If my opponent has Mask of Foresight and one unit on the battlefield, and I attack with Yasuo Remorseful, does the opponent's unit gain the +1 might before the damage is dealt from Yasuo? Is this different than if the unit just had shield?

Question

Accepted Answer

Ruling: When you attack with Yasuo Remorseful against an opponent with Mask of Foresight, Yasuo's trigger goes on the chain first, then Mask of Foresight triggers. Mask of Foresight resolves first (giving +1 might), then Yasuo's damage resolves. This is different from shield, which is active the moment combat starts without using the chain.

Sequence:
- Yasuo Remorseful's trigger goes onto the chain
- Mask of Foresight's trigger goes onto the chain
- Mask of Foresight resolves first (unit gains +1 might)
- Yasuo's damage resolves
- Combat occurs

Nuances:
- The ordering is based on attacker triggers then defender triggers, where attacker/defender refers to the player, not the specific units
- Shield works differently - it becomes active when combat starts without using the chain
- After triggers resolve, the attacker gets priority to respond
