Casual anyone??

Got my answer thought the rules section.
So, no resolution

In response, I un-tap Mage ring remove 1 storage counter from it tap the rest of my mana to play {giddeons phalanx}, and with 2 instants in my grave yard, all my creatures gain indestructible

So, does this end up working because it's on the top of the stack?

Do you mean if your {Academy Rector} resolves? If yes, then no. It still does not resolve since it's still on the the stack and rector hasn't reached play. Essence Scatter us still checking resolution, it doesn't care about state-based invincibility. So, no. Rector still gets countered. But you do gain invincibility.

At the point where a spell is countered, it is not yet a permanent on the battlefield.
Indestructible only cares about things on the field, so it will not affect your spells, or even creature spells on the stack.
Suppose: you have a bunch of creatures, and you cast {craterhoof behemoth}. The opposing player responds by activating  {Nevinyrral's Disk}. Then first all creatures would be destroyed, and then Behemoth would come in.
A spell only becomes a permanent when it successfully resolves, and a counterspell "kills off" the spell.

Ahh,  understood. This is the stuff you don't get when playing your friends on the living room coffee table. Thanks a bunch. Kinda upset it didn't work, but meh lol. So I am done then, no more shenanigans.

They die, but right as they hit the graveyard they disappear like a cloud of smoke!

Actually, they don't die. They go in your library, than disappear..
In effect, they're gone.

That's right! I forgot that eatherspout returns them to hand. I saw board wipe and I was like. "They died."
