1) A spell that target multiple creatures with heroic will trigger heroic for the targeted creatures
2) Common Bond will only trigger heroic once. From the FAQ: "Heroic abilities will trigger only once per spell, even if that spell targets the creature with the heroic ability multiple times."
I have a Battlewise Hoplite and a Triton Fortune Hunter on the battlefield. I target both with Hidden Strings. Does it matter which I target first? The desired effect is so that I scry before I draw a card. I'm pretty sure that since I control both heroic triggers, I can stack it so that TFH's heroic goes on the stack first, followed by BH's, and they'l resolve in reverse order, giving the desired effect.
Just to clarify to make sure I understand the interaction fully: if a creature with double strike that is encoded goes unblocked and deals damage directly to my opponent, I would get two copies of the encoded spell??
Your question is a bit vague, but when you cast a spell with Cipher, the encoding is part of the spell's resolution. The spell must resolve in order for you to exile it and encode it onto a creature. If you're asking whether or not the copy is cast, it says specifically in the reminder text that you cast the copy, not simply put it on the stack.

If this works the way I think it does, I should end up with a 2/2 Akroan Crusader, 2/2 Phalanx Leader, 4/4 Fabled Hero (all three of which have one damage marked on them), plus a 2/2 Soldier token.
I got Chained to the Rocks in my seeded pack. My other rares were Fabled Hero, Bident of Thassa, Boon Satyr, Triad of Fates, and Temple of Abandon. Ended up playing Azorius Heroic since i opened 10+ Heroic creatures. Went 2-2 for 2 packs. Would've got 3-1, but I ended up punting round 1 by overextending.
I think I've seen this one before, and I think it was fake. Could be wrong though. I thought they weren't doing the nasty DCI watermark in the middle of the art anymore.
This. I definitely recall seeing this one, and it was fake before, so it's probably fake now. And that art is hideous compared to the original.
