If I cast a spell during another player's turn, who gets priority afterward?

you
but a shortcut is assumed that you pass that priority, if you want to keep it, speak up

however, after a spell or ability resolves the active player gets priority, no matter who controlled the spell or ability

The spell's controller. (That's the only exception to AP gets priorty first, I believe.)

601.2h Once the steps described in 601.2a–g are completed, the spell becomes cast. Any abilities that trigger when a spell is cast or put onto the stack trigger at this time. If the spell’s controller had priority before casting it, he or she gets priority.

in the tournament rules: www.wizards.com/wpn/Document.aspx?x=Magi...

Whenever a player adds an object to the stack, he or she is assumed to be passing priority unless he or she explicitly announces that he or she intends to retain it. If he or she adds a group of objects to the stack without explicitly retaining priority and a player wishes to take an action at a point in the middle, the actions should be reversed up to that point.

In the tournament rules.


From the MTR:

4.2. Tournament Shortcuts 

Whenever a player adds an object to the stack, he or she is assumed to be passing priority unless he or she explicitly announces that he or she intends to retain it. If he or she adds a group of objects to the stack without explicitly retaining priority and a player wishes to take an action at a point in the middle, the actions should be reversed up to that point.

Do keep in mind that while casual games of magic should (and do) take cues from the tournament rules, they are in no way bound by them.

If who has priority matters during a casual game, the polite thing to do would be to ask for clarification rather than assuming that the other player passed because he didn't speak up.

On the other hand, I fully agree with everyone here that it's in one's best interest to make it a habit to speak up when you want to retain priority.

Wait, what?

If he or she adds a group of objects to the stack without explicitly retaining priority and a player wishes to take an action at a point in the middle, the actions should be reversed up to that point.




How is putting multiple objects on the stack in succession not explicitly retaining priority? Shouldn't the fact that you immediately put another object on the stack be evidence that you rejected the assumed shortcut?

no, you have to speak up after every spell/ability
in a casual setting it can be more relaxed, but this is the official way to do it
