Can you attempt to buff a unit that already has a buff (and can't receive more) in order to trigger 'when this unit is buffed' effects?

Answer

Ruling: You can attempt to buff a unit that already has a buff and cannot receive more, but the buff will resolve without effect and will not trigger 'when this unit is buffed' effects.

Nuances:

  • Card text supersedes rules text, so units like Lee Sin with specific text allowing multiple buffs can receive more than one buff despite the general reminder text
  • The attempt to buff resolves without effect when the buff cannot be granted, meaning triggered effects looking for successful buffs will not activate

Does this answer look correct?
