Can anyone explain MTG priority to me in simple terms?

Interupt > Instant > Sorcery

For example if you cast a Sword to Plowshares (an Instant) on your Shivan Dragon to heal yourself then your opponent can prevent it by killing it with a Blue Elemental Blast (an Interupt) first. Even if you have a second Sword to Plowshares on your hand you will not be able to use it before your dragon gets killed by the elemental blast.

yes

I don't even understand how you can have this particular understanding of the rules
Any time you cast a spell, activate an ability or go to change phase you have to give your opponent an opportunity to respond (passing priority) unless an effect says otherwise (split second)
There is no such thing as an "interrupt" anymore
Blue elemental blast is an instant and unless stated otherwise all abilities can be activated at "instant speed". Which means, when you have priority
You can absolutely cast swords to plowshares in response to a blue elemental blast

First in, last out. You can make a literal stack of cards with the first played on the bottom and the last on top. That's the resolve order.

Imagine an arrow over the player whose turn is occuring. That player wants to change phase, cast a spell or activate an ability that is not a mana ability. Either way, they take that arrow and pass it on to whoever is next.
>Changing phase
Each other player, in turn order, may activate an ability or cast an instant spell. This would trigger the next section. Otherwise, if they do not wish to do anything, they pass the arrow to the next player. Once the arrow has returned to the player whose turn it is, the phase changes.

>Casting a spell or activating an ability
The spell/ability goes on the stack. The player may retain priority and do another thing at instant speed. Otherwise, in turn order, the player who controls the spell/ability passes that arrow to the next player. That player may either use and instant speed ability/spell or they may pass the arrow to the next person. Once the original caster has the arrow again, the spell is cast.

Its very easy to understand if you pass a physical object with priority.

OP asked about priority, not how the stack works. I presume he meant how and when priority gets passed back and forth between phases and steps.

Also you're asking a rules question on 4chan so good fucking luck

Fuck off with your misrepresented rules and cryptic bullshit examples.

Active player has the priority to do the action first and keep the priority, until does no other actions, gives the priority to non active player who can, if he/she so chooses, to do an action as well. So the cycle repeats until the game is over.
