Action

Action is a Permissive keyword.

It can be present on Spells, Units, Rune Abilities, Legend Abilities or Permanent Abilities.

Action grants the corresponding card or effect permission to be played or activated during Showdowns, even when it is not the Controlling player's turn.

On Spells and Units: "This can be played during showdowns on any player's turn."

On Rune, Legend, or Permanent Abilities: "This can be activated during showdowns on any player's turn."

The card or effect with this keyword is not restricted to showdowns; this permission is inclusive of all other timings and options available to the ability as written or by default.

Action does not alter the function of any instruction of the corresponding card or effect it is on; it is only permission.

Action is a referencable characteristic; whether or not a Game Object, Spell, or Ability has Action may be checked or referenced by other Game Effects.
