If Soraka and another unit would die simultaneously from lethal combat damage, and Soraka has Guardian Angel/Zhonya's Hourglass, does Soraka's ability trigger to save the other unit while Guardian Angel saves Soraka?

Ruling: Based on current comprehensive rules interpretation, Soraka can save other units even when dying simultaneously with them, and you can use Guardian Angel to save Soraka in the same situation. When multiple replacement effects apply to the same event, the owner determines the order they apply.

Sequence:

• Multiple units including Soraka would die from lethal damage
• Soraka's replacement effect can apply to save another unit
• Guardian Angel's replacement effect can apply to save Soraka
• The owner chooses which replacement effects apply in which order
• Result: Other unit is saved by Soraka, Soraka is saved by Guardian Angel

Nuances:

• The comprehensive rules are acknowledged to be ambiguous on whether Soraka needs to "survive" to see units die, since her ability is not a trigger but a replacement effect
• There is uncertainty about whether this is the final ruling once official clarity is provided
• If both Guardian Angel and Zhonya's Hourglass are present, ordering which item is destroyed matters
• This interpretation may make Soraka stronger than intended
