Forum:Uria VS Bottomless Trap

My friend and I recently had a discussion over Uria, Lord of Searing Flames and Bottomless Trap Hole. I would like someone to clarify this for me because he is a first level judge.

I was origionally told a while ago that Uria created three chains when he is summoned:
 * 1st Chain - Uria Summon chain, Send three Continuous traps to Graveyard and Summon Uria
 * 2nd Chain - Able to use cards that negate the summon such as Solemn Judgment
 * 3rd Chain - Able to use cards that do not negate the Special Summon but can be chained to the summon. (Trap Hole, Bottomless Trap Hole, Threatening Roar, etc.)

I have been told that Uria's ability, if I was to use it immediately, would be chain link one on the third chain (after Solemn Judgement could be used but before Bottomless). Because of this, activating this card's effect with priority would prevent my opponent from being able to activate Bottomless Trap Hole and the like.

My friend says that Uria's summon MUST be able to be chained against by the opponent due to a new order by Konami to always allow Optional effects to activate when Summons occur and as such my opponent can chain Bottomless Trap Hole. He also says that there isn't three chains it instead goes as follows:
 * In responce to (Uria is summoned):
 * Chain link 1 - (opponent's choice such as Bottomless Trap Hole)
 * Chain link 2 - I gain ability to activate Uria's effect.

However! He says that the chain would be Uria first and Bottomless second because Uria is a Spell Speed 1. He then claims that Bottomless will kill Uria even though Uria's ability doesn't allow a trap or spell to chain after its activation. This, he says, is because the opponent has to be able to chain because my priority is used with summoning Uria. Bottomless isn't negated nor anything else because it is an optional effect "when your opponent Summons a monster(s) with 1500 or more ATK". It still will destroy and remove from play Uria.

Can anyone clarify this for me? --LordGeovanni 16:45, May 28, 2010 (UTC)
