In MTG, instant spells resolve using the stack system. Basically, the last spell cast is the first one to resolve. So, if you cast an instant in response to another spell, your instant will resolve first. It's like stacking plates; the last one on is the first one off. This allows for strategic plays and responses during both your turn and your opponent's turn.

Honestly, most people overthink this. Just play your instant, let your opponent do their thing, and the stack will sort itself out. Magic鈥檚 rules are there to guide the fun, not to bog you down.
