When can I cast spells using Diluvian Primordial's ETB?
Asked by gemmillion 2 years ago
Hello, lets say I have a Diluvian Primordial that has targeted a Vindicate and an Abrupt Decay in two opponents graveyards, I target a creature with the Vindicate. Does the creature's controller get a chance to respond before I cast the Abrupt Decay, or do I have to cast and target both spells simultaneously?
Diluvian Primordial, Vindicate, Abrupt Decay
Diluvian Primordial triggers once when it enters the battlefield. When the trigger goes on the stack, you select a target card in each opponent's graveyard. Players can now respond, either by countering the ability or removing one or more cards you targeted from the graveyards (they can also remove Primordial but the ability will still resolve).
When the ability resolves, you cast all of the target cards cards that are still there. They go on the stack with their own targets selected, and players can now respond again.
So no, they can't respond in between your casting the spells, but they can respond after you announce which spells you'll be targeting to cast and they can respond between any of those spells resolving.

When Diluvian Primordial's ability resolves, you cast all spells it fetches simultaneously. Your opponent can respond before any of them resolve, or in between the resolution of some of them, but you must declare the targets for all of your spells before your opponents gain priority.
