If you retreat a blue Viktor (Inquisitive) on your opponent's turn, does he make a recruit token?

Ruling: No, Viktor does not make a recruit token when retreated. Play effects occur after the triggering spell finishes the complete process of being played, which in the case of retreat will be after Viktor is put back in hand.

Sequence:

• Retreat is played targeting Viktor
• Viktor is returned to hand as part of retreat resolving
• Play effects would trigger after retreat fully resolves
• Since Viktor is no longer on the battlefield, his play effect does not trigger
