Can you play hidden cards the same turn you hide them?
verified
Answer
Ruling: You cannot play hidden cards the same turn you hide them. You can only play them beginning on the next turn at reaction speed, ignoring their base cost.
Sequence:
- When you hide a card, it goes facedown to the battlefield
- During the turn you hide it, you cannot play it
- Beginning on the next turn, the card gains [Reaction] and you may play it, ignoring its base cost
Nuances:
- By default, you can only play cards from your hand or champion zone, not facedown cards
- The Hidden ability grants permission to play the facedown card, but only starting the turn after you hide it
- [Reaction] means you can use it any time you would be able to use a reaction spell/ability (your turn, during a showdown, or after someone plays a spell or activates an effect)
- You can play the card from hand for its full cost to get the effect immediately instead of hiding it
