After playing reactions to buff a card during Showdown, can an opponent play an action when priority passes back to them?
Ruling: Yes, if there is a Showdown active, your opponent can play an action when priority passes back to them.
Sequence:
- You play your reactions to buff a card
- The reactions resolve (chain ends)
- Priority passes back to your opponent
- Your opponent can start a new chain by playing an action
- Showdown only ends after all players pass in succession without starting a chain
Nuances:
- Multiple chains can occur within the same Showdown
- This only applies during Showdown; the ability to respond depends on whether Showdown is active
