Answer

Yes, you can perform that sequence. Because Sett, Brawler's ability to spend a buff is an activated ability and Pit Rookie's ability is a triggered ability, you can chain them together as long as you have the necessary resources and timing.

Here is the sequence to achieve this:

  1. Initial State: Sett, Brawler is on the board with a buff.
  2. Spend First Buff: During your Action Phase (when the chain is empty), you activate Sett, Brawler's ability: "Spend my buff: Give me +4 might this turn."
    • You spend the buff (removing the counter).
    • Sett gains +4 Might for the turn.
  3. Play Pit Rookie: You play Pit Rookie from your hand.
    • Pit Rookie enters the board.
    • Pit Rookie's "When you play me" ability triggers and goes on the chain.
  4. Resolve Pit Rookie: The chain resolves. You target Sett, Brawler with Pit Rookie's ability.
    • Since Sett no longer has a buff (you spent it in step 2), he receives a new buff counter.
  5. Spend Second Buff: Now that Sett has a new buff, you can activate his ability again during your Action Phase (when the chain is empty).
    • You spend the new buff.
    • Sett gains another +4 Might for the turn.

Important Rules to Note:

  • Rule 702.3: "There can only be one Buff on a Unit at a time." This is why you must spend the first buff before Pit Rookie can successfully apply a new one.
  • FAQ #1477: Confirms that Sett, Brawler's ability can be activated multiple times in one turn to stack buffs, provided you can give him a new buff between each activation.
  • FAQ #5784: Confirms that Pit Rookie's ability targets another unit, and the "it" in the reminder text refers to that targeted unit.
