I got a little problem.

In my High Tide deck i play a Mind's Desire after a High Tide and Vampiric Tutor for Frantic Search.
The MD resolves and I play Frantic Search for Free. I have a Yawgmoth's Will in my hand. Can I then Play the Will and then play a High Tide, Frantic Search and Vampiric from my graveyard (paying for its cost of course) and then proceed with Mind's Desire's storm effect?

I know I didn't explain so good. But I found no other good way to explain it.

The thing I am asking about is:
Can i play cards from my hand between the storm effects of Mind's Desire?

If you are asking if you can play spells between each resolution of a copy of Mind's Desire then you can, so long as they are instants or can be played as such.

You won't be able to play Will since the stack will not be empty.

You won't be able to play Will until all the copies of Mind's Desire resolve.

Also note you CANNOT pick the card Mind's Desire will reveal with Vampiric Tutor.  You shuffle your library with Mind's Desire's effect before revealing a card.  So, if you Vamp tutor something to the top of your library, you have a random chance of revealing it with MD since you shuffle before revealing.

Super!
Thanks again  Very Happy

I got another question then!

Quote from: Mind's Desire says
Shuffle your library. Then remove the top card of your library from the game. Until end of turn, you may play it as though it were in your hand without paying its mana cost. (If it has X in its mana cost, X is 0.) Storm (When you play this spell, copy it for each spell played before it this turn.)


That means that I can let the Desire resolve ( including the storm effect ). Say I removed 4 cards and I play one of them, the play a Will and then proceed with the rest?
This is after all the storm effects has resolved.

Is this possible?

Once all copies of Mind's Desire have resolved, the stack should be empty.

If you play a spell of MD and let it resolve, the stack will be empty again.  You can then play Sorceries such as Yawgmoth's Will.

Keep in mind that storm triggers when you play Mind's Desire, not when it resolves. Once that happens, a fixed number of copies also go on the stack. You can't increase storm by playing the first card you get--that isn't even the original Mind's Desire resolving.

However, once Desire and the copies have resolved, you have until end of turn to play the revealed spells--in any order, doing anything you like in between.

So the only spells I can play between the storm effects is instants, and spells that can be played as an instant.

That is correct. The resolution of the copies of Mind's Desire (the presumed "storm effects") is what removes the cards from the top of your library. Until all copies of Mind's Desire have resolved, there are items on the stack, thereby preventing the play of sorceries, lands, enchantments, creatures, etc. The only effects that can be played between resolutions of copies of Mind's Desire are instant-speed effects. Once all such copies have resolved, you are free to play any and all spells under normal rules, including any sorceries, lands, enchantments, or creatures that may have been removed from your library by any of the copies of Mind's Desire.
