Chandra's Spitfire + Raid Bombardment Question
Deck Help forum
Posted on Jan. 24, 2011, 1:27 p.m. by Azotaka
Okay, so I'm running a R/G Aggro deck which has Chandra's Spitfire. My question is does Raid bombardment stack on Chandra's Spitfire's ability?
Raid Bombardment's wording: "Whenever a creature power 2 or less attacks, Raid Bombardment deals 1 damage to defending player."
Chandra's Spitfire's wording: "Whenever an opponent is dealt noncombat damage, Chandra's Spitfire gets +3/+0 until end of turn."
Based on Raid Bombardment's wording, shouldn't Chandra get +3/+0 for every creature attacking due to the fact that it does 1 damage for each attacking creature under 2 power making it seperate intervals of damage?
This is a HUGE question I need answered for my deck to reach full potential.
Thanks! ~Azo
Since Raid Bombardment is a separate source of damage i.e. it is the one doing the damage, I'm pretty sure card:Chandra's Spitfire will get the buffs for each attacking creature with power 2 or less.

Food for thought: Rage Forger
Same concept....and it gets ugly fast. I speak from experience

I think since there is only one chance to declare attackers, Raid Bombardment only causes Chandra's Spitfire to get +3/+0 only once, no matter how much creatures are attacking...

Not true, Raid Bombardment states, "whenever a creature with power 2 or less attacks", this means that each creature that satisfies this requirement during the declare attackers step triggers one damage. i.e. if you have 4 goblins out each with power 2 or less and a card:Chandra's Spitfire, you declare an attack with all five, Raid Bombardment triggers five separate times and each time deals 1 damage non-combat, and card:Chandra's Spitfire ability triggers for each 1 damage non-combat dealt. It is a deadly combination.

Just checked the ruleings for Raid Bombardment.
6/15/2010 If you attack with multiple creatures with power 2 or less, Raid Bombardment's ability triggers that many times.
so yes Chandra's Spitefire will trigger that many times.
