Can you use Gust on an opponent's Tideturner after its swap ability resolves to move it to the battlefield?

Ruling: No, you cannot use Gust after Tideturner's triggered ability resolves. Once the ability resolves and the chain is empty, there is no window to play reaction spells.

Sequence:

  • Tideturner is played and its triggered ability goes on the chain
  • The triggered ability is the only item on the chain
  • When it resolves, the units swap positions
  • The chain becomes empty
  • Since the chain is empty, you stop and do not get another window to play reactions

Nuances:

  • Rule 543.4 only applies when there are still items remaining on the chain after something resolves, determining whose priority comes first before the next item resolves
  • Rule 544 is relevant here: when the chain is empty after resolving, you stop repeating the priority windows
