This is not M:tG... Nowhere does in the rules state that there is any sort
of timing frame.
IMHO played = When a card is declared. Everything on the card resolves at
once with no time frame for opponent to respond do anything. No turning for
special effect, no discarding for special effect or whatever.
Therefore when you deploy LotI you'll have to roll for it before he can
respond.
This is the only counter effect card in the game. It's bound to stir up a
discussion. Next person's opinion??
