If Yasuo attacks and triggers his ability ('When I attack, deal damage equal to my Might to an enemy unit here'), but the opponent plays Hidden Blade to kill Yasuo before the trigger resolves, does Yasuo still deal damage?

Answer
Ruling: Yasuo does not deal damage. When Hidden Blade resolves and kills Yasuo before his trigger resolves, Yasuo is no longer on the battlefield, so his ability cannot deal damage.
Sequence:
- Yasuo attacks and his trigger goes on the stack
- Opponent plays Hidden Blade (which was face down at the battlefield being attacked)
- Hidden Blade resolves, killing Yasuo
- Yasuo's trigger tries to resolve, but fails because Yasuo is dead
Nuances:
- The ability fails because "here" and "my Might" return null (not 0 for Might) when Yasuo is no longer on the battlefield
- This is different from Magic: The Gathering, which uses last known information. Riftbound does not have last known information rules, so the ability cannot use Yasuo's previous stats
