When Tideturner is played from hidden as a reaction, does its 'on play' effect trigger on the same chain or a new chain?
Ruling: Playing Tideturner starts a chain which immediately resolves since you cannot react to permanents (units or gear). After Tideturner is in play, its play effect triggers on a new chain to which players can react.
Sequence:
- Tideturner is played from hidden as a reaction, starting a chain
- This chain immediately resolves (no reactions possible to permanents)
- Tideturner is now in play
- Tideturner's play effect triggers on a new chain
- The player who played Tideturner gets priority first and can play reactions
- Once they pass, the next player can put reactions on top
Nuances:
- You cannot react to permanents being played (units or gear)
