Can you have two Astral Heron? Does your second card cost 4 less?
verifiedYes. Both Herons each have the trigger "When you play your first card each turn," so two copies mean two separate triggers, and both discounts apply to the same next card — your second card costs 4 Energy and 4 [A] less total.
Cost reductions stack additively (see the Herald of Scales / Eager Apprentice rulings), and since each Heron is a different object, each applies its own [2][A][A] discount during cost determination (Rule 356.4). Energy and Power just can't be reduced below 0, so only the discounted card benefits — the third card is back to full price.
