Can I cast auras in a row without giving my opponent priority?
I know that every time a player casts a spell he keeps priority. Auras, as enchantments, can only be played at sorcery speed... that means auras have to be cast while the stack is empty. So.. if I have 3 auras in my hand, do I have to wait for the first to resolve before casting the second? Even if I retain priority?
Example: Have Kor Spiritdancer on the field and 3 Hyena Umbra s in my hand. I know my opponent has a Shock in his hand and will kill Spiritdancer in response as soon as I cast the first aura. My doubt is... may I cast the 3 umbras in a row, without passing priority, so that I can draw 3 cards before Spiritdancer is dead?
Thanks for the help, my friends!

Yes, you have to wait. In order for any object on the stack to resolve, priority has to be passed to all players in succession without anyone using that priority for anything. And while a spell is on the stack, non-instants and spells without flash can't be cast. Retaining priority means to hold the right to respond to your own spells and abilties first. But you cannot deny other players the right to respond. If you want your spells and abilities to resolve, you have to give up priority.
