Can you have two Astral Heron? Does your second card cost 4 less?

FAQ #11679·asked by Yogable·August 2, 2026
Answer

Yes. 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.
