If Teemo Strategist reveals Nocturne from the top of the deck, can Nocturne be played with his ability, or does Teemo's effect override it and recycle Nocturne?

Question

Accepted Answer

Ruling: When Teemo Strategist reveals Nocturne from the top of your deck, you can play Nocturne with his ability instead of recycling him.

Sequence:
- Reveal Nocturne with Teemo Strategist
- Play Nocturne with his effect
- You can shortcut by setting Nocturne aside to play after resolving Teemo, instead of bottoming him and then retrieving him from the bottom
