During a showdown, if player A has focus and plays an Action, does priority stay with A or pass to B? After the chain resolves, who gets focus? Also, when does Ravenbloom Student trigger and is it added to the chain, and does it still trigger if the spell is countered?
Ruling: When player A plays an Action during a showdown, they retain priority and can continue playing cards at reaction speed until they pass priority to player B. After the final effect on a chain resolves, focus passes to the next player (the player who did not own the last effect to resolve). Ravenbloom Student triggers after a spell fully...
If you Ride the Wind to leave a contested battlefield and then Ride the Wind back into the same showdown, do you score if you win?

If an opponent plays Void Seeker (dealing 4 damage) on my Thousand Tail Watcher, then plays their own Thousand Tail Watcher (giving -3 might to all units), does my Watcher die?
Ruling: Yes, the Watcher will die. The unit has a 4 damage marker on it, and when the opponent's Thousand Tail Watcher enters and reduces all units' might by 3, your Watcher becomes 4 might (7-3). Since it has 4 damage marked on it and now has 4 might, it dies because damage equals might.
Can I use Gust to return an opponent's 2 might creature to their hand after they play it and pass turn, if it has no on-play ability?
Ruling: No, if the unit doesn't have an on-play ability, there is no reaction window to use Gust after it's played.
When Switcheroo swaps the might of a buffed unit with an opponent's unit, does the buff stay on the original unit, and what happens to the might values?
Ruling: Switcheroo switches current might values between units, but buffs remain on their original units as physical objects. After the swap, the buffed unit retains its buff even though its might has changed.
If Zhonya's Hourglass procs after Watcher has been used on Deadbloom, does Deadbloom recall with 8 Might or 5 Might?
Ruling: Deadbloom recalls with 8 Might (retaining the buff from Watcher). Since Deadbloom never leaves the board when it recalls, any effects on it will remain.
For Baited Hook, does it use the current might or printed might of the killed unit?
Ruling: Baited Hook uses the current might of the unit as it was killed. Nuances: - This is the might value at the time the unit is killed by Baited Hook, not the printed/base might value on the card.
