I play Sabotage and my opponent responds with a Thrill of the Hunt, move a unit to an battlefield. What resolves first?
The Thrill of the Hunt resolves first.
Sequence of Events:
- Sabotage is played as an [Action] (Open State). It is placed on the chain as a pending item.
- Thrill of the Hunt is played as a [Reaction] by your opponent in response. Because it is a [Reaction], it is placed on top of the existing chain.
- Chain Resolution (LIFO): The chain resolves in reverse order (Last-In, First-Out).
- Thrill of the Hunt resolves first.
- Sabotage resolves second.
According to Rule 340.1 and the standard LIFO (Last-In, First-Out) resolution of the chain, the newest item added to the chain is always the first to resolve. RiftJudge FAQ #5035 confirms this behavior: "The chain resolves from last to first, meaning the last effect added to the chain resolves first."
