Timing issues

Asked by FatFreddiesCat 2 years ago

Doomskar is played. In response I want to play Displace. Are the target creatures returned to the battlefield immediately (before the Doomskar resolves) and thus destroyed anyway? Or are they returned to the battlefield after Doomskar resolves?

The entirety of a the spell's effect will occur upon resolution, unless explicitly stated otherwise (like Long Road Home).

So in this case, the creatures will be exiled and returned to play all before Doomskar resolves.

It's important to note that no players may cast spells or activate abilities in between the creatures being exiled and returning to the battlefield, since both effects are part of the same spell resolving. It would be like casting a spell before you draw a card form Crash Through, but after trample is granted.

Thanks. This actually clears up a couple other questions about timing.
