Can I "Blood Rush" and activate a "Heroic" ability?
Asked by bearstein12 10 years ago
I attack with Akroan Crusader and then could I "Blood Rush" with Ghor-Clan Rampager setting off the Heroic 1/1 red soldier ability and adding +4/+4 with trample?

No, you cannot. Heroic only triggers off spells. Bloodrush is an ability (one that works from hand, like cycling, but still an ability) and therefore does not trigger heroic. Your Akroan Crusader will only get +4/+4 and trample.

oh, sorry about that! I completely read over the word "spell" in the heroic text xD
I read it as: "Whenever you target..." Sorry!

Please remember to select an answer when your question has been sufficiently addressed.
Also, heroic is a triggered ability. Triggered abilities trigger; they aren't activated.

@Epochalyptik did you mean heroic? because bloodrush is an activated ability, is it not?

Akroan Crusader
Ghor-Clan Rampager
Yes, you can. The bloodrush effect says "target attacking creature", therefore targetting your Akroan Crusader , giving +4/+4, trample, and spawning a 1/1 token w/ haste.
