Is the first friendly unit on Deathgrip a cost or a target?
A target. It is chosen with the other friendly unit and killed as the spell resolves. If it doesn’t actually die, the other unit gets no Might. You still draw 1.
Explanation & source
Errata rewrote Deathgrip as “Kill a friendly unit. If you do, give +Might equal to its Might to another friendly unit this turn.” with “Draw 1.” on its own line.
