Does a showdown occur mid-chain if one player moves a unit away from a battlefield and another player reacts by moving a unit to that same battlefield?
Ruling: Showdowns do not occur mid-chain. The chain must fully resolve before a showdown starts.
Sequence:
- Player A uses a spell to move their unit from battlefield back to base
- Player B reacts by moving a unit to the same battlefield
- The chain resolves completely
- After chain resolution, a showdown occurs where Player B attempts to conquer the now-open battlefield while Player A's unit is at base
