Spells, the chain and timing
Spells and abilities go on the chain, and the last one added resolves first.
- Your Reaction
- Their Reaction
- Your spell
Resolves firstPlayed first
When you play a spell, your opponent can respond with a Reaction. Reactions stack on top and resolve first. When everyone passes, the chain resolves from the top down.
On your turn, outside showdowns, you can play anything. During a showdown only Action and Reaction cards can be played, and while the chain is open only Reactions.
Key points
- Action: can be played during showdowns (CR 806).
- Reaction: can be played while the chain is open, on any turn (CR 813).
- Priority passes after each item resolves (CR 335).
