If you play Death Rocket and are at 7 points, can you still get the rocket back when you conquer a battlefield without winning, and does the draw from conquering happen before discarding for the rocket?

Ruling: Yes, you still get the rocket back because you conquered even though you didn't gain a point. When at 7 points with no cards in hand, you can conquer, draw a card from the conquer effect, then discard that card to return Death Rocket to hand.

Sequence:

• Conquer the battlefield
• Draw a card (replacement for gaining the point)
• Discard a card to return Death Rocket to hand

Nuances:

• The draw effect is a replacement for gaining the point, not a replacement for conquering itself
• Conquering still occurs even when at 7 points; you just don't gain the point
