Can Yusri's free spells ability trigger from multiple attack steps?
Asked by Gontilordofmtg 5 years ago
The new modern horizons 2 preview card, Yusri, Fortune's Flame was recently spoiled and I need clarification on the card. He says that if you win 5 flips using his coinflip ability, you may cast spells for free, but do you have to win all 5 flips off of one attack trigger, or can it be multiple? Do you simply have to win 5 coinflips with his ability throughout the course of the game, or do you have to win all these flips in the course of a turn? Please help.

Comprehensive rules reference:
603.12. A resolving spell or ability may allow or instruct a player to take an action and create a triggered ability that triggers “when [a player] [does or doesn’t]” take that action or “when [something happens] this way.” These reflexive triggered abilities follow the rules for delayed triggered abilities (see rule 603.7), except that they’re checked immediately after being created and trigger based on whether the trigger event or events occurred earlier during the resolution of the spell or ability that created them. If the trigger event or events occur multiple times during that time, the reflexive triggered ability will trigger once for each of those times.

Gidgetimer is correct. It's also worth stating that its very rare in magic for a card to reference doing something over the course of an entire game, but when it does, such as with Approach of the Second Sun , it usually says this game. These types of abilities are powerful and rare, and not likely to be on an ability that could easily trigger once every turn.

"This way" in "if you won five flips this way" is referencing back to the coin flips by the same ability resolving. All five flips have to be from the same attack trigger.
