If you cast Retreat on the target of Hidden Blade in reaction to it, does Hidden Blade still let you draw a card?

Answer

Ruling: No, you do not draw a card. Hidden Blade needs to identify the controller of a unit at a battlefield, but if the unit is no longer at a battlefield (due to Retreat), it cannot establish the controller and the draw effect does not occur.

Nuances:

  • Hidden Blade requires the target unit to still be at a battlefield to resolve its draw effect
  • Removing the unit from the battlefield with Retreat causes Hidden Blade to fail to identify a valid controller
