How does Bushido work with Balduvian warlord
Asked by Kragmork 11 years ago
Hello, I wanted to ask how does bushido work with Balduvian Warlord .
For example, I attack someone with Battle-Mad Ronin and Raging Goblin . Defending player controls a Bear Cub and a Nylea's Emissary . He decides to block ronin with emissary and goblin with cub. If I use Balduvian Warlord to make the bear cub block ronin, does ronin's bushido trigger twice?
Thank you for answers,Kragmork

No.
From Balduvian Warlord 's Gatherer page:
7/15/2006: If the targeted creature has a "When this creature blocks" ability, it will trigger when Balduvian Warlord's ability resolves and the creature blocks again.
7/15/2006: If an attacking creature has an ability that triggers "When this creature becomes blocked," it triggers when a creature blocks it due to the Warlord's ability only if it was unblocked at that point.
Only a defending creature with bushido will benefit from a second trigger. Attacking creatures with bushido will only get one trigger (the one from the original block).

If you want to trigger Bushido twice on your attacker, you can use Balduvian Warlord 's ability to 'unblock' it and then have the target (formerly blocking) creature block your Bushido creature again. The Warlord specifies that attackers become 'unblocked' if no attackers are left, so blocking again will trigger again. And Warlord doesn't specify it has to block a different attacking creature.

It will trigger only once. Bushido reads "whenever this creature blocks or becomes blocked, it gets +x/+x". The Battle-Mad Ronin was considered blocked when a creature was declared as a blocker for it; adding another creature to block it doesn't make it "considered blocked" again.
