Goon Tactics (Blue)

Goon Tactics’ ability generates a conditional continuous effect that is always checking. If you control less than 3 auras when you attack with this, then you control 3 or more auras, this will get +3 and gain the “when this hits a hero” triggered ability.

Goon Tactics’ ability is not functional while defending.

If you gain control of a third aura during the damage step and it causes the if-conditional effect to become active, it will get the +3 from controlling three auras but the damage will not be recalculated.

The triggered ability gained from Goon Tactics’ ability triggers when it hits a hero. You will destroy the top card of that hero’s deck when the triggered effect resolves.

If the number of auras you control becomes 2 or less while the triggered effect is waiting to resolve on the stack, you will still resolve the triggered effect and it is not removed from the stack.

Destroying the top card of the hero’s deck will not trigger any “when this is destroyed,…” effects unless it is specified by the ability’s triggering condition.

Destroying the top card of the hero’s deck will not satisfy any condition nor trigger any effects that look at whether an object they control was destroyed (e.g. Merciful Retribution, Ratchet Up) as players do not control the cards in their deck.
