Rulings

Heroic abilities will trigger only once per spell, even if that spell targets the creature with the heroic ability multiple times.


(15/09/2013)
Heroic abilities will resolve before the spell that caused them to trigger.


(15/09/2013)
Heroic abilities won't trigger when a copy of a spell is created on the stack or when a spell's targets are changed to include a creature with a heroic ability.


(07/12/2018)
Resolving Arena Athlete's ability after a creature has blocked won't remove the blocking creature from combat or cause the creature it blocked to become unblocked.
