Answer

Ruling: Yes, Sett would die. When you activate the ability, removing the buff is a cost paid to add the ability to the chain, which means Sett loses the health buff before the ability resolves.

Sequence:

  • The buff is removed as a cost to activate the ability
  • The ability is added to the chain
  • Before the ability can resolve, cleanup happens
  • Sett has 0 health (due to the 4 damage and loss of the buff) and dies during cleanup
  • The ability never resolves

Nuances:

  • If removing the buff were part of the effect (not the cost), Sett would survive because the +4 attack would be gained simultaneously with losing the buff during resolution
