If your playing against a brotherhood deck and they allready have a face up savage land and they wanna attack your 3 drop with there 2

When he declares the attack could you then chain something like Have a Blast! on there savage land and they cant chain it because there not in the attack substep yet and then when both players pass the game will start the attack substep and he has to continue to attack the 3 cost character with his 2 without the help of his savage land?

Quick shorthand: As long as both players are paying attention, [thing] never happens unless both players have had a chance to play all effects they want to and have agreed to let it go through.

[thing] can be any of the following:

  • Ending a phase or step and moving to the next one
  • Characters/equipment being recruited
  • Attacks being declared
  • Attacks being resolved
  • Ending recovery and proceeding to wrap-up

You can ALWAYS play effects before these go through.

Other game events are more complicated (resolving plot twists and locations, and so on), but those five are pretty ironclad in being slow and ponderous, and never moving forward until everyone's cool with it.

Check out the Simplified Turn Guide to learn when you can play effects. :D

Just to add to captainspud's comment:

There are 2 steps to attacking:

Proposing an attack (No one exhausts yet)
- Effects can be played
Attack Substep Starts
- Attackers exhaust
- Triggered effects go on the chain
- Effects can be played

It's complicated at first but gets easier. :D

And one important thing is: You can't 'cancel' a proposed attack (Unless you've got some nice friends!) So if they do something that would mess up your attack, you can't suddenly say 'Oh, I don't want to attack now'. Once you've proposed the attack, it will resolve unless it becomes illegal in some way.

One of my meanest moments at a tournament was having an opponent declare into captain marvel (DCR Release) and shouting SHAZAM!

He had failed / forgotten I could get big fast, he wanted out, I had to sympathetically say No!, and take the win.

lol I should really stop letting my opponents take back the attack when they realize something wasn't what they thought. :P It is part of the rules. :D
