When Baited Hook kills a unit with buffs that increase its might, does it check the buffed might or the printed might to determine what unit you can play?

Answer

Ruling: Baited Hook checks the current might of the unit at the time of death, including all modifications from buffs or other effects.

Sequence:

  • When Baited Hook kills a unit, it locks in the might value at the moment of death
  • All modifications (buffs, debuffs, etc.) are included in this value
  • You can then play a unit with might equal to one more than that modified value
  • The opponent can respond with reactions to shrink the might before the ability resolves

Nuances:

  • If Sett's leader ability replaces the death, there is no "killed unit" and you cannot play any unit (the reference becomes NULL)
  • You cannot choose between printed might and current might - it always uses current might at time of death
  • Accelerate costs must still be paid when playing a unit with Baited Hook, as "ignoring its cost" only refers to the printed base cost
