In Riftbound, if you cast 'Consult the Past' in response to an opponent's spell on the chain, can you use cards drawn from it (like Defy) to respond to spells still on the chain before they resolve?

Ruling: Yes, you can use cards drawn from Consult the Past to respond to spells still on the chain. After each item on the chain resolves, priority is passed back to players, allowing them to add new reactions before the next item resolves.

Sequence:

• Opponent casts a spell (e.g., Void Seeker targeting your creature)
• You respond with Consult the Past as a reaction
• Both players pass priority
• Consult the Past resolves first, you draw 2 cards
• Turn player gains priority
• Turn player passes
• You gain priority and can now play a reaction (e.g., Defy) from the cards you just drew
• If played, Defy is added to the chain and resolves before the opponent's original spell

Nuances:

• Priority resets after every link on the chain resolves
• You cannot react to permanents entering play (they enter and exit the chain without players gaining priority)
• This works similarly to Magic: The Gathering's stack system
