Is there a pass of priority between activating Springleaf Drum and casting a spell?

Asked by DeBo20 9 years ago

I know it's a mana ability and it doesn't use that stack and can't be responded too, but is there ever a pass of priority. There has been confusion at ever LGS I play my affinity deck at.

605.3b. An activated mana ability doesn't go on the stack, so it can't be targeted, countered, or otherwise responded to. Rather, it resolves immediately after it is activated. (See rule 405.6c.)

405.6c. Mana abilities resolve immediately. If a mana ability both produces mana and has another effect, the mana is produced and the other effect happens immediately. If a player had priority before a mana ability was activated, that player gets priority after it resolves. (See rule 605, "Mana Abilities.")
