Answer

Ruling: You must pay the rune for Deflect when you finalize the Hidden Blade to the chain targeting Qiyana, even though you already paid to play it Hidden.

Sequence:

  • Pay to play Hidden Blade Hidden earlier
  • When finalizing Hidden Blade to the chain targeting Qiyana, pay the rune for Deflect

Nuances:

  • You can target your own unit with Hidden Blade, and if you kill your own unit you will draw 2
  • You must pay Deflect for each spell or ability that targets a unit with Deflect
