If Substitoad has no valid targets in the Deck, can you still activate it and pay the Tribute cost?!
You have Substitoad and used Soul Exchange to Tribute an opponent's monster.
No. It is an illegal activation if there are no valid targets, so you cannot pay the cost.
Can you use Soul Exchange to pay the tribute cost for Substitoad's effect?!
You activate Substitoad and want to tribute an opponent's monster using Soul Exchange.
Yes. Soul Exchange allows using the opponent's monster for any tribute, including costs.
