I have no cards in my library, Megrim field and Runehorn Hellkite in the graveyard. My opponent has 17 cards in the hand and 16 life. If i activate the Hellkite who loses first?
In this situation you lose.
While Megrim will indeed trigger from your opponent discarding when you activate Runehorn Hellkite's ability, but before the abilities can even go on the stack you have to finish resolving the Hellkite's ability. So you will be forced to try to draw from an empty library. This will cause you to lose the game before the Megrim's abilities go on the stack, let alone begin resolving.
Hope that helps.
