When an opponent plays Thermo, can I exhaust all my unexhausted Gold to generate power and then play Reaction speed spells with that power before Thermo resolves?
Ruling: Yes, you can exhaust all your unexhausted Gold to generate power and play Reaction speed spells with that power while retaining priority before Thermo resolves.
Sequence:
- Opponent plays Thermo
- While you have priority, exhaust your unexhausted Gold to generate power
- Use that power to play Reaction speed spells
- Your unspent power won't disappear until the next draw step or end of turn
Nuances:
- Only unexhausted (ready) Gold can be used to generate power, not exhausted Gold
- This works similarly to recycling a rune, except runes don't need to exhaust to be recycled for power
