Does Wraith of Echoes trigger itself on death, or trigger when dying simultaneously with other units?

Ruling: Units do not see themselves die. Wraith of Echoes will not trigger its own death effect, even if it dies simultaneously with other units during combat.

Sequence:

  • All combat damage is dealt simultaneously
  • Units that die are removed from the board
  • Units that died cannot trigger their own on-death effects
  • Only units that survive can trigger effects based on other units dying

Nuances:

  • This ruling comes from developer confirmation rather than explicit rules text
  • A new Comprehensive Rules Document is expected before English release that may formalize this
