Forum:Several Questions

Hey, so I got a few questions after some dueling yesterday. Decided to make a list while we played, since we're both relatively new and don't know all the various rulings.

1. I attacked my opponent with an Elemental Hero, can't remember which, Skyscraper was active on the field and my monster's attack was raised by 1000. After I declare an attack my opponent plays the card Magic Cylinder. Question is.. Do I take damage equal to the monster's original ATK or combined with the extra 1000?

2. My opponent uses the trap card Compulsory Evacuation Device on a Fusion monster I control, but obviously the card can't come to my hand right? Do I just have to return it to the Fusion deck?

3. Does Draining Shield target the opponent's monster or does it work more like Negate Attack? Actually for that matter does Negate Attack target?

4. I play the card H - Heated Heart, does it immediately go to the graveyard after it's effects are applied? In a way it seems like it's a one-turn equip card but I don't know if I'm supposed to throw it to the graveyard immediately after I use it or at the end of that turn.

5. My opponent Flip Summons Swarm of Locusts and targets my only set trap card, which I chain to the flip effect, it's Trap Hole. This is how I think it should go: The effect of Trap Hole resolves and destroys Swarm of Locusts, and now even if the flip effect resolves there is no target for it, since Trap Hole has since moved. Firstly, am I correct that this is how it'd work? And second, if another set card was targeted by Swarm of Locusts, would the effect still resolve even though it is now in the graveyard?

I think that's all.. Any help would be appreciated. Radaeron 10:00, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
