Answer

Ruling: Yes, your opponent gets a focus window after Retreat resolves, and if they pass, you get another focus window. Both players must pass focus consecutively before the showdown can end.

Sequence:

  • Opponent uses Primal Strength on their focus
  • You use Retreat on your focus
  • After the chain finishes resolving, opponent gets a focus window
  • If opponent passes, you get a focus window
  • If you pass, then showdown ends

Nuances:

  • After any chain finishes resolving, both players must pass focus consecutively before showdown can end
