When Embermonk's trigger occurs with Switcheroo, does the power swap happen before or after Embermonk gets +2 might?

Ruling: Switcheroo fully resolves first (swapping the powers), then Embermonk's trigger goes on the chain and gives it +2 might.

Sequence:

  • Switcheroo is played and must fully resolve
  • The power swap occurs
  • After Switcheroo has fully resolved, Embermonk's "when you play a spell" trigger can go on the chain
  • Embermonk gets +2 might

Nuances:

  • "Play" in Riftbound means fully resolve - the spell must completely finish resolving before play triggers activate
  • If Switcheroo is countered (e.g., by Defy), Embermonk won't get the +2 at all since the spell didn't fully resolve
