Does Solari Shrine trigger and allow you to draw when an opponent's unit would die but is saved by Zhonya's (which recalls the unit instead)?

Answer

Ruling: Solari Shrine does not trigger when Zhonya's saves a unit from death. Because Zhonya's replaces the kill event by recalling the unit, the unit is never killed, so Solari Shrine's condition is not met.

Sequence:

  • Unit would die
  • Zhonya's replaces the death with a recall
  • The kill event never happens
  • Solari Shrine does not trigger and is not exhausted
  • Solari Shrine remains ready and can trigger on the next unit killed that turn

Nuances:

  • You cannot even attempt to exhaust Solari Shrine in this situation - doing so would be a rules error
  • Since Solari Shrine doesn't exhaust, it remains available to trigger on another kill during the same turn
