Forum:Chaos Hunter essential rulings

'Chaos Hunter: When your opponent Special Summons a monster, you can discard 1 card to Special Summon this card from your hand. Your opponent cannot remove cards from play.'

'''1) You have Macro Cosmos, Chaos Hunter and a Mystic Tomato on your side of the field. Your opponent destroys Mystic Tomato by battle. Is your Mystic Tomato considered to be removed by your opponent (and thus sent to the Graveyard because of Chaos Hunter) or by you (and thus removed)?

(Note: I think that Chaos Hunter does not prevent your own Macro Cosmos from removing cards, and that it would only prevent your opponent's Macro Cosmos, but I'm not 100% sure whether the fact that your opponent is attacking implies that your opponent is trying to remove your card.)

2) You have Macro Cosmos and Chaos Hunter on your side of the field. Your opponent has Mystic Tomato. Chaos Hunter attacks and destroys Mystic Tomato. Is Mystic Tomato sent to the Graveyard or removed from play?

(Note: I think that Chaos Hunter does not prevent your own Macro Cosmos from removing anything, but i'm not 100% sure whether the fact that it is your opponent's card that is getting removed implies that your opponent is trying to remove it.)

3) Your opponent has Mystic Tomato and Macro Cosmos active on his side of the field. You have Chaos Hunter. Chaos Hunter attacks and destroys Mystic Tomato. Is Mystic Tomato sent to the Graveyard or removed from play?

4) Your opponent has Macro Cosmos active on his side of the field. You have Mystic Tomato. Your opponent Special Summons Cyber Dragon. You Special Summon Chaos Hunter. Cyber Dragon attacks Mystic Tomato. Does Chaos Hunter prevent your opponent's Macro Cosmos from removing your Mystic Tomato, or is Mystic Tomato sent to the Graveyard?

(Note: The reason I ask this is because your opponent's Macro Cosmos was activated before Chaos Hunter was Special Summoned to the field, so i'm not sure whether this fact gives the effect of Macro Cosmos priority over the effect of Chaos Hunter.)

5) Your opponent has Mystic Tomato. You attack and destroy it. Mystic Tomato Special Summons another Mystic Tomato in the Damage Step. Can you Special Summon Chaos Hunter? If yes, is Chaos Hunter Special Summoned in the Damage Step or after, or do you choose?

6) Your opponent Special Summons Kuraz the Light Monarch. Are you allowed to Special Summon Chaos Hunter after Kuraz's effect resolves? Are you allowed to Special Summon Chaos Hunter before Kuraz's effect resolves; if yes, can your opponent choose to destroy Chaos Hunter? Are you allowed to choose whether to Special Summon Chaos Hunter before or after Kuraz's effect resolves?

(Note: The answer to this question should determine whether Chaos Hunter can prevent such removal effects as that of Delg the Dark Monarch when it is Special Summoned.)

7) You activate Mystical Space Typhoon, targetting your opponent's face-down card. Your opponent chains Scapegoat. Scapegoat resolves, Special Summoning four tokens, and then Mystical Space Typhoon resolves, destroying the targetted card. Are you allowed to Special Summon Chaos Hunter at the end of the chain, i.e. does your opponent's Spell/Trap card which Special Summons have to be the last to resolve (Chain Link 1) for you to be allowed to Special Summmon Chaos Hunter, or can your opponent's Spell/Trap card which Special Summons be at a higher Chain Link than Chain Link 1?
