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
