A couple questions referring to the stack.

I play Orim’s Chant. Can an instant be played in response to that?

There are several cards on the stack. I Extirpate a card that is currently on the stack. Does that card resolve?

Thanks!

Don’t know how this slipped my guard, but anyway.

1 - Whenever you play a spell or ability, or a triggered effect triggers, priority IS passed around players to respond. Mind that spells with split second DO pass priority, you just can’t use the stack to respond to it, but if you have a morph (say, a Willbender against Stonewood Invocation, or Fathom Seer against Sudden Shock) that can somehow jam the spell, since morph is a stactic ability which DOESN’T use the stack, you CAN unmorph the permanent and it’s effect WILL take place. Since Orim’s Chant isn’t a split second spell, yes, you CAN respond to Orim’s Chant by playing as many instants as you can (not only one, since you’d play one, then in response another, then another, etc, piling them all above the Chant on the stack).

2 - Extirpate targets a card in a graveyard. When you play a spell, it’s not in any zone, it’s resolving. AFTER it resolves, it’ll be put in the appropriate place (the graveyard or in play), and only THEN can you target it with Extirpate. Also, if you extirpate a Call of the Herd in response to another Call of the Herd, it WILL resolve, and they’ll still be left with a Call of the Herd in the graveyard to flashback (the one they just played), since Extirpate will resolve first, removing the CotH in the graveyard, and the ones in their hand or library, but NOT the one on the stack.
I don't like YOU.

Thanks!

And yeah, I meant Extirpate a card from the graveyard identical to one on the stack.
