If my opponent attacks with Kaisa and I decline to trigger Reavers Row, then they use Flight or Fight on my Darius and it resolves, can I use Ride the Wind to have Darius attack again in the same combat? And can my opponent trigger Reavers Row at that point?

Ruling: You can use Ride the Wind after Flight or Fight resolves to have Darius attack again in the same combat, and your opponent cannot trigger Reavers Row because they are still the attackers in this combat.

Sequence:

  • Opponent attacks with Kaisa, you decline Reavers Row trigger
  • Opponent uses Flight or Fight on Darius, it resolves
  • Combat is still in the showdown phase (does not end until both players sequentially pass focus without creating a new chain)
  • You can start a new chain with Ride the Wind to have Darius attack
  • Opponent cannot use Reavers Row because it already triggered when Darius was first designated a defender and was declined

Nuances:

  • Reavers Row triggers when a unit is designated as a defender, which happened at the start of combat and was declined
  • The showdown phase continues as long as players keep creating new chains
  • The opponent remains the attacker throughout this combat even after Darius attacks back
