Do "when you play me" abilities still resolve if the unit is killed by a reaction to the ability?

Ruling: Yes, "when you play me" abilities still resolve even if the unit is killed by a reaction to the ability.

Nuances:

  • Parts of the effect might fail to resolve if they reference the unit itself (such as "this unit" or location references like "here")
  • Effects that don't reference the unit that created them will fully resolve
