Answer

Ruling: Yes, the opponent can use the drawn Defy on Smoke Screen. Players get reaction windows at each chain link as it resolves, not just when the entire chain resolves.

Sequence:

  • Player plays Smoke Screen, starting a chain
  • Opponent reacts with Discipline (chain is now: Smoke Screen > Discipline)
  • Chain begins resolving with Discipline (the last item added)
  • Discipline resolves: a unit gets +2 and draws Defy
  • Priority passes to players for reactions before the next chain link resolves
  • The opponent can now play the drawn Defy to react to Smoke Screen
  • If both players pass, Smoke Screen would then resolve

Nuances:

  • The chain resolves one link at a time, not all at once
  • Players get reaction windows after each individual chain link resolves, before moving to the next link
