Can a chain happen outside of the action phase, where players can play reactions (such as with Jinx Legend ability)?
verified
Answer
Ruling: Yes, chains can happen at any time, not just during the action phase. Triggered abilities (identified by "when" or "at") can start a chain, and players can play reactions to anything that enters the chain.
Sequence:
- A triggered ability (like Jinx Legend ability) creates a chain during any phase
- Players can respond with reactions to anything entering the chain
- The chain resolves normally
Nuances:
- Playing permanents cannot be reacted to - permanents enter the chain but no one gets priority before they leave again
- Rune pool empties at the end of draw phase, which is related to chains being able to happen outside the action phase
Does this answer look correct?
