Forum:Musakanai Magatama

First off let me start by saying I know the answer to this question, and the entire point behind this thread will be proof that a certain bull-headed friend can read. Also, if I turn out to indeed be wrong, I'll leave it up and show him out of sheer principle.

Let me paint you a picture. I have a back-row consistent of three Crystal Beasts, a Ruby Carbuncle and two Sapphire Pegasi. My opponent has a Legendary Six Samurai-Shi En. His back-row consists of a Musakani Magatama (which I am unaware of) and some other herp derp trap card.

It is my turn. Aware of Shi En's effect, I choose to activate Crystal Beacon. Because my opponent is smart/played against this deck more times then we could count, he negates it. I follow up with Ancient City Rainbow Ruins. Here's where things get tricky. We were playing a 2v2 match, the Six Samurai teammate had a clear field, but my teammate had a Geartown.

Now, my friend is adamant in that the effect of Musakani Magatama can negate the activation of my Ancient City Rainbow Ruins as, he says, it would be destroying a card, which in this case is Geartown. I have tried to explain to him that when a Field Spell is activated, any existing Field Spell is destroyed by game mechanics, and not considered to have been destroyed by a card effect. Also, I have tried explaining to him that the effect of Musakani Magatama can only stop a card's effect to destroy a card, not by the game mechanics. However, he has remained obstinate and insists that in this case it would work.

Please, anyone shed some light to this particular ruling. Or try to explain a little more clearly as to why Musakani would do nothing here. Thanks in advance for reading this wall of text.XxSmootxx (talk • contribs) 17:15, October 11, 2012 (UTC)
