Astral Bridge (Red)

Put the top card of your deck into your graveyard. If it's an instant, you may play it this turn.

Starfall - If an instant has been put into your graveyard this turn, deal 1 arcane damage to target hero.

Rulings

From the Omens of the Third Age release notes

When Astral Bridge’s first ability resolves, you will put the top card of your deck into your graveyard. If that card has the instant type, you may play it from your graveyard this turn.
Astral Bridge’s Starfall ability generates a targeted effect: You must target any hero when playing Astral Bridge regardless of whether a card with the instant type has been put into your graveyard this turn. You will deal that targeted hero 1 arcane damage when Astral Bridge resolves if you’ve met its Starfall condition.
While resolving Astral Bridge, this can cause an instant card to be put into the graveyard from the top of your deck and therefore meet the condition of its Starfall ability if you had not yet put an instant card into your graveyard this turn.
When resolving Astral Bridge, there is no priority between any of the effects generated (e.g. putting the top card into the graveyard, dealing arcane damage).

Keyword notes

Starfall - If an instant has been put into your graveyard this turn, [EFFECT].

Starfall is a label keyword.
Starfall abilities in Omens of the Third Age are resolution abilities that are conditioned on whether or not an instant has been put into your graveyard this turn. Whether or not you meet the condition is checked when you begin to generate the effect, typically when the card begins to resolve.
Some Starfall abilities are targeted effects. If you play a card with a Starfall ability that generates a targeted effect, you must target the required object when playing the card regardless of whether a card with the instant type has been put into your graveyard this turn. Doing so will add the played card to the stack. Whether or not you meet the Starfall condition is checked when the card begins to resolve and you generate the Starfall effect. When the card resolves, if you meet the Starfall condition, you will generate the effect involving the targeted object.
When a card resolves on the stack, unless a rule or effect allows it to become a permanent in the arena or a defending card on the combat chain, it will clear the stack and be moved to graveyard once it is finished resolving. This will not cause the effect from the Starfall ability on that card to be retroactively generated if its condition wasn’t met before then.
