Crucible of the Worlds - Using before its KO

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.trading-cards.magic.rules (More info?)

My opponent has a Seal of Cleansing in play.

On my Main 1 phase, I cast Crucible of the Worlds. I have a Strip Mine in my
discard pile that I would like to get back into play. Will I have the
opportunity to do so via the Crucible before my opponent has the option to sac
his Seal to destroy my Crucible?

Yes. Once a spell resolves (such as Crucible of Worlds), the active
player (that being you, since you said it was your main phase) gets
priority. One of the things you can do is play a land. If you do so,
you get priority again. It's not until you pass priority to your
opponent that he has the opportunity to play abilities (such as that
on the Seal of Cleansing).

See section 408 in the Comprehensive Rules for the full details.

Yes, because after casting your spell (Crucible of the Worlds) and him
playing whatever
instant/fast effect, you get to be the active player. So he has to wait
for you to do something
(playing your Strip Mine) or nothing, before he can activate his Seal of
Cleansing.

Yes. Since it's your turn, you're active player; that means you get priority
after the Crucible artifact spell resolves. At that time you may play your
land for the turn, and since CoW is in play you can play the Strip Mine out
of your graveyard. After playing your land you get priority again; you can't
play a second land, but you could play Shrapnel Blast targetting him, saccing
the Crucible as the additional cost, still before he gets priority at all.

If you pass, or if you play _any_ spell or nonmana ability, after the
Crucible resolves? Then he'll get the chance to announce the Seal's use.
And since you can't play a land in response to anything, the Seal's ability
would resolve, destroying the Crucible, before you ever got to use it in
this scenario.

That's "graveyard".

It's best to use the correct terminology when you know it, because
some of the rules can get pretty complicated, and not knowing the same
terms everyone else is using makes it that much harder to understand
the answers you get here.

Seal of Cleansing: {1W} |Enchantment| Sacrifice Seal of Cleansing: Destroy
target artifact or enchantment.

Crucible of Worlds: {3} |Artifact| You may play land cards from your graveyard
as though they were in your hand.

Yes, you will. Seal of Cleansing's ability cannot be played targeting the
Crucible, until after the Crucible resolves and is in play. After it
resolves, though, you get priority first, and can plan your land before you
pass priority to your opponent, who then would have the opportunity to use the
Seal, but the Strip Mine would have already been played and in-play.
