Can Baited Hook be used during a showdown to play Noxus Hopeful into a contested battlefield?

Ruling: Baited Hook cannot be used during a showdown because it is base speed, not action speed. Additionally, units can only be played into a battlefield you control, not a contested one.

Sequence:

• Baited Hook must be used at base speed (outside of showdowns)
• Units can only be played to battlefields you control
• During a showdown, neither base speed abilities nor playing units into contested battlefields is allowed

Nuances:

• The illegal play attempted to combine multiple rule violations: using a base speed ability during a showdown and playing a unit into a contested battlefield
