Responding to your own Sylvan Safekeeper ability
Asked by DemMeowsephs 2 years ago
Hi all, just a quick rules check.
If I have Sylvan Safekeeper, and I want to use its ability and target a creature of mine, can I do that, and then respond to it myself and play an instant on my creature before the ability (shroud in particular) resolves?

Alright that's what I figured, just wanted to make sure! Thanks Raging_Squiggle!

Ah my apologies Rhadamanthus I usually do but forgot this time.

Sure you can. The safe keeper ability uses the stack just like everything else. You just have to be sure to announce you’re holding priority so you can cast your spell on top of the ability. Otherwise, it’s assumed you have passed priority.
