When two showdowns are triggered in sequence (one from moving a unit to a battlefield, then another from Zenith Blade moving a unit away), which battlefield is scored first?
Ruling: When Zenith Blade creates a new showdown while another showdown is already in progress, the original showdown resolves completely before the new one begins. The battlefield where the first showdown was triggered scores first.
Sequence:
- Player 1 moves unit to BF B, opening a showdown there
- Player 2 plays Zenith Blade, moving their unit from BF B to BF A (creating a pending combat)
- The showdown at BF B resolves first
- Then the showdown at BF A resolves
Nuances:
- To score an 8th point by conquering, a player must have scored (held or conquered) all battlefields that turn
- A player still controls a battlefield while it's being contested
- Control status doesn't matter for winning; only whether you've scored all battlefields matters
