Answer
Yes, you can use the Deathknell ability of Glasc Mixologist to bring Pickpocket back from your trash.
Sequence of Events
- Singularity is played, targeting Glasc Mixologist (and potentially another unit).
- Singularity resolves, dealing 6 damage to Glasc Mixologist.
- Since Glasc Mixologist has 5 Might, it takes lethal damage and is marked for death.
- Cleanup begins (Rule 322).
- Glasc Mixologist's Deathknell triggers and is added to the chain as a Pending Item (Rule 734.1.d.2).
- Glasc Mixologist is killed and moved to the trash (Rule 322.4).
- The Deathknell trigger finalizes on the chain (Rule 322.12).
- You resolve the Deathknell effect: "You may play a unit with cost no more than [3] and no more than [A] from your trash, ignoring its cost."
- You choose Pickpocket (which has a base Energy cost of 3) from your trash and play it to the board.
Important Nuances
- "When you play me" triggers: Because you are playing Pickpocket from your trash via the Deathknell effect, its "When you play me" ability will trigger. Playing a card from the trash is still "playing" the card. Once Pickpocket enters the board, its triggered ability is added to the chain (Rule 376.4.a).
- Cost: The Deathknell effect allows you to play the unit "ignoring its cost," so you do not need to pay the 3 Energy for Pickpocket.
- Legality: Pickpocket meets the requirements of the Deathknell effect (cost no more than 3).
Note: I could not fully verify this ruling against the retrieved rules.
