(704.1c) A triggered ability can trigger at any time, including while n player has pririty. As a triggered ability triggers, it creates a triggered effect. The prcessing f these effects is rdered by PrePririty Prcessing. (705) Prcessing Actins (705.1) T take an actin is t play a card, perfrm a Main Phase Actin, r activate an activated ability.

Players can t chse t d things that can t be dne. If parts f these instructins have different duratins, r if sme have duratins while thers dn t, separate mdifiers are created fr each part. Mdifiers never have mre than ne duratin. (705.2e) As the last part f prcessing an actin, ne f the fllwing things happens: Cmprehensive Rules A Friend, Trublemaker, r Resurce enters play An Event creates ne r mre mdifiers and is then put int its wner s discard pile A Main Phase Actin creates a mdifier Versin 2.0 Page 24

(710) Replacement Mdifiers (710.1) Mdifiers that use the wrds if, wuld, and instead are replacement mdifiers. A replacement mdifier replaces a specified ccurrence with a different ccurrence. Replacement mdifiers d nt define what can t happen. (710.2) A replacement mdifier can replace an ccurrence at any time, even during Pre-Pririty Prcessing r while n player has pririty. (710.3) Neither an ccurrence which has been affected by a replacement mdifier nr any ccurrence that ccurrence has been replaced with can be affected by that mdifier again. Thse ccurrences can still be affected by ther replacement mdifiers r ther instances f the same replacement mdifier. (710.4) A replacement mdifier can replace an ccurrence even if the ccurrence it is being replaced with can t be dne.

Mdifiers that dn t depend n any ther mdifiers are independent mdifiers. (711.3c) Mdifiers are never dependent n replacement mdifiers. (711.4) If a mdifier is dependent n a secnd mdifier with a later timestamp, it is nt applied in timestamp rder and instead applied immediately after the latest-timestamped mdifier n which it depends (711.5) If sme number f mdifiers are dependent upn each ther, they are interdependent. Apply the earliest-timestamped ne in timestamp rder, and apply the remaining nes as per dependent mdifiers. (711.4) (712) Triggered Effects (712.1) As a player is abut t receive pririty, any triggered effects that have been created since the last time a player had pririty are prcessed during Pre-Pririty Prcessing.
