Question 10 Unchecked Power is played by Player 1, which deals 12 damage to all units at battlefields. Player 2 has Viktor, Leader and two Vanguard Sergeants at a battlefield. Viktor, Leader has the ability: "When another non-Recruit unit you control dies, play a 1 [S] Recruit unit token into your base." How many Recruits will Player 2 play when Unchecked Power resolves?

Player 2 will play zero Recruit tokens.

According to Rule 383.2.c.2 and the related FAQ #3643 and FAQ #4785, Viktor, Leader’s ability will not trigger when it dies simultaneously with other units from an effect like Unchecked Power.

Sequence:

1. Unchecked Power resolves, dealing 12 damage to all units at the battlefield simultaneously.
2. Viktor, Leader and the two Vanguard Sergeants all take lethal damage and die at the same time.
3. Because Viktor dies during the same game action as the other units, it is no longer on the battlefield to see them die, and its trigger condition is never met. Therefore, no Recruit tokens are created.
