Answer

Ruling: Hidden cards follow the same rules as regular reaction speed cards. They cannot be played in response to permanents without a trigger (such as units without WYPM effects).

Nuances:

  • Hidden cards literally gain the reaction keyword
  • They must wait until the next turn after being set to become usable
  • They get appended with the battlefield they are on for targeting purposes
  • They can respond to units with WYPM effects because those create triggers on the chain
