Answer

Ruling: Draven's ability triggers first, before the conquest point is scored. You would go to 7 points from Draven's ability, then gain the conquest point (going to 8), but since you need to conquer both battlefields to win, you only draw a card when conquering.

Sequence:

  • Combat special cleanup occurs
  • Draven's "win a combat" ability triggers (you go to 7 points)
  • Control is established and conquest point is scored (you go to 8 points)
  • You draw a card for conquering

Nuances:

  • "Win a combat" means your units remain at the battlefield after combat special cleanup
  • This timing is similar to deathknell abilities
  • You would need to conquer both battlefields to win the game in this scenario
