Can I banish Time Warp with Virtuoso (Jhin's Legend card)?

Answer
Ruling: No, you cannot use Virtuoso's ability to banish Time Warp. Virtuoso's "when you play a spell" trigger only occurs after the spell has resolved, at which point Time Warp has already banished itself as part of its own resolution.
Sequence:
- You play Time Warp and it goes on the chain
- Time Warp resolves, executing its text from top to bottom
- Time Warp queues an extra turn and banishes itself
- After Time Warp finishes resolving, Virtuoso's trigger condition is met
- Virtuoso's ability triggers, but Time Warp is already in the Banishment zone and cannot be targeted
Nuances:
- "Play" effect triggers occur after a card is resolved, not when it is initially placed on the chain
- Time Warp's self-banishment is part of its resolution, not a separate effect
- The chain resolves in Last-In, First-Out order, but this doesn't apply here since Virtuoso's trigger happens after resolution
