Can you play a card in a showdown after damage is dealt but before combat ends?
verified
Answer
Ruling: You can only play cards after combat damage if there is a triggered ability that results from the combat damage. If no triggered ability occurs, the showdown ends immediately.
Sequence:
- Combat damage is dealt
- All units heal
- If triggered abilities exist from the damage, they are added to the chain and players can respond
- If no triggered abilities exist, the showdown ends
Nuances:
- A common example is flipping a hidden Teemo in response to a Deathknell trigger to stage a new showdown
- Effects like Kog'Maw's triggered ability are added to the chain after units have already healed, so he cannot finish off units damaged in combat
