Answer

Ruling: Yes, Ahri's ability still triggers even though she dies. Attacker triggers go first, then defender triggers, and the chain resolves in LIFO (last in, first out) order.

Sequence:

  • Volibear's ability triggers first (attacker)
  • Ahri's ability triggers second (defender)
  • Chain resolves LIFO: Ahri's ability resolves first, reducing Volibear's might by 2
  • Volibear's ability resolves second, dealing damage to Ahri
  • Ahri's controller must pay Deflect cost

Nuances:

  • If Legend Ahri is also in play, both Ahri abilities are defender triggers, so the defending player chooses the order between them
  • Legend Ahri would reduce attacking unit's might by an additional 1
