When an effect like Baited Hook kills a Deathknell unit and hits a unit with WYPM in the same effect, do the pending items get added in the order the instructions happened, or are they considered simultaneous?
Ruling: Different instructions inside the same effect happen sequentially for the purpose of adding pending items to the chain. The Deathknell trigger becomes pending before the WYPM unit becomes pending, even though they're part of the same effect.
Sequence:
- Baited Hook resolves, killing the Deathknell unit first, then revealing the WYPM unit
- The Deathknell trigger becomes pending first, then the unit becomes pending
- During cleanup, they finalize in that order: Deathknell becomes chain item 1, unit becomes chain item 2
- The unit auto-resolves, triggering WYPM which becomes chain item 3
- Final chain order is: Deathknell > WYPM
- These resolve in reverse order (WYPM first, then Deathknell)
