Answer

Ruling: A showdown does not close immediately when there are no units on the battlefield. It still requires all players to pass in a row (instead of starting a chain) before it closes.

Sequence:

  • Player 1 attacks Player 2 on Reaver's row
  • Player 2 uses reaver's ability (removing units)
  • Player 1 passes
  • Player 2 can still play a spell with action/reaction speed (like Rebuke)
  • Showdown closes only after all players pass in succession

Does this answer look correct?
