Does The Dreaming Tree trigger a card draw when a spell with a reflexive trigger (like Falling Star) targets your own unit?
verified
Answer
Ruling: No, The Dreaming Tree does not trigger from spells with reflexive triggers like Falling Star. The reflexive trigger itself is a "triggered ability" and not the spell itself, and only the spell needs to target for The Dreaming Tree to work.
Sequence:
- The spell (Falling Star) is cast
- The spell creates a reflexive trigger
- The reflexive trigger (not the spell) does the targeting
- Since the spell itself didn't target, The Dreaming Tree doesn't trigger
Nuances:
- Kill actions and deal actions are exceptions that have specific rules attributing the source back to the root game object
- Target attribution does not trace back to the source in the same way that kill/deal actions do
- This is an intentional design choice, though reflexive design can create unintuitive interactions
