If Draven is at 6 points and hasn't scored from a battlefield yet this turn, can he win the game by winning combat (getting his 7th point from winning combat, then his 8th point from conquering)?

Answer

Ruling: This timing is currently unclear in the rules and awaiting official clarification. The community consensus leans toward conquering happening first (during combat resolution), then Draven's "when I win combat" trigger happening after combat ends, which would mean you score the conquer point first (reaching 7), then the Draven point (reaching 8 and winning).

Sequence: (Most likely interpretation)

  • Combat damage occurs
  • Combat cleanup happens (units die)
  • Combat resolution step: You conquer the battlefield and score a point (6→7)
  • Combat ends
  • Draven's "when I win combat" trigger goes on the chain and resolves, scoring another point (7→8, winning the game)

Nuances:

  • The exact timing of when "winning combat" is determined versus when conquering occurs is not explicitly defined in the current rules
  • A feedback thread has been created requesting official clarification
  • You can still win with Draven's ability by being at 7 points before combat starts, or by having already scored from that battlefield this turn

Does this answer look correct?
