If Ravenbloom Student is at 3 might and an opponent targets it with Hextech Ray (dealing 3 damage), can the controller activate a spell in response to trigger Ravenbloom Student's ability and gain +1 might before Hextech Ray resolves and kills it?
Ruling: Yes, Ravenbloom Student triggers and gains +1 might before Hextech Ray resolves, allowing it to survive at 4 might when the 3 damage is dealt.
Sequence:
- Hextech Ray is activated targeting Ravenbloom Student
- Player A activates a spell in response (e.g., Consult the Past)
- The spell resolves
- Ravenbloom Student's "play a spell" trigger goes on the chain
- Ravenbloom trigger resolves, granting +1 might
- Hextech Ray resolves, dealing 3 damage to the now 4-might Student
