The original Flagbearer text tried to constrain the target selection for
  spells and abilities that could target them, but it was unclear whether
  that constraint also affected spells and abilities that change targets.
  Nowadays, the wording is clearer:

    Standard Bearer  {1}{W}  Creature - Human Flagbearer  1/1 
  / Whenever a spell or ability an opponent controls is put onto the
    stack, if that spell or ability could target a Flagbearer on the
    battlefield but doesn't, that opponent changes one of its targets
    to a Flagbearer.

  This triggers once each time a spell or ability is played or copied.
