Goratrix is acting. Frederick the Weak with two ANI skill cards has a Raven Spy with 1 life (played when he just had 1 skill card). Frederick blocks Goratrix. Goratrix plays Weather Control. Does Frederick have an opportunity to stick the bird back in his pants with a SUP Pack Alpha to gain 1 strength, before the WC kicks in? It seems like he does, since all the effects are pre-range, and the WC damage to the Spy doesn't have to be handled until the very last moment of the pre-range step. TIA, Pat

Not the right reasoning -- the WC damage is handled as soon as Goratrix likes. But even then, there is the opportunity to use effects like Skin of Night (or Pack Alpha) before handling damage.
