Both Three-stone River and the battle action on Traditions of Steel are played during a battle: What order do the respective card's delayed effects resolve? What section of the comprehensive rules covers the timing of this situation?
Thank you.
Tradition of Steel vs Three-stone River

Thank you.
Both actions create delayed effects that resolve "Before this battle’s resolution", so step D of Resolving timing conflicts applies:
D. Apply any delayed effects or indefinite conditional effects that resolved previously and are timed to the trigger (such as, “After the next time this turn he assigns…” or "After each time this turn a Personality assigns...") The active player decides the order in which more than one of these effects apply. If different sources each give multiple delayed or indefinite conditional effects to the same trigger, the active player decides which source's effects apply first, but multiple such effects from the same source all happen before such effects from the next source happen.
