You mean Lightning Helix ? That would instantly improve this deck.
Also recommend Lightning Bolt and Path to Exile .
TRIPLE CASTING
I see. So the stack is like this: Lightning Bolt , then dual cast, then Blistercoil Weird 's ability after Lightning Bolt goes off the stack, and then dual cast again.
Splinters
Whoops, nevermind, not sure Flame Slash fits any better than Lightning Bolt . Maybe Combust though, depends on your local meta.
Shrine of Piercing Vision might be a good digging option with a bunch of cantrips, maybe throw a few Gitaxian Probe into the mix?
Yeah, there is no step 4 in this example, Lightning Bolt goes to the graveyard as part of Counterspell resolving. Since it was removed from the stack, it can't resolve. Since no one gets priority during the resolution of a spell or ability, there's no way to leave just the bolt in your library with the relic.
Yes. Because of the way priority works, you have a chance to respond to his Counterspell hitting the graveyard. Lightning Bolt wouldn't enter the graveyard until the stack ends, and you have priority in between those final steps.
Active player gets priority at the beginning of steps and phases (after "beginning of" triggered abilities are put on the stack.)Active player gets priority after a spell/ability on the stack resolves.A player gets priority after they put a spell/ability on the stack.If a player passes priority, the next player in turn order receives priority.
First things first. I know how the stack works. First in, last out. Whenever I ask someone this question, they mistake it for a much less subtle question about how the stack works. So please don't respond by explaining to me how the stack works, I've heard it ten times now :)
I cast Lightning Bolt . My opponent responds with Counterspell . I really want to know the timing of what happens, so if I need to do some tricky graveyard hate I can back it up with rules. Here's what I think happens:
1) I cast Lightning Bolt and pass priority.
2) My opponent casts Counterspell . We both pass priority.
3) Counterspell resolves. Lightning Bolt becomes countered, and Counterspell enters its owners graveyard. We both pass priority.
4) Lightning Bolt tries to resolve and just enters my graveyard without doing anything.
Between 3 and 4, can I, for example, crack a Relic of Progenitus , exiling everything and leaving only the Lightning Bolt in my graveyard after the dust settles?
Two. Voice of Resurgence triggers once when Lightning Bolt is cast. This ability will resolve before Lightning Bolt resolves. Then, when Lightning Bolt resolves and kills Voice of Resurgence , Voice of Resurgence 's ability will trigger again.
You would get 2.
You opponent casts Lightning Bolt during your turn, and then you get a token.
It resolves, killing Voice of Resurgence , and you get another token.
