Smashing Ground (Blue)

Smashing Ground’s ability generates a conditional continuous effect that is always checking. If Smashing Crowd has less than 6 and then has 6 or more , this will get the “when this hits a hero” triggered ability.

The “when this hits a hero” triggered ability gained from Smashing Ground’s ability triggers when it hits a hero. When this triggered effect resolves, you will destroy a card of your choice in their arsenal.

If Smashing Ground is 5 or less when it hits, then it becomes 6 or more after you hit, Smashing Ground 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 Smashing Ground hit the hero.
