Cries of Encore (Red)

Cries of Encore’s first ability triggers when it resolves on the stack and becomes an attacking card against a hero. Whether or not you have less than that hero is checked when this triggered effect resolves. If you have less than them, the crowd cheers you.

Cries of Victory’s second ability generates a conditional continuous effect that is always checking. If the crowd hasn’t cheered you when you attack with this and then the crowd cheers you, this will get the “when this hits a hero” triggered ability.

The “when this hits a hero” triggered ability gained from Cries of Encore’s second ability triggers when it hits a hero. When this triggered effect resolves, a continuous effect is generated that allows you to play an aura of suspense from your graveyard this turn.

If the crowd hasn’t cheered you this turn but then the crowd cheers you after you hit, Cries of Encore will still get the “when this hits a hero” triggered ability; however, it will not retroactively trigger as the ability was not active at the moment Cries of Encore hit the hero.
