Answer

Ruling: After the errata, Nocturne's ability is no longer a triggered ability with "when" timing. He gets banished when revealed, and you can play him for a power, but it doesn't need to happen immediately.

Sequence:

  • Nocturne is revealed
  • He gets banished
  • The ability that caused you to find him finishes resolving
  • You can then play him for a power

Nuances:

  • The ability no longer uses "when" so it's not a triggered ability that must resolve immediately
  • Once he begins the process of playing himself, that does use the chain

Does this answer look correct?
