    Start of the turn actions

    Reply Quote
    This question is about the actions that happen at the start of the turn and the effect wavestorm totem has .
     
    Wavestorm Totem
     
    2 Cost 1 Health
    Ongoing: When an opposing ability, ally, or equipment readies, put it into its owner's hand. (Totems can be attacked or targeted like allies.)
     
    So at the start of your turn once every things readies do you have the opportunity to react to any effects before they trigger like a Wavestorm ?
     
    Thanks

    501.1a    As a ready step starts, the turn player readies all physically exhausted cards in play he or she controls. Any modifiers created “as [that turn] starts” are also created simultaneously. None of this uses the chain. Next, a priority window opens. As that window closes, the ready step ends.


    You can play an instant card or use the power of a card in play you control, and add its effect to the chain. It will resolve before the effect of Wavestorm Totem but it won't stop its effect because it was already in the chain.
    So, you can respond to the triggering of Wavestorm Totem but not before it triggers.
    The only thing I win is honor...

    an interesting question, and not one that I can give a definite answer to. As far as I understand everything that happens in the game get's added to the chain and priority is passed. But for an effect like wavestorm, I believe the ready step happens before the step in which you can play cards, so I don't believe you have the opportunity to react? unless possibly you had resources left over and you have an instant?

    I'd like to know the answer to this too because this has come up in a couple games I've had
