convoke and heroic

Asked by dragonchild2994 9 years ago

Akroan Crusader and Stoke the Flames if i use the convoke mechanic to tap the crusader do i get a token for targeting him through convoke? or does it never target per-say

Kravian says... Accepted answer #1

Snarky answer: only if you choose him as the target of Stoke the Flames (most likely killing him).

Actual answer: no; using a creature to convoke a spell does not "target" that creature in any way.

A spell or ability only targets if it specifically uses the word "target" in its text.

Convoke doesn't target anything. It can't trigger heroic.

What everybody else said.

Note though, that another Theros Block mechanic - Inspired - does work very well with convoke.

Bob Jr (Pain Seer) for one works pretty well with Convoke. using him and maybe like King Macar, the Gold-Cursed to Stoke one of their threats would be pretty good for you. draw an extra card and exile another of their threats on your upkeep.
