Forum:Skill Drain & Bottomless Trap Hole vs Obelisk The Tormentor (tournament legal version)


 * I was dueling a friend of mine yesterday and we have been unable to continue the duel because of a major complication. We paused the game and will resume it once we figure out who is right and who is wrong.  Everything is still on the table as is and we both made a promise to each other that we wouldn't look at the face-downs on the opposing player's field and deck.

ME: 1 "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon" in attack mode, 1 "The Creator" in face-up defense mode, 3 face-down cards in the spell/trap zone.

MY FRIEND: 1 "Cyber Dragon" in face-up defense mode, 1 "Newdoria" in attack mode, 1 "Proto Cyber Dragon" in face-up defense mode, and 2 face-down cards in the spell/trap zone.

Here is what happend next, it was my friends turn...

(1) He draws a card and smiled maliciously

(2) He said, "Prepare to feel the wrath of OBELISK"

(3) I responded, "Face-down activate, SKILL DRAIN!"

(4) He summons "Obelisk The Tormentor"

(5) I responded, "Face-down activate, BOTTOMLESS TRAP HOLE!"

(6) He said, "That won't work because it says that the summoning of OBELISK cannot be negated by the effects of monsters, spells, and traps."

(7) I responded, "That would be true if my SKILL DRAIN wasn't already active on the field."

(8) He said, "No, it doesn't matter because it tells you on the card that you can't do that."

(9) I responded, "Yes it matters because that is part of OBELISK's effect that just got negated."

Please help us out here so that we can get on with our duel. We thank you very much for your assistance regarding this matter! :D
