116.3. Which player has priority is determined by the following rules:
116.3a The active player receives priority at the beginning of most steps and phases, after any turn
-
based
actions (such as drawing a card during the draw step; see rule 703) have been dealt with
and abilities that trigger at the beginning of that phase or step have been put on the stack. No
player receives priority during the untap step. Players usually dont
get priority during the
cleanup step (see rule 514.3).
116.3b The active player receives priority after a spell or ability (other than a mana ability) resolves.
116.3c If a player has priority when he or she casts a spell, activates an ability, or takes a special
action, that player receives priority afterward.
116.3d If a player has priority and chooses not to take any actions, that player
passes
. If any mana is
in that players mana pool, he or she announces what mana is there. Then the next player in
turn
order receives priority.
Kun on sinun main phase, stäkki on tyhjä ja lintu pelissä sinulla on priority koska olet active player. Nyt sinulla on kaksi vaihtoehtoa, joko pelaat spellin tai pässäät priorityn. Vastustaja voi toki kysellä vaikka kuinka että saisi priorityn mutta hän saa sen vain jos joko pelaat jotain tai sitten pässäät priorityn tarkoituksella hänelle.
