Does the Heroic trigger work here

Asked by griffstick 5 years ago

With Mirrorwing Dragon and or zada

Say for instance I have a Agent of the Fates, Ashiok's Adept, Setessan Oathsworn and Mirrorwing Dragon in play and I play Bounty of Might targeting Mirrorwing Dragon, that triggers Mirrorwing Dragon, you then copy the spell 3 times, and target your 3 heroic creatures 3 times. That alone is awesome but, I dont think that's a heroic trigger at all am I right?

You wouldn't trigger Heroic, unfortunately, as Heroic specifically says "whenever you cast a spell that targets (this creature)." The copies created by Mirrorwing Dragon aren't cast, just created on the stack. If the copy effect said something like "you may cast the copies," then it would work.

Definitely doesn't work for Mirrorwing Dragon since it makes copies on the stack and determines the targets. The copies are never cast and therefore will not trigger heroic.

Whether or not it works for Zada, Hedron Grinder is entirely dependent on if the copies she makes are cast or not. (link was to check text. She makes copies on the stack too and will not work with the same reasoning.)
