Were that true, wouldn't it be true *regardless* of whether you're
a "play first-er" or a "then play-er"?

For instance, if one of the drawn cards increases the Draw rule by
2, wouldn't the player of the action be ineligible to do so?

It's my belief that Action cards inherently allow you to break the
rules in special ways.
