Alright. For eternity good players have been telling me I should always announce my spell and -then- pay my costs for it, but I think I've hit on a situation where it might be better not to do this.
Here's the posish. I'm playing Solidarity. My opponent has Price of Glory on the board, an enchantment with the triggered ability "Whenever a player taps a land for mana, if it's not that player's turn, destroy that land."
Standard spell procedure is, of course, announcing the spell, then paying costs, tapping lands for mana, and such.
Therefore my two questions are as follows:
1. If I follow standard spell procedure by announcing a spell in the combo and then tapping my Islands for blue mana, do the Price of Glory triggers go on the stack -after- my spell, meaning my spell won't resolve until after the Price of Glory triggers eat my islands?
2. Can I then circumvent this process by simply floating my mana first to put the Price of Glory triggers on the stack, then by playing the next spell in the combo, so the spell resolves with the Price of Glory triggers on the stack, meaning I can essentially perform this process over and over making Price of Glory completely harmless and combo off with about 30-40 Price of Glory triggers on the stack?
