If you have Draven Audacious at 6 points, move Draven to occupied battlefield and win combat. Do you score 1 point for conquering and 1 point for Draven ability, putting you at 8 points? Do you win the game?
No, moving Draven, Audacious to an occupied battlefield and winning the combat does not automatically put you at 8 points to win the game if you started at 6.
Here is the breakdown of why this happens based on the rules and game flow:
1. Draven's Ability Triggers First
According to RiftJudge FAQ #7648 and #9116, Draven, Audacious's ability triggers during the Combat Special Cleanup, which occurs before the Conquer scoring event for that battlefield.
- Sequence:
- You move Draven to the occupied battlefield, initiating a showdown.
- You win the combat.
- Draven’s triggered ability resolves, awarding you 1 point.
- Your total points increase from 6 to 7.
- After the combat concludes and the battlefield is cleared of opposing units, you successfully Conquer the battlefield (the scoring event).
2. The Conquer Scoring Event
After Draven's ability has already brought you to 7 points, you then attempt to score the battlefield via the Conquer action.
- Rule 466.1.b.2 states that if you are at 7 points and attempt to gain a point through a Conquer action, you only score the 8th point if you have already scored every other battlefield on the board that turn.
- The Result: If you have not scored all other battlefields this turn, you do not gain the 8th point from the Conquer action. Instead, per Rule 466.1.b.2, you draw a card.
Summary
- Draven's Point: You reach 7 points via his triggered ability.
- The Conquer: You do not reach 8 points from the conquer unless you have already scored every other battlefield in the game this turn.
- Result: You remain at 7 points and draw a card. You do not win the game immediately in this scenario unless you satisfy the final point restriction for the Conquer action.
This interpretation is based on Rule 466.1.b.2 and the logic established in RiftJudge FAQs #9116 and #9136.
