The only limits on which spells can be cast are those mentioned in the instructions allowing you to cast a spell*. There's nothing inherent to sorcery cards that restricts them to being cast when the stack is empty.

"Sorcery timing" is merely a limit in which spell priority allows you to cast.

  • Priority gives the option to the player to cast an instant spell.
  • Priority gives the option to the player to cast an noninstant spell if it's his main phase and the stack is empty.

On the other hand,

  • Epic Experiment gives the option to the player to cast certain cards.

Notice that Epic Experiment doesn't impose any conditions based on spell type, so you can indeed cast noninstants even if the stack isn't empty.

(By the way, if you were right, you wouldn't be able to cast any sorcery spells at all using Epic Experiment because Epic Experiment itself is on the stack when it resolves.)

* — Unless a replacement overrides the rules, as usual.




That's interesting, I must have misunderstood the new rules, I thought you could respond to an instant with a sorcery now as long as it was your main phase.

New? I'm not familiar with any change in this area since they got rid of interrupts.

Yeah, you definitely can't do that normally .

Yeah, that's still kind of new to me. I started playing around when Legends came out, but had my cards stolen a couple of times followed by long periods of not playing the game.

This definitely made me appreciate Hypersonic Dragon more.

116.1a A player may cast an instant spell any time he or she has priority. A player may cast a noninstant spell during his or her main phase any time he or she has priority and the stack is empty.


You might consider reading the Comprehensive Rules. (five pages a day, you'll be done in a month)

There's also this shorter text:


Rules Primer for Returning Players

  
   

«Dystocracy : A system of government in which corrupt leadership colludes with dishonest bankers and greedy elites in order to ensure that productive members of society –people who actually do useful work- bear the greatest share of taxes while gaining the least benefit possible.»

Sounds familiar?

I did actually read through the primer and I consult the rules regularly, but the rules are complex enough that it makes it easy to miss a few things.
I believe you were the one who linked it to me then.

But can you cast the spell, let it resolve, and then cast the other spells?


no

Or does the spell allow you to cast a sorcery when the stack is not empty?


yes, it does (provided the sorcery is one of the exiled cards) and it also lets you cast a sorcery when you don't have priority
