1136244:4. The opponent has priority because he played the last card on a currently open chain, so he could announce Tristan is using protector. He exhausts tristan. You would then have your first opportunity to put hammer of justice on the chain. Hammer would resolve first, but Tristan is already exhausted, so it doesn't matter. He still protects.
4) After all players pass in succession, the card/effect most recently added to the chain resolves, then the TURN PLAYER gets the stick, regardless of whose card/effect just resolved, or what else is still on the chain.
I know SirJudic mentioned this, but I just wanted to make sure people realize that after one step on the chain resolves the Turn player gets priority, not the last person to play a card on the chain. So priority would go to to Leeroy's controller.
Quote from the rulebook:
"If the chain is empty and two players want to do something at the same time, the turn player (the
person whose turn it is) gets to act first. In a multiplayer game, the person to the turn player’s left
gets to act next, and so on.
If the chain has a card or effect on it and two players want to do something at the same time, the
player who added the last thing to the chain gets to act first, then the person to that player’s left,
and so on."
Doesn't this mean if something resolves from the chain but there's more cards left on the chain, priority goes to the player who put the last card on the chain?
