If I attack with a unit, then use Action: Challenge, but the opponent reacts with Hidden Blade and kills my unit, what happens to Challenge?

Answer

Ruling: Challenge will resolve to no effect because it cannot find the unit you controlled that was originally chosen as a target.

Sequence:

  • You attack with a unit
  • You activate Challenge and choose units when adding it to the chain
  • Opponent responds with Hidden Blade, killing your unit
  • Challenge resolves but does nothing because its target is missing

Nuances:

  • Cards do not change targets if the targets are missing on resolution
  • Challenge cannot choose a new target when the original target is gone
  • "Finalizing" a spell prevents the choices from being modified after that point
