When both players are at 7 points and Player A has 2 purple Dravens on battlefield, Player B plays Deadbloom Predator killing one Draven (leaving one Draven alive that wins combat), who wins the game?

Answer
Ruling: Based on the semi-official Chinese judge FAQ, Player A wins before Player B. However, the current official rules (RAW) do not provide a clear answer to this scenario, and clarification is needed in the next core rules update.
Sequence:
- Draven dies in step 2b of the combat cleanup
- Draven death trigger finalizes in the same cleanup
- After combat cleanup and all derived cleanups finish, the combat win trigger is generated
- The combat win trigger finalizes in the next cleanup
- Triggers resolve in FILO (first in, last out) order
- Player A's combat win trigger resolves first, ending the game before Player B's death trigger resolves
Nuances:
- This ruling relies on the semi-official Chinese judge FAQ and should be taken with a heavy grain of salt
- There is debate about whether winning a combat happens before or after death triggers resolve
- The exact timing depends on whether the rules will insert a substep between combat cleanup steps or define the timing via an external rule
- When Player A wins, the game ends immediately and Player B does not win afterward
- Until official clarification, judges may rule differently based on their understanding
