To determine the controller of a delayed triggered ability, see rules 603.7d–f. The controller of a triggered ability is the player who controlled the ability’s source when it triggered, unless it’s a delayed triggered ability. The controller of an activated ability is the player who activated it. The controller of a spell is the person who cast it. Each activated or triggered ability that’s on the stack has the text of the ability that created it and no other characteristics. Each spell has all the characteristics of the card associated with it. If a player controls more than one of these objects, that player chooses their relative order on the stack. If an effect puts two or more objects on the stack at the same time, those controlled by the active player are put on lowest, followed by each other player’s objects in APNAP order (see rule 101.4). Each time an object is put on the stack, it’s put on top of all objects already there. The stack keeps track of the order that spells and/or abilities were added to it. When an ability is activated or triggers, it goes on top of the stack without any card associated with it (see rules 602.2a and 603.3). When a spell is cast, the physical card is put on the stack (see rule 601.2a). Actions that do not use the stack, such as paying costs, playing mana abilities, or turning a face-down creature with morph face-up, cannot be responded to.įrom the Comprehensive Rules (November 17, 2023- The Lost Caverns of Ixalan) Spells and abilities on the stack resolve one at a time, with a chance for each player to play spells and abilities in between each resolution. Since the stack resolves in order from top to bottom, those spells and abilities will resolve before the spell they were played "in response" to ("last in, first out"). Spells and abilities are put on top of the stack as the first step of being played, and are removed from it as the last step of resolving.Īny spell or ability that uses the stack can be "responded to" by all players, meaning players have a chance to play spells and abilities with it still on the stack. The stack system allows players to "respond" to the actions of other players before those actions take full effect, enabling interactive gameplay even with "instantaneous" effects. The stack is the game zone where spells and abilities are put when they are played and where they wait to resolve.
