Can you play spells that are neither action nor reaction (like Cull the Weak) during a showdown on your turn?
Ruling: You cannot play spells that are neither action nor reaction during a showdown, even on your turn. These spells can only be played during your turn, out of showdown, when the chain is empty.
Sequence:
- Must be during your turn
- Must be out of showdown
- Must be when the chain is empty
Nuances:
- Cards with "action" timing can be played during a showdown
- Cards with "reaction" timing can be played anytime you're given priority
- Main timing spells are restricted to your main phase only
