If Adaptatron kills an Honest Broker and conquers, can he destroy the gold created by the broker's Deathknell?

Ruling: Yes, Adaptatron can destroy the Gold gear token created by Honest Broker's Deathknell.

Sequence:

• Adaptatron wins combat against Honest Broker
• Deathknell triggers become pending in the combat damage step
• Deathknell triggers resolve at the end of the Combat Special Cleanup
• The Gold gear token is created and enters play
• Combat result is determined (Adaptatron conquers)
• Adaptatron's "when I conquer" ability triggers and can now target the Gold gear token that already exists on the board

Nuances:

• The key timing detail is that Deathknell triggers resolve during Combat Special Cleanup, which occurs before the Determine Combat Result step where conquering happens
• This is similar to the timing interaction with Glasc Mixologist
