Answer

Ruling: You cannot play a reaction to Brynhir herself being played (she resolves immediately as a unit), but you can play a reaction to her play effect when it's on the chain.

Sequence:

  • Brynhir is played and resolves immediately to the battlefield
  • Her play effect goes on the chain
  • Reactions can be played in response to the play effect on the chain
  • Once the play effect resolves, no more cards can be played that turn

Nuances:

  • Units resolve as soon as they're finalized to the chain, so the unit itself cannot be reacted to
  • The play effect lingers on the chain separately and can be reacted to
