If I have a unit at a battlefield and my opponent attacks with one unit, then I use Fight or Flight to send the attacking unit back to base, do I still get Draven's draw and point?

Answer
Ruling: Yes, you get the draw and point. Combat is initiated when the unit moves in and consists of three steps. Even if one side has no units, you skip Step 2 (Combat Damage) but continue through the Resolution Step where Draven's ability triggers.
Sequence:
- Opponent's unit attacks, initiating combat
- Fight or Flight sends the attacking unit back to base
- Step 1 of combat completes
- Step 2 (Combat Damage) is skipped because only one player has units
- Step 3 (Resolution) occurs, triggering Draven's ability
- You get the draw and point
Nuances:
- If you move the attacking unit with Fight or Flight in response to a move trigger (before combat starts), combat never begins and you don't get the draw
- Draven only triggers when winning combat, which requires opposing units at the battlefield initially
- Conquering an uncontrolled battlefield does not trigger Draven because there is no combat, only a showdown
- If an opponent's unit enters during a showdown at an open battlefield, a combat will occur after the showdown, which can trigger Draven if won
