Answer

Ruling: You cannot tap mana runes in the middle of resolving Stacked Deck. You pay for cards (like Nocturne) while finalizing after Stacked Deck is fully resolved.

Sequence:

  • Stacked Deck resolves completely
  • You finalize and pay for any cards you want to play (like Nocturne)
  • During finalization, you can tap mana runes, float mana, and recycle

Nuances:

  • You technically need to tap mana in reaction to something, not in the middle of an ability resolving
  • When paying for a card like Nocturne after Stacked Deck, you can tap runes, float mana, then recycle before playing the card

Does this answer look correct?
