Does Bane have a reflexive trigger?

Asked by gavriel1136 2 years ago

Bane, Lord of Darkness's second ability states "Whenever another nontoken creature you control dies, target opponent may have you draw a card. If they don't, you may put a creature card with equal or lesser toughness from your hand onto the battlefield."

If an opponent chooses NOT to have me draw a card, is there a moment where I have priority before I need to put a creature from my hand out? I'm thinking of using a card like Death Denied to instant-speed put a creature into my hand in response to the reflexive trigger. If Bane does NOT have a reflexive trigger, then I won't have priority before the ability resolves.
