Forum:Harpies' Hunting Ground + Offerings to the Doomed

I was observing my friends dueling. Harpies' Hunting Ground was already in play. Harpie Queen was special summoned by Monster Reborn and his opponent activates Offerings to the Doomed to destroy Harpie Queen. His opponents argues that he cannot destroy one Spell/Trap on the field because the opponent activated Offerings to the Doomed and destroyed Harpie Queen and argued... that Offerings to the Doomed was faster.

I argued that how can he target Harpie Queen if it was not summoned, meaning Harpie Queen needs to be summoned first and will be on the field in order for Offerings to the Doomed to target and destroyed Harpie Queen. That means the effect of Harpies' Hunting Ground will work.

Am I correct?

Harpie's Hunting Ground: When "Harpie Lady" or "Harpie Lady Sisters" is Normal Summoned or Special Summoned, destroy 1 Spell or Trap Card on the field. All face-up Winged Beast-Type monsters gain 200 ATK and DEF.

Harpie Queen: You can discard this card to the Graveyard to add 1 "Harpies' Hunting Ground" from your Deck to your hand. This card's name is treated as "Harpie Lady" while it is on the field or in the Graveyard.

Offerings to the Doomed: Destroy 1 face-up monster. Skip your next Draw Phase. --24.1.162.116 (talk) 19:09, June 18, 2011 (UTC)
