Answer

Ruling: Chains resolve last-in, first-out (LIFO), meaning the most recently added effect resolves first.

Sequence:

  • Player plays an ability or effect
  • Opponent responds with their own ability or effect (added to the chain)
  • The most recent effect (opponent's response) resolves first
  • Then the original effect resolves

Nuances:

  • This is similar to a "stack" system in other card games
  • Players can continue adding to the chain before anything resolves
  • Once both players pass priority, the chain begins resolving from top to bottom
