Question

10 – Just came across a situation where a minion had Priority Target and Psionic Shield attached. Priority Target is Interrupt: When Defeated, while Psionic Shield is Forced Interrupt: When attached minion would leave play…1.6 explains timing for defeat interrupts, but conspicuously leaves out leaves play interrupts so I was wondering which order to resolve these in. Are leaves play interrupts only resolved during step 9 of the damage diagram, or should the be resolved during step 6-7 like the defeat interrupt

Answer

An ability that triggers when a character is defeated is resolved before an ability that triggers when a character would leave play. Priority Target is resolved at Step 7, while Psionic Shield is resolved at Step 9 (the character being “discarded” is simultaneous with it “leaving play”).
