Can I use Togashi's "Open" ability on my opponent's turn to draw a card (without being able to look at the top card)? It's not clear to me if the entire ability or only the first portion is tied to it being my turn.

I would say that you can only do the whole thing, or nothing, and so therefore only on your turn.
Agreed. I believe it can only be done on your turn. The "If it is your turn" is a condition that has to be met.

Thank you both. Is there a reason this isn't a Limited action?

You know, that's a good question, actually. Because in the latter sets they specifically call out Battle, or Open/Battle actions.

This might be a question for @Brook Cunningham.

Or @Alex Jones .
Because there was idea to remove Limited designator from ruleset and leave with Battle and Open actions. So some abilities became Open but on your turn only.

Hunh. Didn't know that.

Reese is an idiot.

Yeah, that might have simplified too much.
