After the new cleanup rules, does putting multiple triggers on a unit with Icathian Rain still work to get around Zhonya's/Sett's legend ability, or does the unit only die after all Rain triggers resolve?

Ruling: Multiple triggers from Icathian Rain still work to get around Zhonya's/Sett's legend ability. There is a cleanup between each Rain trigger resolving, allowing you to over-assign damage.

Sequence:

  • Each Rain trigger is a discrete chain item
  • When a Rain trigger resolves, it is removed from the chain
  • This removal triggers a cleanup
  • The cleanup occurs before the next Rain trigger resolves
  • During cleanup, the unit can die if it has lethal damage

Nuances:

  • Damage being put on a unit does NOT trigger cleanup
  • An item resolving (being removed from the chain) is what triggers the cleanup

Does this answer look correct?
