Does Rek'Sai's legend ability trigger Fresh Beans when you play a unit from it?

Ruling: No. Fresh Beans requires you to play a unit during a showdown, but Rek'Sai's Void Burrower ability triggers during the Resolution Step after conquering a battlefield. By that time, the showdown has already closed.

Sequence:

  • The combat showdown closes after the combat chain resolves and before the Combat Damage Step
  • Conquering occurs during the Resolution Step
  • Rek'Sai's ability triggers and allows you to play a unit
  • Since the showdown is no longer active, Fresh Beans' trigger condition is not met
