Hammerhand

[jonrox3]

Im feeling iffy on this, but when you play {hammerhand} can you target the creature that you enchant? This would be for heroic btw.

[TheRagingMage]

Yes, the card doesn't have any restrictions on the target other than "creature," so you can target any creature, even the enchanted one.

[jonrox3]

Oh, okay thanks

[Subiskier]

Does heroic not trigger from auras? Or the enter the battlefield trigger?

[Remillo]

Heroic ony triggers when a Spell is cast that targets the creature.  Triggered abilities, like the 'can't block' on hammerhand, are not spells.

[Gorzo]

Remillo has it correct.

In addition, you can only trigger heroic one time per spell anyways, so even a spell that actually does target the same target multiple times as a single spell (a rare occasion, like with {Common Bond}), you will still only get one heroic trigger.

Looks like I've been using {common bond} incorrectly....

However a good point to be raised, {Hammerhand} could be used to target 2 seperate heroic creatures, one to enchant, one that can't block. Therefore, buffing 2 of your creatures at no expense to yourself. (Cuz you don't need to worry about blocking on your turn right?)
Also, if you have Constellation creatures in play, all in all. I can see Hammerhand having many fine uses.

It will only trigger heroic for the creature it enchants. The can't block clause is a triggered ability and not a spell so it will not trigger a heroic ability.

Thank you for that. Thought it was a "when you cast" not an "enter battlefield" sorry about that.

Even if it were a Cast Trigger, it's still just that, a Trigger.  An Ability, not a spell.

Don't worry, that one trips up a LOT of people it's all about the wording of heroic.
  {Akroan Skyguard}
"Whenever you cast a spell that targets..."
Even if you targeted Skyguard with {Common Bond} twice, you still only cast {Common Bond} once.

[jonrox3]

Wait so {coordinated assault} only gets one creature?

[jonrox3]

Ohhh okay, I understand it now. Thanks
