FAQ #10284·May 12, 2026·Asked before Vendetta
Answer
No, Deathknell does not trigger if a unit is returned to your hand.
According to Rule 808.1.d:
"The Trigger for this effect is the Permanent being Killed and sent to the Trash."
Because Deathknell requires the unit to be killed and move to the trash, if a card effect causes that unit to be returned to your hand, the "death" event never occurs. Consequently, the Deathknell ability is never triggered.
Does this answer look correct?
