Can a player play a reaction (Retreat) that was drawn from Hidden Blade's resolution to save another unit targeted by the same Falling Star that triggered Hidden Blade?

Answer

Ruling: Yes, after Hidden Blade resolves (killing the unit and drawing 2 cards), players can add new reactions to the chain before Falling Star continues resolving its other targets.

Sequence:

  • Falling Star is played targeting two units (one at battlefield, one at base)
  • Hidden Blade is activated in response, targeting the battlefield unit
  • Hidden Blade resolves: kills the unit and draws 2 cards
  • Players can now add reactions to the chain
  • Retreat (drawn from Hidden Blade) can be played targeting the base unit
  • Retreat resolves, saving the base unit
  • Falling Star continues resolution

Nuances:

  • The Retreat targets a different unit than the one killed by Hidden Blade (it saves the base unit, not the battlefield unit that was already killed)
