Can my opponent float their resources (energy and power) as a reaction to Divine Judgement?
Ruling: Yes, your opponent can float resources as a reaction to Divine Judgement. Runes have "Exhaust - Reaction: Add 1 Energy" and can be activated before the spell resolves. They can also recycle runes to float power.
Sequence:
- When Divine Judgement is played, the opponent has priority before it resolves
- The opponent can exhaust runes to add energy (one at a time technically, but can be shortcut)
- The opponent can also recycle runes to add power
- All floated resources will be lost when the turn ends
- Divine Judgement then resolves, reducing runes to 2
Nuances:
- Abilities that "Add" resources cannot be responded to, even with other "Add" abilities, so they technically resolve one at a time, though shortcutting is acceptable
- Recycling runes while floating can trigger effects like Sivir's legend ability to create Gold tokens
- Gold tokens created this way come in tapped, so typically can't be used same turn
- Floating resources is useful to have energy/power available until end of turn after Divine Judgement resolves
