The gods of Journey into Nyx do cause some confusion. Don\u2019t worry, we here at the rules tips blog are here to help!<\/p>\n<p>The first interaction of the week revolves around the Boros Legion.

Alongside him, providing three devotion, lies <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/rulestips\/wp-content\/plugins\/lems-mtg-helper\/lems-mtg-helper-cardfinder.php?find=Boros+Reckoner&width=223&height=310\" class=\"jTip\" name=\"\">Boros Reckoner<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the issue exists when your Boros Reckoner is blocked while you control Iroas. Iroas has a non-optional ability and will prevent all the damage dealt to the Reckoner, since it&#8217;s an attacking creature you control. This means that Boros Reckoner will not trigger to deal damage to another creature or player. Basically, Iroas is a very powerful card, though there are some unfavorable interactions.<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s Rules Tip written by James Arriola<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boros Reckoner can only trigger if damage is actually dealt to it, so Iroas&#8217;s damage prevention may be unfortunate for you when attacking!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[921,1104],"language":[1196],"class_list":["post-4231","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-boros-reckoner","tag-iroas-god-of-victory","language-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/rulestips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4231","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/rulestips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/rulestips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/rulestips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/rulestips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4231"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/rulestips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4231\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4232,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/rulestips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4231\/revisions\/4232"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/rulestips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4231"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/rulestips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4231"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/rulestips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4231"},{"taxonomy":"language","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/rulestips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/language?post=4231"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
