If an opponent moves to an occupied base, passes it, and the defender uses Rebuke, can the opponent use Challenge before Rebuke resolves?

Ruling: No, once Rebuke is on the chain, only reactions can be used. Actions can only be played after the chain resolves completely.

Sequence:

  • Rebuke is played and goes on the chain
  • Only reactions can be played while the chain exists
  • The chain resolves completely
  • Actions can be played again, but the unit targeted by Rebuke is already gone

Nuances:

  • Even after the chain resolves, Challenge cannot target the unit because Rebuke's effect has already removed it
