If Ravenbloom Student is at 3 might and an opponent targets it with Hextech Ray (dealing 3 damage), can the controller activate a spell in response to trigger Ravenbloom Student's ability and gain +1 might before Hextech Ray resolves and kills it?

Answer

Ruling: Yes, Ravenbloom Student triggers and gains +1 might before Hextech Ray resolves, allowing it to survive at 4 might when the 3 damage is dealt.

Sequence:

  • Hextech Ray is activated targeting Ravenbloom Student
  • Player A activates a spell in response (e.g., Consult the Past)
  • The spell resolves
  • Ravenbloom Student's "play a spell" trigger goes on the chain
  • Ravenbloom trigger resolves, granting +1 might
  • Hextech Ray resolves, dealing 3 damage to the now 4-might Student
