No, your unit will not get +4 Might.
Sequence of Events
- Play: You play Decree of Focus targeting a friendly unit at a battlefield occupied by an enemy Fury unit. It is placed on the chain.
- Reaction: Your opponent plays Thrill of the Hunt in response, targeting their Fury unit. It is placed on the chain on top of your Decree of Focus.
- Resolution – Thrill of the Hunt: Thrill of the Hunt resolves first. It banishes the target Fury unit, and then its owner plays it to a different battlefield.
- Object Change: According to Rule 705 and RiftJudge FAQ #9870, when a unit is banished and then re-played, it enters the board as a "new object."
- Resolution – Decree of Focus: Now it is time for your Decree of Focus to resolve.
- The requirement for Decree of Focus is that your unit must be "in combat with an enemy Fury unit" or "being chosen by an enemy Fury spell."
- Because the Fury unit moved to a new battlefield, the specific Fury unit that justified your targeting of the Decree of Focus is no longer present at your battlefield.
- Per the rules governing mistargeting and condition checks (Rule 359.3.e), because the conditions of the spell are no longer satisfied, the effect fails to apply.
Summary: Since the Fury unit left your battlefield, your unit is no longer in combat with a Fury unit, and the Decree of Focus fails to provide the +4 Might.
Note: I could not fully verify this ruling against the retrieved rules.
