When Gust is used in reaction to Discipline targeting a unit, does Gust resolve first and does the Discipline player still draw a card after their target is returned?

Ruling: When you react with Gust to an opponent's Discipline, Gust resolves first and returns the unit. The opponent still draws a card from Discipline even though the target unit is no longer present.

Sequence:

  • Gust resolves first, returning the unit that was targeted by Discipline
  • Discipline then resolves as much as possible
  • The Discipline player draws 1 card (does not require information about the unit to draw)

Nuances:

  • Spells always resolve as much as possible even if they lose their target
  • The arithmetic value change rules are for simultaneous positive and negative value changes (like Discipline and Smoke Screen used together), not for this interaction
