If Spirit's Refuge is played on Fiora before she becomes mighty, does she gain Deflect 2 when she gets buffed to mighty status?

Ruling: No, Fiora would not gain Deflect 2. This is a dependency case where Spirit's Refuge depends on Fiora's ability, so Spirit's Refuge is applied last and sees that Fiora already has Deflect from being mighty.

Sequence:

• Fiora becomes mighty and gains Deflect from her ability
• Spirit's Refuge effect resolves, but sees Fiora already has Deflect
• Spirit's Refuge does not grant additional Deflect since the unit already has it

Nuances:

• This follows dependency rules where effects that depend on other effects are applied after the effects they depend on
