Forum:Core Blast

After a friend of mine decided to build a Koa'ki Meiru deck, we've come up with some problems regarding a specific card called Core Blast. There's a number of questions I would like to ask you to completely clarify how this card is played.

1) "You can only activate this card's effect while you control a face-up "Koa'ki Meiru" monster". Once per turn, during your Standby Phase, if your opponent controls... While this part of the text seemed quite straight-forward at first, after looking on the net about the card for a bit, most people gave me the idea that this card can only be played on the Standby Phase. Although I think it can be played at any time, but it only resolves on the Standby Phase(s), I would like you to clarify that if possible.

2) Can this card be negated by Starlight Road and Stardust Dragon? If not, why? If yes, when, why?

Thanks for your time. --Cuorion (talk • contribs) 19:40, April 20, 2011 (UTC)
