Answer

Ruling: Hidden cards get cleaned up after you lose control of the battlefield, which happens after combat resolves.

Sequence:

  • Player can use Ezreal's action ability to recall during the showdown
  • The hidden Tideturner remains available during the showdown
  • Player can flip Tideturner during that showdown to bring Ezreal back
  • Hidden cards are trashed after the combat resolves

Nuances:

  • Even though Ezreal can be brought back with Tideturner during the showdown, his "When I attack/defend" triggered ability will not trigger again because those abilities only trigger the first time a unit gains attacker/defender in that combat
