If you're at 6 points and attack with Draven (who gains a point after winning combat), do you go to 8 points total, or does Draven's point happen before the conquer point, preventing you from reaching 8 (and thus drawing a card instead)?

Answer

Ruling: This interaction is currently unclear in the rules and has no definitive answer. The community consensus leans toward Draven's point being awarded after the combat resolution step completes (meaning after the conquer point is scored), which would result in going to 8 points and winning rather than drawing a card at 7.

Sequence: (Most likely interpretation)

  • Combat occurs and you win
  • Combat resolution step establishes control
  • Conquer point is scored (6→7 points)
  • Card is drawn at 7 points
  • Combat phase ends
  • Draven's "after combat" ability triggers
  • Draven's point is awarded (7→8 points)
  • Game ends

Nuances:

  • The rules do not clearly define when "after combat" abilities resolve relative to the conquer scoring
  • Until official clarification or errata, head judges at events should make the ruling
  • Developer indication suggests the check may move to end of combat after conquer, supporting the 6→8 interpretation
  • This ruling may be clarified before the English release of the set
