When Zhonya's Hourglass is destroyed to prevent a unit from dying, does the unit retain damage marked on it when it is recalled and exhausted?

Answer

Ruling: No, the unit does not retain the damage. Zhonya's Hourglass was errata'd to explicitly heal the unit when it is recalled and exhausted.

Sequence:

  • Icathian Rain triggers resolve, marking damage on the unit
  • When lethal damage would be dealt, Zhonya's Hourglass triggers
  • Zhonya's Hourglass is destroyed instead of the unit dying
  • The unit is recalled to the base and exhausted
  • The unit is healed (damage is removed)
