1. Question

A player asked about a situation in a Branded mirror match involving Incredible Ecclesia, the Virtuous and Fallen of Albaz.

The scenario involves both players activating Ecclesia’s effect to Special Summon Fallen of Albaz. The player asked whether they can give up their turn-player priority when the resulting trigger effects become available, allowing the opponent’s Fallen of Albaz effect to be placed on the Chain first.

The motivation is to avoid having their own Fallen of Albaz become the first effect placed on the new Chain and potentially being used as Fusion Material by the opponent’s Albaz.

2. Reddit Discussion

The responses explained that this is not a matter of simply choosing to give up turn-player priority.

One commenter explained that the Fast Effect Flowchart determines the order in this situation. When simultaneous trigger effects need to be placed on a new Chain, the turn player’s trigger effects are placed first, followed by the non-turn player’s trigger effects.

The commenter also stated that if the turn player passes on their opportunity to activate a trigger effect in this situation, they cannot later return to activate that trigger effect during the same Chain-building process.

Another commenter gave the same practical answer: if the player passes on the trigger, they lose the opportunity to activate that Fallen of Albaz effect unless its trigger condition is met again later in the turn.

A further response clarified the terminology. The situation is governed by SEGOC (Simultaneous Effects Go On Chain) rather than ordinary “turn player priority.” The commenter explained that turn-player priority can refer to different concepts, including who can act first in an open game state or who has priority to activate a fast effect after an event that does not start a Chain.

The final response summarized the consequence: passing in this situation means losing the opportunity to activate the Albaz effect.

3. Summary of the Reddit Answer

Question	Reddit Answer
Can the turn player simply give up their position so the opponent’s trigger is placed first?	No
Which player’s mandatory/optional trigger effects are placed first in SEGOC?	Turn player’s, followed by the non-turn player’s
Can the turn player pass on their trigger and activate it later in the same Chain-building process?	No
What rules concept governs the ordering here?	SEGOC
Does ordinary turn-player priority allow the player to reorder the simultaneous triggers?	No

The important distinction made in the discussion is between turn player priority and SEGOC. The order of simultaneous trigger effects is determined by the SEGOC rules rather than by the player voluntarily giving another player the first opportunity.

4. Conclusion

According to the Reddit discussion, you cannot simply pass on your turn-player position to make your opponent’s simultaneous trigger effect go on the Chain first.

When both players have trigger effects that activate in the same timing window, SEGOC determines their order: the turn player’s trigger effects are placed on the Chain first, followed by the non-turn player’s trigger effects.

If the turn player passes on their opportunity to activate their trigger effect, the discussion indicates that they lose that opportunity for that Chain-building process.

The Reddit discussion also emphasizes that calling this “turn player priority” can be misleading. The relevant mechanism for ordering simultaneous trigger effects is SEGOC, while turn-player priority is used for other parts of the game’s interaction rules.
