If my opponent plays a vanilla unit (permanent), do I have a chance to play a reaction before it resolves?
Ruling: No, you do not have a chance to play a reaction before a vanilla unit resolves. When a permanent starts a chain, it enters the chain and immediately resolves with no priority windows for reactions.
Sequence:
- Opponent plays a vanilla unit (permanent)
- The permanent enters the chain
- The permanent immediately resolves off the chain
- No reaction windows are provided
Nuances:
- You also do not get a reaction window after the permanent resolves
- A vanilla unit gives you exactly 0 windows to react
