Can I double up exalted effects?
Asked by DownwardRain 8 years ago
If I have two Noble Hierarchs on the battlefield and one attacks alone does it have +1/+1 or +2/+2 because of the exalted passive on each.

That is kinda the point of exalted, the more things you have with exalted out the bigger your one attacking creature is. Furthermore multiple instances of exalted on the same permanent will also each give the 1/1 buff.

Triggered abilities are never redundant; whenever a trigger event occurs, all abilities that would trigger for it do so.
And this is just a technical nitpick, but the term is static ability; passive is not used as a technical term in Magic.

Triggered effects in magic always stack. So if something starts with "when" or "whenever" or "at" then it is a triggered ability and will use the stack. When you attack with one creature, both instances of exalted will trigger. If you had ten creatures with exalted, all of their effects would stack and your creature would get +1/+1 ten times.

Exalted is neither passive nor static it is a triggered ability.
702.82a Exalted is a triggered ability. Exalted means Whenever a creature you control attacks alone, that creature gets +1/+1 until end of turn.

"Stacking" is used unofficially to refer to things that apply cumulatively; it's not necessarily related to something's use of the stack.
@Gidge: Good catch. I meant to just address passive vs. static. I don't know why I stuck exalted in that bit.

Unless you're explaining something really deep in the details of the rules, it isn't really important to nitpick on "static/passive/continuous" anyway since no effect refers to an ability in that specific way.

I tend to point it out so that future questions and explanations are clearer. Any reference to the rules will not use the term "passive ability."

I am pretty sure it would because it is triggered otherwise I have been playing my exalted deck wrong... nobody at FNM has picked me up about it.
