can I respond to an ETB effect?
Asked by capriom85 9 years ago
Example: end of my turn opponent flashes in Vendilion Clique.
Before they get to see my hand, am I allowed to Lightning Bolt the Clique to prevent the bolt from being the chosen option?
Of course the ETB still happens, but can I still bolt the Clique prior to this?

I should have clarified: triggered abilities always start with "when", "whenever", or "at". Vendilion Clique's ability is a triggered ability.

When a triggered ability triggers, it goes on the stack. Everyone is allowed to make responses before it starts resolving.
