If all of a player's units are removed from a battlefield during a showdown, does that player still receive focus and priority, and do they still control the battlefield?

Ruling: Yes to both. Even if all units are removed during a showdown, the player still receives focus and priority, and they retain control of the battlefield.

Sequence:

• Combat/showdown does not end until focus is passed consecutively by all players
• Control of the battlefield is retained until end of combat
• Players can still play cards (like Recruit the Vanguard) to create units on that battlefield during the showdown

Nuances:

• Units being removed from a battlefield during combat does not immediately end the combat or change battlefield control
