I read an article on mtg today that described the following situation:
Player A suspended Phthisis
Player B played no creatures till Phthisis resolved
Before it resolved Player A played a creature, and when the Phthisis resolved Player A played Stonewood Invocation on his own creature.
The article wasn't quite precise on the timing but it seemed that the invocation was in response to the phthisis. The article said that the phthisis was countered since it couldn't be played. It was my impression that if the phthisis is already on the stack the invocation would resolve, then the phthisis would resolve and suck for its controller. Is this right? If the invocation is played in response to the last suspend counter being removed (is this separate from playing the spell?) then I would still think the invocation would resolve, then the phthisis could still be played.
Am I missing something?
Edit: Sorry, I just realized that the Invocation made it so the creature couldn't be targeted. Feel free to delete this.
