the gauge used to pay for the cost of Jackknife Gift was a "Jackknife" monster which is now in the drop zone. Jackknife Gift now resolves normally(?)

Or if the opponent can't even play the card in the first place, since there was no valid target before playing Jackknife Gift? Or the card is played, then the opponent fails to put a "Jackknife" card from the gauge into the drop zone, and the Jackknife Gift fizzles?
