If Ahri's trigger is on the chain and she dies before it resolves, does the trigger still resolve or does it whiff because she is no longer holding?

Answer

Ruling: The trigger still resolves. Since Ahri satisfied the holding condition when the trigger was put on the chain, her death before resolution does not cause the trigger to whiff.

Nuances:

  • The resolution text asks for no information from the current game state, so it can resolve even if Ahri is no longer in play
  • This works similarly to "When you play me" triggers that still resolve even if the unit is removed before resolution
  • If the card text specifically said "if I hold here" then it would whiff upon her death
