Question regarding order of actions

[tarkin84]

Temple of light says it may attack "before or after any friendly creature's Action phase".

The rulebook says that you can take a quickcast "immediately before or after any creature you control takes its Action phase".

So my question is: are both definitions equivalent, ie, can I use QC or temple in the order I want? Or does the word "immediately" obliges me to use first QC then temple?

¡Thanks in advance!

You can perform multiple items like this in the order that you choose. Hand of Bim-Shalla is a good example. You can have 3 of them out. Before you active your mage you can have all 3 Hands give you melee +1 then QCA a Bear Strength on to you Mage and then reveal it. Then have him attack with the Staff of Asyra with melee +5....

Hope the example helps here....

Thank you for your answer!

So I can play all those "free actions" in whatever order I want, including quickcasting between two of those.

I had doubts because of that "immediately" which is present in the quickcast's wording and not in the temples', but now everything is clear.

The meaning is "before" or "after" you activate the creature. Activation happens when you take and flip the creatures action marker over and start his/her action. So the wording for both still works in the order that you choose. I have to put ready markers on the Hands or else I forget to activate them....

Yup, ready markers are the one component that I occasionally run out of, what with temples, hands, defences and so on.
