When cards have 'when a unit dies' effects, do they trigger when the unit itself dies?
Ruling: No, units with "when a unit dies" effects do not trigger when they themselves die. They would be in the trash when their effect would trigger, so they cannot trigger.
Nuances:
- This game does not have "Last Known Information" (LKI) rules like some other TCGs such as Magic: The Gathering
- Without LKI, cards cannot refer to their field text after they have moved to another zone
- Even if multiple units die simultaneously (such as to Bullet Time), the units with "when a unit dies" effects will not trigger for themselves or other units that died at the same time
