TR&CI: Ep 7 - What It Actually Means To Be "Sorcery Speed"

In this episode of Tough Rules & Cool Interactions, I go into what it means to be "sorcery speed" and how instant spells are not "faster" than sorceries or abilities that activate when you can cast a sorcery. I use a specific example of a situation that my personal playgroup recently ran into involving a Koma and Lightning Greaves.

Rules section covered in this episode are: 113.7a Once activated or triggered, an ability exists on the stack independently of its source. Destruction or removal of the source after that time won’t affect the ability. 117.3b The active player receives priority after a spell or ability (other than a mana ability) resolves. 117.5. Each time a player would get priority, the game first performs all applicable state-based actions as a single event, then repeats this process until no state-based actions are performed. Then triggered abilities are put on the stack. These steps repeat in order until no further state-based actions are performed and no abilities trigger. Then the player who would have received priority does so. 307.1. A player who has priority may cast a sorcery card from their hand during a main phase of their turn when the stack is empty. Casting a sorcery as a spell uses the stack. 307.5. If a spell, ability, or effect states that a player can do something only “any time they could cast a sorcery”or “only as a sorcery,”it means only that the player must have priority, it must be during the main phase of their turn, and the stack must be empty. The player doesn’t need to have a sorcery card they could cast. Effects that would preclude that player from casting a sorcery spell don’t affect the player’s capability to perform that action (unless the action is actually casting a sorcery spell).
