Answer

Ruling: Base speed, action, and reaction only determine when you can play something, not the order anything resolves. The order things resolve is Last In First Out (LIFO) off the chain - the last thing to go onto the chain will be the first thing to resolve.

Sequence:

  • When combat starts, the chain is initially populated with "when I attack" triggers
  • Then "when I defend" triggers are added
  • Then both players can play reactions
  • Once everyone passes, the chain starts resolving with the latest played item first

Nuances:

  • You cannot play an action after an ability has already gone on the chain
  • If multiple cards are discarded simultaneously, you choose the order their effects go on the chain
