General Magic / Re: Questions regarding suspension and more generally "casting" and triggers

Thanks a lot for the details, it raises one larger question for which im not positive and that may induce a lot of approximations in my resoning :

When we resolve the stack, we resolve the last thing that was put on it, but then do we get to play other thing before the 2nd last thing resolves ? Or do we just sit and wait until the stack resolves unless there is a trigger ability that triggers and allows us to play things again ?

And back to the example i understood what happened better reading your first corrected answer again (which is the reason Im correcting my question haha).

But Im a bit confused about the suspension counters.

For me you would typically remove the 2 counters at the same time, causing both spells to go on the stack at the same time. There you would choose which one goes first but before any of them resolved the other would be right behind, ready to be resolved aswell.

So basically everything strikes me as being logic aside from the CtC resolving while the suspension counter is still on the Shock. If you could get this mess in ordre in my head that would be absolutely fantastic (and if you dont have time for it, its fine  )

Édit : just realized that in your example the counter is going on the stack, its just that in my head removing suspension counters had to be some kind of special action or state-based-action but it appears its just a normal thing ? I feel smarter and yet more lost than before lol

Thanks again for your time this is tremendously helpful

Massive thanks friend. I'm glad to see I'm getting better. What confused me for Complete the Circuit was the word "cast" that made me believe that Complete the circuit had to be resolved BEFORE I play the second spell as if it was on the stack already it wouldn't work. But i guess it doesn't work like this han. Anyway thanks a lot, I've always had lots of questions concerning the game but I never actually asked in a forum. I'm definitely going to do it more often haha

Thanks again

General Magic / Questions regarding suspension and more generally "casting" and triggers

« am: Dezember 12, 2023, 09:11:20 Nachmittag »

Hi, I'm currently working on a commander deck featuring Gandalf of the secret fire and I have found myself having lots of questions concerning the suspension mechanism. I'm saying this to put some context so that when you, generous fellow, answer the following questions you may also add other details concerning tricky mechanisms that you believe I'll run into as what I'm truly looking for here are answers to help me understand the game better more than just a specific answer to a specific scenario.

My first question is about : Complete the circuit

I play this in a random opponent turn alongside another spell. I will get the copies of that other spell at that moment right ? But at my turn I won't because both spells will be casted at the same time and go on the stack. So even if I choose to have the complete the circuit trigger first when it does the other spell will already be casted so it won't be copied, right ?

My second question is about Insidious Will
I play it during an opponent turn to counter something. When i get to play it again during my turn, if it's the only spell coming out of exile I won't be able to cast it due to it having nothing to target right ?

My third question is about Snap :
I first play it during an opponent turn. When I cast it during my turn I would have to tap the lands when this is on the stack to benefit from the ability to untap them but that will force me to play an instant as I will only have access to that mana during the beginning of my turn and not during my precombat main phase right ?

Thank you for your time gentlemen (and ladies of course!)

General Magic / Rule question regarding Gandalf of secret fire

« am: Dezember 08, 2023, 02:32:29 Nachmittag »

Hello, first time using the forum. Tried to find an appropriated place for this but didnt find any so ill try my luck here.

I have lots of questions concerning Gandalf of the secret fire. I have forgotten all but one but hopefully the answer will help me for the others when they come back to my stupide brain again.

If i cast an instant (spell A) and then splice onto arcane/instant a spell (spell B) cast during my opponent turn, what happens ?

Spell A resolves with B right now and in 3 turns aswell ? Or in 3 turns is it just spell A ?

Thanks for your time 😋
