The Thread:
The Thread is the FILO (first in last out) resolution sequence of game actions. It's similar to MTG's stack or YGO's chain, and it shares some similarities and differences with them both. Like MTG and YGO, having knowledge of the Thread interactions allows you sequence effects in a more advantageous manner.
Key differences:
1.) Unlike MTG's stack, you can only add 1 item to the Thread at a time.
2.) Unlike YGO's chain, you can still add an item to the Thread as it is resolving.
You can only add an effect to the Thread if you have Priority.
Effects are never paired with cards on the Thread.
In MTG terms, all card effects are activated abilities.
Whenever an action is added to or resolves on the Thread, a round of Priority consecutively passes clockwise to all players from the player who added the action. When all players consecutively pass Priority, the last item on the Thread resolves, and Priority returns to Turn Player.
When turn player passes Priority while the Thread is empty, the Turn Phase increments. Tapping Energies or cards as cost does not pass Priority.
The Projection (playing) of a card DOES pass Priority, and a Projected card is NOT a Manifest card - it cannot Invoked (use its effects or attack) or be targeted by cards that do not specifically target Projected cards. Most effects target Manifest cards. See more on "Projection and Manifestation".
