If you use Dragon's Rage to move a unit to a destination, and the opponent uses a reaction (like Fight or Flight) to move that unit to a different location before the reflexive trigger resolves, where do you choose the second unit from and does damage still occur?

Answer

Ruling: If the first unit is moved away from the chosen destination before the reflexive trigger resolves, you still choose a unit at the originally declared destination (the location chosen when finalizing Dragon's Rage). However, if no movement actually occurred because the unit ended up at the same location it started (origin equals destination), then no damage is dealt at all.

Sequence:

  • Dragon's Rage is played and finalized, choosing a unit and destination
  • If a reaction moves the first unit before the spell resolves, it may still be a valid target and gets moved to the chosen destination
  • The reflexive trigger activates, requiring you to choose another unit at the destination that was declared when finalizing Dragon's Rage
  • If the first unit is then moved away from that destination (via reaction to the reflexive trigger), you still choose a unit at the originally declared destination and both units deal damage to each other
  • If you want to prevent damage, you must move the second unit away from the destination so it's no longer a valid target

Nuances:

  • The "destination" is locked in when Dragon's Rage is finalized, not where the first unit actually ends up
  • If no movement occurs (unit is already at the chosen destination), no damage is dealt
  • Moving the first unit away as a reaction to the reflexive trigger does NOT prevent damage - only moving the second unit does
  • The reflexive trigger refers to the destination chosen during finalization, not tracking where the first unit currently is
