Lonely Poro and hidden card at my battlefield; opponent Ruination. Can I react with Shen?
I have Soraka, Wanderer in base with other lower-Might friendly units and a Zhonya's Hourglass. I cast The Ruination on my units at base. Can I use Zhonya's Hourglass to replace Soraka's death first, then use Soraka's ability to replace the deaths of my other units at base?
A player asked whether Unyielding Spirit keeps all their units alive or whether units still die to Ruination through non-damaging means. Does Unyielding Spirit prevent units from being destroyed by Ruination?
