At the risk of tanuki ridiculing me, I'm going to ask this question

Jan 24, 2013 -- 10:21AM, Enigma256 wrote:

here is how priority happens when Orim's Chant is cast on the upkeep and assuming no responses

Upkeep starts
opponent gets priority, passes
you get priority, cast Orim's Chant
you get priority again, pass it
opponent gets priority, passes, Orim's Chant resolves
opponent gets priority, passes
you get priority, pass it
upkeep step ends, draw step begins

no sane person would acknowledge all those priority changes, that's where shortcuts come in




I think I've been playing the stack wrong all this time. Though, I can't remember a time in which this mattered. I've always thought that priority automatically changed after a spell was cast.

So, could I cast a spell
get priority and cast another spell
get priority and cast another spell
get priority and then pass?

I'm going to scan through the bajillion pages of rules to help cement this in my mind but could anyone give me a section number to speed things along?

yes, after you cast a spell you get priority again
it is assumed that you pass that priority as a shortcut, so you haven't really been playing wrong, just efficient

relevant rules Show
116.3. Which player has priority is determined by the following rules:
116.3a The active player receives priority at the beginning of most steps and phases, after any turn-based actions (such as drawing a card during the draw step; see rule 703) have been dealt with and abilities that trigger at the beginning of that phase or step have been put on the stack. No player receives priority during the untap step. Players usually don’t get priority during the cleanup step (see rule 514.3).
116.3b The active player receives priority after a spell or ability (other than a mana ability) resolves.
116.3c If a player has priority when he or she casts a spell, activates an ability, or takes a special action, that player receives priority afterward.
116.3d If a player has priority and chooses not to take any actions, that player passes. If any mana is in that player’s mana pool, he or she announces what mana is there. Then the next player in turn order receives priority.

I think it may be best to move on past any non rules arguments. At least in this thread.

Kovacs started with such a friendly "hi all" and we've turned it into something else.

Indeed!
@Tanuki: I'd still recommend brushing up on your bedside manners, though.

A phase/step does not, and cannot end unless the stack is empty and all players pass priority while it's empty.

Funny story:
InQuest Magazine (I think it was InQuest) had an oversized Chaos Orb which I totally rooked someone into allowing into a (non-sanctioned) game. 
I had a proxy card that was a Mountain with "Chaos Orb" written on it. When I played it, my opponent cried foul:

Him: "WTF? a Proxy? no-one said anything about Proxies. Do you even own an actual Chaos Orb?"
Me: "Yes, but I thought it would be better to use a Proxy." 
Him: "No way. If you're going to put a Chaos Orb in your deck you have to use your actual Chaos Orb."
Me: "*Sigh*. Okay."

I pulled out this huge Chaos Orb and placed it on the table. He tried to cry foul again but everyone else said he insisted I use my actual Chaos Orb and that was my actual Chaos Orb. I used it, flipped it and wiped most of his board.

Unsurprisingly, that only worked once and only because everyone present thought it was hilarious.

no, see i can kill defenders, but 8 consecutive crits on a battlemind, eh walk it off.

Hi guys!  So, I'm a sort of returning player to Magic.  I say sort of because as a child I had two main TCG's I liked.  Yu-Gi-Oh, and Pokemon.  Some of my friends branched off in to Magic, and I bought two pre-made decks just to kind of fit in.  Like I said, Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon were what I really knew how to play.  I have a extensive knowledge of deck building in those two TCG's.  However, as far as Magic is concerned, I only ever used those two pre made decks.  I know how the game is played, and I know general things, but now I want to get in the game for real.  I want to begin playing it as a regular.  My question is, are all cards ever released from the time of the inception of this game until present day fair game in a deck?  Or are there special rules?  Are some cards forbidden or restricted?  Thanks guys, and I will gladly accept ANY help lol.

That's what RPJesus tends to do. That's why I don't think he's a real person, but some Magic Card Archive Server sort of machine, that is programmed to react to other posters' comments with obscure cards that do in fact exist, but somehow missed by even the most experienced Magic players.

And then come up with strange combos with said cards. All of that is impossible for a normal human to do given the amount of time he does it and how often he does it.

He/It got me with Light of Sanction , which prompted me to go to RQ&A to try and find if it was even possible to do combat damage to a creature I control (in light that Mark of Asylum exists).

Initially yes, Wizards was married to blue. However, about a decade ago they had a nasty divorce, and a few years after that they began courting the attention of Green. Then in Worldwake they had a nasty affair with their ex, but as of Innistrad , things seem to have gotten back on track, and Wizards has even proposed .

While we are on the subject of timing, costs are paid as you put something on the stack. This means they can happen far before they resolve. This is sometimes very important.

My favorite example is a murderous redcap with a -1/-1 counter on it, with its ability on the stack, a power conduit in play, and it being targetted by a lightning bolt .

Stack looks like this,
1) when muderous redcap comes into play it does damage equal to its power to target creature or player.

2) deal 3 damage to target creature (redcap).

If you let the lightning bolt resolve it will kill the redcap which will not persist back because it had a -1/-1 counter on it and then when the come into play redcap trigger resolved it would do 1 damage using last known information.

However if you add the power conduit trigger to the stack on top of the lightning bolt you both remove the -1/-1 counter, and after it resolves add a +1/+1 counter. Thus the redcap will persist back and even after the lightning bolt kills it will do 3 damage using last known information.

Now You can also have the stack set up as,
1) when muderous redcap comes into play it does damage equal to its power to target creature or player.

2) remove a -1/-1 counter from: add a +1/+1 counter to target creature.

3) deal 3 damage to target creature (redcap).

In this case the redcap removed the counter as a cost so the redcap will persist back but its last known information was that it had 2 power bcause the lightning bolt kills it before the +1/+1 resolved so when the come into play trigger happens it does 2 damage.
