If Overzealous Fan kills itself during a combat showdown to push the enemy unit back, does Purple Draven still score a point when the combat ends?

Answer

Ruling: Yes, Purple Draven still scores a point. A showdown's combat/non-combat status is determined at the start and cannot change mid-showdown.

Sequence:

  • Showdown begins as a combat showdown (enemy unit is present)
  • Overzealous Fan kills itself, pushing enemy unit back
  • Showdown remains a combat showdown despite no enemy units being present
  • Purple Draven scores a point when the combat showdown ends

Nuances:

  • A showdown is combat if there were units controlled by another player when it started, regardless of what happens during the showdown
  • A non-combat showdown ending can cause a staged combat to begin, but this doesn't happen mid-showdown
