Answer

Ruling: Yes, after one chain resolves during a showdown, a player can start another chain with an Action or Reaction spell. Each player will have an opportunity to play Action cards during a showdown.

Sequence:

  • Showdown begins
  • Attacker has Priority and Focus, can start a chain with an Action or Reaction spell
  • Priority passes to defender who can cast Reaction spells or pass
  • When both players pass, the chain resolves
  • Focus and Priority passes to the other player who can now start a new chain with an Action or Reaction spell
  • This continues until both players pass Focus in a row, then combat damage resolves

Nuances:

  • Both players need to pass Focus in a row to move to combat damage resolution
  • The player with Focus can start a new chain with Action or Reaction spells after the previous chain resolves
