cr:7.3

Contents

• cr:7.3.1The Defend Step is a game state where defending cards may be declared by a hero being attacked.
• cr:7.3.2First, defending cards are declared for the attack-target(s). Cards declared this way become defending cards for the attack-target(s) on the active chain link.[7.0.5] Declaring a card this way is not considered playing that card - it does not incur the cost of playing that card, it does not add it as a layer on the stack, and it does not resolve any resolution abilities on that card.
• cr:7.3.3Second, the turn-player gains priority.
• cr:7.3.4Third and finally, when the stack is empty and all players pass in succession, the Defend Step ends and the Reaction Step begins.
