What happens here
Asked by VexxValentine 8 years ago
If I cast a Disciple of the Ring and my opponent lets it through then goes to Stasis Snare it can I activate Disciple of the Ring's counter ability and he does pay 2 can I activate the ability again to counter the spell again or does it end when my opponent pays 2
Priority works like this:
You can cast a spell or activate an ability any time you have priority and you can legally do so (i.e. sorcery speed spells during your main phase with nothing on the stack, and there are no "players can't cast X spells" restrictions).
At the beginning of any step the Active Player gets priority (after any triggered abilities waiting to be put on the stack are put there).
After a player casts a spell or activates an ability, that player gets priority again.
After the AP passes priority, the Non-Active Player gets it (the player whose turn it isn't, It goes around in turn order if there's more than two players).
Once each player passes priority in a row, the top most item on the stack resolves (it's effect happens), after which the AP gets priority again.
If each player passes priority and there's nothing left on the stack, the game goes to the next phase.
In this question you can activate Disciple of the Ring's ability any time you have priority, and how ever many times you have mana and cards in your graveyard to do so. You can activate it twice off the bat targeting Stasis Snare, or you can activate it once, wait to see whether your opponent pays 
on resolution, and then activate it again. It's up to you to decide what you think the best play is.

Also, in the future you should try to give some indication of what the question's about in your title. "What happens here?" isn't the greatest way to to do that.

Each activation of the ability is separate. Your opponent must pay two each time you activate it if he/she wants the spell to resolve.
