When using Baited Hook to kill Watchful Sentry (which has a deathknell), what is the order of resolution for the deathknell trigger, the card played from Baited Hook, and Karma's trigger?
Ruling: When Baited Hook kills Watchful Sentry, all pending triggers finalize in the order they went on the chain: deathknell finalizes first, then the unit played with Baited Hook finalizes and resolves immediately, then Karma's trigger finalizes last (and can choose the unit played with Hook).
Sequence:
- Baited Hook ability goes on the chain targeting Sentry
- Baited Hook resolves: controller kills Sentry (deathknell pending), looks at 5 cards, banishes and plays one (that card pending), recycles the rest (Karma trigger pending)
- All pending items finalize in chain order: deathknell first, then the played unit (which resolves immediately, with any WYPM pending), then Karma trigger
- After cleanup, if there's a WYPM it finalizes
- Players get priority between each item resolving on the chain
Nuances:
- Karma can choose the unit played with Baited Hook since it finalizes after that unit
- If the played unit has a WYPM (When You Play Me), it becomes pending on the chain and finalizes after another cleanup step
