It's not a resolution-only check. The Eternals of Sirius ruling established that the cost and effect are simultaneous. So you are on 4 pool. When your pool changes, it goes to 5 pool. There isn't a point when you go to zero pool and then back up to five, nor do you go up to nine pool then down to five.

Exactly, the Eternals of Sirius ruling has said that "immediate" is a synonym for "concurrent". My point entirely.

Still no. Please stop making crap up.

I have made up nothing. I am talking about the definition of the word as used in the CRR and how we should change it. If the effects are to be 'concurrent' or 'simultaneous' (which ARE synonyms)... then we should use one of those words. If we want the cost and its effect to be distinct BUT to occur closely together (even so closely as to allow no other card-play/effect to intervene) then we should stick with "immediate".

The rulings made in the past, particularly the one on the Eternals of Sirius, has clearly stated that in the CRR "immediately" should be replaced with either "concurrently" or "simultaneously".

Immediately simply refers to when it happens. As opposed to being delayed, like for actions and strikes (which are described above it), which have a different formulation.

Please, please stop rewriting the rules every day.
