Q. A "Compass Lion" is retired by this effect. What happens to the "At the beginning of your end phase" ability of "Compass Lion"?
A. The ability will not trigger and nothing will happen to "Compass Lion". At the start of the end phase, unlock locked cards first. Following that, automatic abilities that trigger when a card is unlocked will resolve. "At the beginning of your end phase" will then trigger, and resolve. Thus, the ability of "Compass Lion" will not resolve, as this unit is already retired before the timing of "At the beginning of your end phase".
