  • WotCSep 15, 2013

    Heroic abilities will resolve before the spell that caused them to trigger.

  • WotCSep 15, 2013

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

  • WotCSep 15, 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.

  • WotCSep 15, 2013

    Only creatures you control when the heroic ability resolves will get the bonuses. Creatures that come under your control later in the turn will not.
