    An ability that triggers when a player casts a spell resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. The ability resolves even if that spell is countered.

  • WotCSep 9, 2022

    You draw a card and discard a card while Academy Wall's last ability is resolving. No player may take actions between those events, and nothing can happen.
