im pretty sure that he would be unable to respond to the first spell as he has already decided to let it resolve. splicing would make the second spell become part of the first spell, which already resolved.

you reveal and pay for the splice at the same time as you play the spell: they are one entity on the stack . The opponent cannot act between the playing of the spell and the splicing because they are, in effect, only one spell.

you cannot splice onto a spell that has already resolved, only at the time it goes into the stack. The opponent cannot counter the splice, only the spell itself.

if the opponent plays a spell and i do not respond to that particular one, he cannot proceed by splicing, because I have already let the spell resolve?

Thanks! (this seems a little fairer than "Ha! you can't counter the splice because you already let the first spell pass through")

"if the opponent plays a spell and i do not respond to that particular one he cannot proceed by splicing, because I have already let the spell resolve?"

well, just because you don't act doesnt mean the stack instantly resolves...if you pass priority back he can still cast more instant effects on top of the spell.

but yes, he would have to declare the spell and the splice at the same time.

Also, if the original spell was countered, the splice would be countered as well.
