Forum:Soul Rope question

I've stumbled upon the card Soul Rope and thought it was decent. I thought about including it my deck since my decks sometimes struggle with getting the right cards (for instance Bazoo the Soul-Eater has slightly too much ATK to be searched by Giant Rat).

But then I read, that the monster has to be destroyed outside of the damage step. Does that mean that destruction by battle won't trigger the card? --BronzeJohnson (talk • contribs) 19:50, October 23, 2013 (UTC)
