If I retreat my own Viktor Innovator to my hand with Retreat on my opponent's turn, do I get the 1 might recruit?

Ruling: You do not get the 1 might recruit. When Retreat finishes resolving and is considered played, Viktor is already in your hand and cannot trigger.

Sequence:

  • Retreat is put on chain
  • Retreat starts executing and returns Viktor to hand
  • Retreat finishes resolving and goes to the trash (this is when it's considered as played)
  • Viktor is now in hand and can't trigger

Nuances:

  • This was ruled incorrectly by a judge on stream at SCG Vegas
