Strongarm Monk

Digital Triggers Explanation

New 14 Dec 2015 Asked by arcaneinterrobang 21 Comments

Hopefully third time's the charm: I'm honestly not sure if this is a design or development question (sorry if it's dev!). Is there a reason that creatures like Strongarm Monk and Soulblade Djinn are printed with, "whenever you cast a noncreature spell, creatures you control get +1/+1." Rather than just, "creatures you control have prowess."? A creature can have multiple instances of prowess and each will trigger separately.


My best guess was it had to do with the interaction of how triggers work in digital products.
