Gameplay

Legendary Creature — Human Assassin

When Elena enters, return target non-Assassin historic card from your graveyard to your hand. (Artifacts, legendaries, and Sagas are historic.) Whenever you cast a historic spell, put a +1/+1 counter on Elena.

"Looks like talking alone won't cut it. You're going to have to feel some pain!"

An ability that triggers "whenever you cast a historic spell" doesn't trigger if a historic card is put onto the battlefield without being cast.

2025-06-06wotc

Some abilities trigger "whenever you cast a historic spell." Such an ability resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. It resolves even if that spell is countered.

2025-06-06wotc

Lands are never cast, so abilities that trigger "whenever you cast a historic spell" won't trigger if you play a legendary land. They also won't trigger if a card on the battlefield transforms into a legendary permanent.
