Can you play a card while the chain is in the middle of resolving?

Ruling: Yes, after each element on the chain resolves, there is a window where both players get priority and can play reactions before the next element resolves.

Sequence:

  • The chain begins resolving from top to bottom
  • After each individual element resolves, both players can add items to the chain
  • Any newly added cards go on top of the current chain
  • Resolution continues with the new top element

Nuances:

  • The phrase "the chain ends" when resolution begins is misleading - it only means players can't add things initially, but priority returns after each resolution
  • In the example: after Consult the Past (2) resolves and draws Discipline, Player B can play Discipline before Consult the Past (1) resolves, placing it on top of the remaining chain
