When Falling Star is played and chooses a RavenBloom Student twice as targets for its reflexive triggers, does the Student's 'when you play a spell' trigger resolve before the damage triggers, potentially saving it from dying?

Answer
Ruling: The RavenBloom Student's trigger resolves first and the Student survives. The reflexive triggers are created during Falling Star's resolution, then after the spell finishes resolving, the Student's "when you play a spell" trigger is added to the chain on top of the reflexive triggers.
Sequence:
- Falling Star begins resolving
- Two reflexive triggers are created and added as pending during resolution
- Falling Star finishes resolving and goes to trash
- RavenBloom Student's trigger is added as pending on top
- All pending items are added to the chain properly
- Student's trigger resolves first (giving +1/+1)
- The two damage triggers resolve afterward (Student now has 7 health and survives)
Nuances:
- The reflexive triggers are created during resolution but added to the chain using the pending items system
- "Play" triggers like RavenBloom Student only trigger after the spell has finished resolving
- The triggers do not happen at the same time, so the active player cannot choose their order
