After passing priority following playing a reaction, does a player get priority again before that reaction resolves (when both players pass in sequence)?

Ruling: When both players pass priority in sequence (pass-pass), the top item on the chain resolves. The player who added the reaction and then passed priority does not get another opportunity to add items before their reaction resolves.

Sequence:

  • Player A plays R2 and passes priority
  • Player B passes priority
  • R2 resolves (no opportunity for Player A to play R3 here)
  • After R2 resolves, Player B gets priority to add reactions, followed by Player A

Nuances:

  • Playing an item and passing priority afterward are considered different "loops" from the game's perspective for the purpose of determining if a player has "passed priority without adding any items to the chain"
  • The priority gained immediately after adding something to the chain is a new priority window that counts as the first pass when determining pass-pass resolution
