If Hidden Blade targets an attacking unit during a battlefield contest, but the opponent responds by bouncing that unit to their hand with Retreat, does the opponent still draw 2 cards even though Hidden Blade has no valid target?

Answer

Ruling: No, the opponent does not draw 2 cards. If Hidden Blade doesn't have a legal target as it starts to resolve, it cannot determine the controller of a null target, so the draw effect does not occur.
