Summoning Sickness and Haste

Asked by pedroedmarcos 6 years ago

Hey there,

So, this one was another scenario that kind of happened with my playgroup last week. Let's say player 1 has a Heartless Hidetsugu as a commander and after it enters the battlefield he just pass the turn. Heartless hidetsugo is affected by Summoning sickness so he cannot use his tap ability. Player number 2 is playing Narset, Enlightened Master and he atacks the player 3 and triggers the narser abillity. With that he exiles, Myth Realized, Quiet Contemplation, and 2 lands. No blockers declared, the damage has been done and so stars the second main phase. Player 2 casts Quiet Contemplation (No responses), and then he casts Myth Realized, triggering the Quiet contemplation and paying 1 of any color so he can tap the Heartless Hidetsugu. So the player 1 casts Expedite in response to the Quiet Contemplation on Heartless Hidetsugu to give him haste and them tap him to use his ability and deals damage to all players.

Is that stack right? -Cast of the Myth -Quiet Contemplation triggers, mana of any color payed and targeting Heartless hidetsugu -Expedite in response of heartless hidetsugu, giving him haste.

For me, he will only have the stack resolve, and he cannot response something in the middle of the stack once he let the stack resolves. So he cannot tap heartless hidetsugu before Quet Contemplation resolves. Am I right? If i'm not, why?

Player 1 is allowed to make that play.

The one place where your explanation goes wrong is saying "the stack resolves". Objects on the stack resolve one at a time, and everyone is allowed to make more responses after each one. They don't have to wait for everything to resolve in order to make more responses. Any new responses they make will be put on top of the stack.
