Answer

Ruling: Yes, you can play a Reaction spell in response to Snapvine's trigger to buff its might before the ability resolves. However, your opponent can also play Reactions in response.

Sequence:

  • Snapvine is played
  • Trigger is created for its ability
  • You can play a Reaction in response (and so can your opponent)
  • The Reaction resolves first, then Snapvine's ability resolves

Nuances:

  • Non-Reaction spells (like Primal Strength) cannot be played on the chain after the trigger
  • Reactions that reduce might (like Smokescreen) can lower the damage dealt by Snapvine
