Title: Heroic and target/ global
Post by: ibtrickey on February 16, 2014, 08:28:57 PM
So if a card has heroic it has to be the "target"? So cards that say target do it but if it does not then it is a no go?

Yep, to trigger heroic a card must say "target."

114.1a An instant or sorcery spell is targeted if its spell ability identifies something it will affect by using the phrase "target [something]," where the "something" is a phrase that describes an object, player, or zone. The target(s) are chosen as the spell is cast; see rule 601.2c. (If an activated or triggered ability of an instant or sorcery uses the word target, that ability is targeted, but the spell is not.)

I win this time :P

Correct: A card must say "target" on it to target something.

Edit: 17 seconds! :P

Yes. It MUST say "Target". If it doesn't, Heroic does NOT trigger. Also, YOU must target it, if your opponent targets it, it does not trigger


Caps for emphasis :p

Really? I thought that auras targeted as well even though they don't say target, it says "enchant creature"

Auras do target, but that is a specific property of auras, which are an exception to the rule

In order to Enchant it, you must Target it. It's like a pre requisite
