Can I activate Cranial Archive in response to Rally the Ancestors?
Asked by Argy 9 years ago
My Opponent has a graveyard full of Allies and casts Rally the Ancestors.
I have a Cranial Archive on the field.
Can I pay 2 and exile the Archive before all the Allies hit the field?

Yes of course you can. Whenever a spell or ability goes on the stack, priority is passed to each player allowing them the chance to respond with their own spells or abilities. In response to Rally the Ancestors you can activate Cranial Archive and your ability will resolve first, forcing your opponent to shuffle the graveyard into his library. Then his spell will resolve and return nothing to the battlefield.
