Timing question: upkeep and instants
Asked by CamraMaan 1 year ago
Simple question, pretty sure I already know the answer. Is it possible to cast an instant spell on my turn before "beginning of upkeep" triggers go on the stack? I'm 97.28% sure I cannot. The interaction in question would be whether Feldon of the Third Path can copy Charmbreaker Devils into play before upkeep triggers. Again, pretty confident I can't, and that triggers will go on the stack before I receive the first priority of my turn. Thanks in advance! (TIA!)

You are correct that beginning of upkeep triggers will have triggered before you can do anything on your upkeep.
As a strategy note; if you are wanting to get upkeep triggers from Feldon of the Third Path, it is possible. You sacrifice the copy at the beginning of the next end step. So if you activate it during the opponent before you in turn order's end step it will not be sacrificed until your end step. This allows you to control the creature as the upkeep begins and you will get the trigger.
