Answer

Ruling: Playing Tideturner starts a chain which immediately resolves since you cannot react to permanents (units or gear). After Tideturner is in play, its play effect triggers on a new chain to which players can react.

Sequence:

  • Tideturner is played from hidden as a reaction, starting a chain
  • This chain immediately resolves (no reactions possible to permanents)
  • Tideturner is now in play
  • Tideturner's play effect triggers on a new chain
  • The player who played Tideturner gets priority first and can play reactions
  • Once they pass, the next player can put reactions on top

Nuances:

  • You cannot react to permanents being played (units or gear)
