Emberheart Challenger

{1}{R} · Creature — Mouse Warrior

Haste Prowess (Whenever you cast a noncreature spell, this creature gets +1/+1 until end of turn.) Valiant — Whenever this creature becomes the target of a spell or ability you control for the first time each turn, exile the top card of your library. Until end of turn, you may play that card.

Rulings (4)

Jul 26, 2024 · If a spell or ability you control has one or more of its targets changed to a creature you control with a valiant ability, that ability will trigger if that creature hasn't yet been the target of a spell or ability you control this turn.

Jul 26, 2024 · Valiant abilities will resolve before the spell or ability that caused them to trigger.

Jul 26, 2024 · If you create a copy of a spell on the stack and target a creature you control with a valiant ability, that ability will trigger as long as the creature hasn't yet been the target of a spell or ability you control this turn.

Jul 26, 2024 · You pay all costs and follow all timing rules for cards played this way. For example, if the exiled card is a land card, you may play it only during your main phase while the stack is empty.
