When Smokescreen is played on a unit that later gains might from another effect (like Cleaver), does Smokescreen's might reduction snapshot at resolution or apply based on the unit's current might?

Ruling: Smokescreen's effect is "snapshotted" when it resolves, meaning the might reduction is determined by the unit's might at the time Smokescreen resolves and that reduction amount applies for the rest of the turn.

Sequence:

• If Smokescreen is played before Cleaver resolves, it checks the unit's might at that moment and applies the corresponding reduction for the rest of the turn
• If Smokescreen is played after Cleaver has completely resolved, it checks the unit's might (including the Cleaver bonus) and applies the corresponding reduction for the rest of the turn

Nuances:

• In the example given, if the Noxus Hopeful has 4 might when Smokescreen resolves, Smokescreen only applies -3 might for the rest of the turn (not -4)
• Waiting for Cleaver to fully resolve before playing Smokescreen allows the full -4 might reduction to apply, since the unit would be at 7 might when Smokescreen resolves
