Well, I wouldn't use the term 'fast effect' since that doesn't exist any more and has widely differing definitions under the people who do still use it.
Furthermore, this is all assuming you do not want to respond to your own spells and abilities, since you get priority first after you play something.
But besides those two (minor) points, this usually helps a lot. |
