Does Jinx Legend's ability trigger and open a chain at the start of the Beginning Phase even when the player has more than 1 card in hand, allowing them to play cards and potentially draw if they meet the condition after resolving those cards?

Ruling: Jinx Legend's ability triggers at the start of your Beginning Phase regardless of how many cards are in your hand, opening a chain. The condition of having 1 or fewer cards is checked on resolution, not when triggering. This allows players to play reactions during the chain and potentially meet the draw condition before the ability resolves.

Sequence:

• At start of Beginning Phase, Jinx Legend's ability triggers and opens a chain
• Players can respond with reactions/cards
• On resolution, check if you have 1 or fewer cards in hand
• If condition is met, draw 1 card
• This all happens before channeling a rune or drawing normally

Nuances:

• The wording "At start of your Beginning Phase, draw 1 if you have 1 or fewer cards" causes the ability to trigger based on timing, with the card count condition checked on resolution
• If it were worded "At the start of your beginning phase while you have 1 or fewer cards in your hand, draw 1" it would only trigger when the condition is already met
• A player with 6 cards could theoretically play reactions down to 1 card and still get the draw, all before the normal draw step
