If Wraith of Echoes is the first friendly unit that died this turn, does it draw a card with its own ability?

Ruling: No, Wraith of Echoes does not see its own death and cannot trigger its ability when it dies. The unit needs to be on the board for its ability to trigger, but it is moving to the trash as it dies.

Sequence:

• When a unit dies, check where it is going as the event resolves
• If the zone it's going to is appropriate for its ability to trigger, the ability can trigger
• Wraith of Echoes needs to be on the board for its ability to resolve, but it's going to the trash
• Therefore, the ability does not get added to the chain

Nuances:

• Deathknell abilities are the only triggered abilities that can see back to the event that happened as the unit was leaving play
• If Wraith of Echoes had deathknell, it would be able to see its own death
• Even if multiple units died simultaneously, Wraith cannot see any of them because it's leaving the board and its ability can only trigger while on the board
• Triggered abilities that are triggered simultaneously with the unit leaving its zone normally do not trigger, unless they have deathknell
