If you cast Stupefy targeting your own unit while Dreaming Tree is in play, and your opponent responds with Defy to counter Stupefy, do you still draw a card from Dreaming Tree?

Ruling: Yes, you draw a card from Dreaming Tree (assuming you haven't already drawn from it that turn). Dreaming Tree's trigger goes on the chain when you choose the target for Stupefy, which happens before your opponent can cast Defy in response.

Sequence:

• You cast Stupefy and choose your friendly unit as the target
• Dreaming Tree's trigger goes on the chain
• Opponent can now respond with Defy
• If Defy is cast, it resolves first and counters Stupefy
• Dreaming Tree's trigger still resolves and you draw a card
• Stupefy does not resolve (was countered)

Nuances:

• Dreaming Tree only triggers when you choose a friendly unit as the target
• You can only draw once per turn from Dreaming Tree regardless of how many times you target friendly units
