If I kill a unit for Baited Hook's effect and find Spectral Matron in the top 5 cards, can I use Matron to return the unit I just killed for Baited Hook?

Ruling: Yes, you can return the unit you killed with Baited Hook using Spectral Matron's effect. The unit is in the trash when Matron resolves, making it a valid target.

Sequence:

• Play Baited Hook
• Kill a unit (this happens during Baited Hook's resolution)
• The unit goes to the trash
• Play Spectral Matron from the revealed cards
• Matron can target the killed unit (or any other valid unit) from the trash

Nuances:

• The unit is trashed during Baited Hook's resolution, not as a cost
• A common example is killing Captain Vanguard with Baited Hook, then playing Matron with the hook to revive Captain Vanguard
