Forum:Card Guard and Future Visions

My opponent has Future Visions in play. My opponent summons Card Guard. What happens? He claims that since Card Guard was summoned it gains a counter. Then he says he can claim priority to move the counter onto Future Visions before Card Guard gets removed from play because of Future Visions. Then next turn when Card Guard special summons itself back into play he claims he would get another counter since it was summoned again which he also puts on Future Visions.

My complaint here is that I do not believe that you can use priority to move a counter from one card to another card because it is not an optional trigger effect and that must be the case in order to declare priority, correct? So Chaos Sorcerer can use priority to remove a monster before a bottomless trap hole would remove it from the field or Caius The Shadow Monarch could use priority to remove from play a card before Future Visions removes him from play. Am I correct? Or can priority be used to move counters?

Also in the case of Caius...if I summon Caius and I target Future Visions. Then Caius is removed from play and then Future Visions is removed from play since chains resolve backwards. Will Caius come back in play my next standby phase or will he have to stay out of play since Future Visions has left the field?

Also what would happen if I summon a monarch and the opponent chains Forbidden Chalice to my effect? Do I lose the effect?
