Forum:Hyunlei/Darksoul Ruling

Hello, this is to clear up all confusion about a very interesting ruling question that's come up lately.

Turn player A sends Rescue Cat to the graveyard to special summon X Saber Airbellum and XX Saber Darksoul to the field, and them sends them to the graveyard for the synchro summon of XX Saber Hyunlei and targets Player B's 3 backrow.

Question: Can Player B chain Starlight Road to the effect of Hyunlei?

This has caused mass confusion over at a local store nearby, as they argue that Darksoul's effect causes a miss-time. However, since this is a Simultaneous Effects Go On Chain instance, and the trigger of Darksoul's effect is mandatory regardless of whether or not you choose to add an X Saber to your hand when it's effect resolves and Hyunlei is Optional, logic would lead to Darksoul's effect being chain link 1 and Hyunlei's being chain link 2, making it possible to react with Starlight Road, correct? Rulings on Darksoul state that it's effect triggers once it hits the grave. --Phoenix25 (talk • contribs) 18:49, July 13, 2010 (UTC)
