How do spell effects resolve?

Asked by Bread_my_Butter 3 months ago

I was just looking at Sram's Expertise, and was wondering how the abilities on the cards resolve.

I am assuming you have to do the card affects in order, top to bottom ; but I was wondering if the separate effects fully resolve before the next one goes on the stack, or if the effects trigger simultaneously.

Example: if I wanted to cast a Village Rites, would I be able to sacrifice one of the servo tokens to pay for the additional cost?

Yes, your example works. You follow the instructions in order, completing each action before moving on to the next one. There are some rare exceptions when a sentence has to be written in a slightly different way so that it will make sense in English, but in those cases the order of events should be clear from the context. Sram's Expertise gives you tokens first, then lets you cast the free spell. That other spell will be able to interact with the tokens.
