Valiant is an ability word introduced in Bloomburrow.

Description

Valiant highlights triggered abilities that trigger whenever a creature becomes the target of a spell or ability you control for the first time each turn.

Unlike the similar Heroic from the Theros block, Valiant is also triggered by abilities but it triggers only once each turn.

Rulings

• Valiant abilities will resolve before the spell or ability that caused them to trigger.
• If a spell or ability you control has one or more of its targets changed to a creature you control with a valiant ability, that ability will trigger if that creature hasn't yet been the target of a spell or ability you control this turn.
• If you create a copy of a spell on the stack and target a creature you control with a valiant ability, that ability will trigger as long as the creature hasn't already been targeted by a spell of an ability you control this turn.
