Forum:Scrubbed Raid chain rulings

I have two questions concerning Scrubbed Raid. However, you should first note that one of the rulings on Scrubbed Raid is, 'You cannot activate the effect of a face-up "Scrubbed Raid" multiple times in the same Chain.' Note the word 'effect' in this ruling, since it doesn't mean activating the card; you can activate it without using the effect, as you can with any continuous trap card, for example you can flip Royal Oppression when no special summon is being conducted. Now, on to my questions:

(1) It is your opponent's battle phase. You activate your set Raid without using the effect, you chain Jar of Greed, you chain Legacy of Yata-Garasu, you chain Accumulated Fortune (your opponent passes on all cards). Can you now chain the effect of the Scrubbed Raid you activated as chain link 1 to Accumulated Fortune?

(2) Your opponent declares an attack. You activate the effect of Battle Fader (note: it would special summon upon the resolution of its effect, simultaneously ending the battle phase). You chain Jar of Greed. You chain the effect of Scrubbed Raid. You chain Accumulated Fortune (just for the sake of understanding why I am asking the following question). Since Scrubbed Raid sends you to the end step of the battle phase, does Battle Fader remain in the hand (serving as a mere chain link to make Accumulated Fortune activatable), or is it special summoned during the end step? 94.14.142.60 (talk) 15:56, February 17, 2012 (UTC)
