Answer

Ruling: Yes, the opponent can play all three Cleaves (assuming the unit survives) on a unit that was Charmed into battle.

Sequence:

  • Player A plays Charm
  • Player A passes
  • Player B passes
  • Charm resolves, showdown begins
  • Player B has focus first (as the attacking player)
  • Player B plays Cleave and passes
  • Player A passes
  • Cleave resolves
  • Player A passes focus
  • Player B can play another Cleave
  • This repeats until Player B is out of Cleaves or chooses not to play more

Nuances:

  • Player A has focus between each Cleave and can start chains by playing appropriately timed cards or activating abilities
  • Ravenbloom does not trigger from Defied spells
  • Countered spells do not count as being played; cards are considered played after they resolve
