Forum:Machine Emperors miss the timing?

I have a face up monster and a set Destruct Potion. my opponent uses MST to destroy my trap, and then i used my trap(chained) and resolves normally. After my trap has been resolved, can i summon any Machine Emperor or it will miss the chance because of MST resolving to destroy nothing? Can i summon any Machine Emperor during the damage step? Ex. ryko targeting my own monster.

can i summon any Machine Emperor if my monster self destructs? (like Spirit Reaper) thanksJune23ly (talk • contribs) 01:12, August 29, 2010 (UTC)
