Unofficial Riftbound rulings for Kennen, Storm of Shuriken, with rules explanations, examples, and Core Rules citations.
Current card text
When you play me, Burn 2. (Put the top 2 cards of your Main Deck into your trash.)
When I conquer, give a spell in your trash Flow equal to its cost this turn. (You may play it from your trash for its Flow cost. Then banish it.)
Can I play a spell at its Action or Reaction timing after Kennen, Storm of Shuriken grants it Flow?
Yes. A spell that Kennen grants Flow keeps its existing timing permissions, whether it has Action, Reaction, or neither. Playing the spell for its Flow cost does not change the timing at which it can be played or any permission except the zone from which it can be played: your trash.
Can Kennen, Storm of Shuriken grant Flow to a spell put into the trash by Minefield's ability triggered by the same conquer?
No. You must choose a spell already in your trash while Kennen's conquer ability is being finalized on the chain.
Kennen's ability and Minefield's ability trigger simultaneously from the same conquer and are added to the chain as pending items. Their order does not change the result because every pending item must be finalized before either ability can resolve. Minefield therefore cannot put its two cards into your trash until after you have chosen a spell for Kennen's ability, and you cannot later change that choice.
