Can I activate Cauldron of Souls before Magus of the Tabernacle's ability goes on the stack?

Asked by Russ1981 2 years ago

I'm pretty sure I can do this, but I wanted to double check the timing restriction, can I activate Cauldron of Souls before Magus of the Tabernacle forces me to sac or pay?

You can get what you want here, but let's get the details straight: No, you aren't able to activate Cauldron of Souls before the triggered abilities given by Magus of the Tabernacle goes onto the stack, but you can respond to the the triggers going onto the stack by activating the Cauldron.

At the beginning of your upkeep, the triggered abilities given to each of your creatures by Magus will all trigger at the same time. They go onto the stack in the order of your choice. Before any of them start resolving, you can respond by activating the Cauldron. The Cauldron's ability will resolve first.
