Does Viktor's ability trigger if he and another non-Recruit unit die simultaneously from the same spell?

Ruling: Viktor's ability does not trigger if he and another non-Recruit unit die at the same time from the same spell or game action.

Sequence:

  • Viktor's ability only triggers when he is on the board immediately after another non-Recruit unit dies
  • If Viktor leaves the board at the same time as the other unit, he cannot evaluate his trigger condition
  • The ability is only active while Viktor is on the Board zone, not in Trash

Nuances:

  • This applies to any simultaneous death effect, such as both units being killed in the same Cleanup due to damage from a card like Unchecked Power
