If Draven, Audacious dies in combat but you win the combat, does his 'when I die in combat' ability trigger before his 'when I win a combat' ability, and which effect resolves?

Answer

Ruling: When Draven dies in combat but you win, only his 'when I die in combat' ability triggers and resolves. His 'when I win a combat' ability does not trigger because he is already in the Trash when that would check.

Sequence:

  • Draven's 'when I die in combat' ability triggers during step 2b of Cleanup and is added as a pending item to the chain
  • Draven is sent to the Trash
  • Draven's 'when I win a combat' ability cannot trigger because he is no longer in play
  • When cleanup finishes, Draven's pending 'when I die in combat' item resolves and your opponent scores a point
