JUDGE!!! I have Drover of the Mighty in play and am about to play Raging Swordtooth.. What happens?? Does Drover get buffed and live before Swordtooth deals his damage or does Swordtooth deal damage thus killing him? My guess is that I get to choose the order being that I have priority. Is that correct or am I way off?
There is no choice to be made here. Drover of the Mighty's first ability is a static ability and does not use the stack, where as Raging Swordtooth's ability is a triggered ability that does use the stack. The moment a Dinosaur enters the battlefield the Drover gets the +2/+2, so before Raging Swordtooth's ability is even put on the stack the Drover is already a 3/3. So the Drover will be 3/3 when 1 damage is dealt to it and will live.
My guess is that I get to choose the order being that I have priority.
There are situations where a player gets to choose the order of things (rules 603.3b & 613.6j), but this has absolutely nothing to do with priority (rule 116). Just making sure there's no confusion.
