How does Deathgrip interact with Sett Legend when saving a unit from death? Specifically, does the saved unit's buffed or unbuffed Might get transferred?

Answer

Ruling: When Sett Legend saves a unit from death that was being killed by Deathgrip's cost, the unit receiving the Might bonus gets the unbuffed (current) Might value of the saved unit, not the buffed Might it had before being saved.

Sequence:

  • You finalize Deathgrip by targeting the unit that will receive the Might bonus
  • On resolution, you choose which friendly unit to kill (this is a cost within an instruction, not a target)
  • If you save that unit with Sett Legend, the death is replaced
  • The game evaluates the killed unit's current Might (which is now unbuffed after being saved)
  • The targeted unit receives Might equal to that current value

Nuances:

  • The unit you kill is NOT a target because it's part of a cost ("kill a unit TO give..."), only the unit receiving Might is targeted
  • You must kill a friendly unit (no "may" or "up to"), so if your opponent removes the target, you still have to kill a unit
  • You cannot cast Deathgrip with only one unit because you need "another" unit to receive the Might
  • If the unit actually dies (not saved), you would look back at its buffed Might value using rule 356.3.e.13
  • The logic is similar to Zhonyas + Hidden Blade: if the unit stays on board, reference its current information
