When a unit with Deathnell dies, does it still trigger Deathnell before being revived by Zhonya?

Answer

Ruling: No, Deathnell does not trigger when Zhonya revives a unit. Zhonya replaces the kill effect, so the unit never dies or goes to the trash.

Nuances:

  • For effects like Baited Hook that trigger on kill, the effect still happens when Zhonya protects the unit, but there is no "killed unit" to reference for stats like might
  • You would look at the top cards and recycle them all because there's no unit with Null might to reference
  • This interaction also applies to Sett's Legend ability
