How does 'in response' work in Magic The Gathering?
Simple: 'in response' is your secret weapon to interrupt your opponent with a surprise. It's when you play that instant or activate an ability right after they've done something but before it's finalized. Boom, plot twist!

In MTG, 'in response' means you're playing a spell or activating an ability after your opponent has made a move but before that move has completely resolved. Think of it as your chance to say 'Wait a minute, I have something to say about that!' You're literally responding to their action. This can totally change the outcome of the game, depending on what you play in response. Remember, the last spell or ability on the stack resolves first!
Honestly, 'in response' actions are just overrated. Most games are won by solid planning, not flashy interruptions.
