Hi again,

subject says it all: When Hero has a "if blocked you, may play" ability when does this ability trigger? Before or after blocker's SA has finished?

Example: The Destroyer (PoC): May use Exodus plagues. If blocked, you may play an Exodus plague. If you do not (or if not blocked), discard an evil human after battle.

Thank you for clarification!

Bye

Trigger always wait for everything else to finish before they activate. So you can play the Enhancement after the blocker's SA completes.
