Zada and Heroic Interactions

Asked by TheGrayMerchant 7 years ago

Let's say that I use Expedite, targeting Zada, Hedron Grinder while I have a Fabled Hero on the battlefield. Will the hero still get +1/+1 counter, even though the spell was copied? Thanks.

No.

Heroic only triggers when you cast a spell (that targets the heroic object).

When you copy a spell, the copy is created on the stack; it isn't cast. You only cast a copy of something if the object you're copying isn't on the stack (e.g., when you copy a card exiled with Isochron Scepter). In these cases, the effect will tell you to cast the copy.
