If I defend with a unit and stun the attacking unit so it deals no damage and gets recalled during Combat Cleanup, do I win the combat?

Question

Accepted Answer

Ruling: No. Under the updated rules (Rules FAQ Clarification 2026-04-29), if an attacking unit is recalled during the Combat Cleanup phase, the combat result is "No Result" regardless of which units remain on the battlefield. This means "win a combat" abilities will not trigger.

Sequence:
- Combat Damage Resolution: The stunned attacker deals no damage; defending units survive.
- Combat Cleanup: All units heal. Because defenders are still present, attacking units are recalled to their controller's base (Rule 461.1.a.2).
- Determine Combat Result: Because units were recalled during Combat Cleanup, the result is "No Result" (Rule 461.3.d).

Nuances:
- This applies even if only your defending units remain at the end—the recall during cleanup forces "No Result."
- Abilities like Draven Legend's "When you win a combat, draw 1" or Draven, Audacious's "When I win a combat, you score 1 point" will not trigger.
