Multiples of Ib Halfheart, Goblin Tactician interaction?
Asked by yinnyyxd 9 years ago
Do I do 8 damages if I have two Ib Halfheart, Goblin Tactician on the field?

That would probably work if he wasn't Legendary.. Therefore, I think it would require some AEther Vial -type shenanagans for that sort of thing to work even once..

However, that is not exactly true. While they trigger separately, you cannot pay the cost (sacrificing the creature) for both triggers. Also, Ib Halfheart, Goblin Tactician is legendary so outside of some Sakashima the Impostor or Mirror Gallery shenanigans, it is very hard to do have more than 1 on the field.
However, lets ignore the legendary thing. For example:
1/ You attack with Raging Goblin and it is blocked by Giant Spider . You have 2 Ib Halfheart, Goblin Tactician on the field.
2/ Both Ib Halfheart, Goblin Tactician trigger and are put on the stack.
3/ You sacrifice the goblin to satisfy the cost of the first trigger (Note: It is not a may ability, so you are obliged to do so.)
4/ The ability resolves and you deal 4 damage to Giant Spider , killing it in the process.
5/ The second trigger goes off, but there is no longer a creature to sacrifice. The part that says "If you do" in the text is put in there for exactly that reason. The ability will fizzle.
tl;dr - You will only get 4 damage per goblin, even with 2 Ib Halfheart, Goblin Tactician .

Doesn't matter if it's Legendary or not. My question was asking if there was multiples of him out on the field

They mentioned it being legendary because there are a lot of instances where people don't realize something won't work because one of the cards involved is legendary.
