Answer

Ruling: No, you must trigger Jinx's beginning step ability before holding. Jinx triggers in the beginning step, while holding happens in the scoring step.

Sequence:

  • Jinx's beginning step trigger resolves first
  • Then holding occurs in the scoring step

Nuances:

  • This is relevant when Jinx is close to burning out and you want to avoid drawing an extra card - you cannot avoid the trigger by holding first
  • Temporary units die before they hold for the same reason (beginning step happens before scoring step)
