Just say 'hold on, I'm holding priority' after you play something. This way, you get to do more stuff before your opponent can jump in. Remember, you gotta be clear; mumble, and you might just lose your chance!

As someone who's pulled off a few sneaky wins by holding priority, I can tell you it's a game-changer. Use it to unleash a combo your opponent won't see coming. But, be ready to explain what you're doing, not everyone's a fan of surprises.

Holding priority in MTG is all about timing and knowing the rules! Essentially, after you cast a spell or activate an ability, you can maintain control and not immediately pass it to your opponent by clearly stating you're holding priority. This lets you stack additional spells or abilities before your opponent can react. A classic move for the pros!

Honestly, it's rarely useful outside of competitive play. Most of the time, games flow better without complicated priority tricks. Just play and have fun!
