FAQ #8894·April 9, 2026·Rules v1.4·Asked before Vendetta
Answer
No, "When I move" abilities do not resolve instantly.
According to the rules and FAQs regarding movement:
- Movement itself is instantaneous: Per Rule 424.3, moving is instantaneous and does not use the chain.
- "When I move" triggers create a chain: Per the FAQ, "When I move" is a triggered ability that is placed on the chain. This gives players an opportunity to react to the trigger once it is on the chain.
- Resolution: Because these triggers are placed on the chain, they must resolve according to standard chain resolution rules (LIFO - Last In, First Out). They do not resolve instantly at the moment the move occurs.
Additionally, per the FAQ regarding "When I move" triggers and combat:
- These triggers are finalized during the cleanup phase after a move.
- If a move triggers an ability, the chain must be empty before any staged Showdown or Combat can begin.
