Answer

Ruling: Yes, this is correct. A player can wait until their opponent's spell chain resolves, then gain focus and play their own action spell during the same Showdown.

Sequence:

  • Player moves 2 units to battlefield with opponent's 1 unit, triggering Showdown
  • Player passes without playing anything
  • Opponent plays Zenith Blade and reacts to it with Shen
  • Chain resolves
  • Player gains focus and plays Bullet Time to kill opponent's board

Does this answer look correct?
