When an opponent attacks with Lucian Gunslinger and the defending player controls Reavers Row and Overzealous Fan, in what order do the triggers resolve, and can you retreat/bounce Fan before killing him to bounce Lucian?

Ruling: Reavers Row and Overzealous Fan triggers are placed on the chain after Lucian's when attacking trigger. You as the controller decide the order they are placed. Once triggers are on the chain, they resolve normally even if the trigger condition is no longer met.

Sequence:

  • Lucian's when attacking trigger goes on the chain
  • Reavers Row and Fan triggers are placed on the chain after (in controller's chosen order)
  • Triggers resolve in reverse order (last in, first out)
  • You can choose whether to use "you may" effects on resolution

Nuances:

  • Overzealous Fan always places a trigger on the chain, but you decide whether to kill him on resolution
  • You can retreat Fan or bounce Lucian before Fan's kill effect
  • You can even retreat Fan AND THEN kill him to bounce Lucian
  • Once a trigger is on the chain, losing the trigger condition (like Fan losing defender) doesn't prevent the trigger from resolving normally
