Forum:Greed + Barrel Behind the Door

I like running decks with uncommon means of dealing damage, and most recently that has been a Greed Burn deck. I run Appropriate as my draw engine and use Barrel Behind the Door to protect my own life points while dealing double or more damage to my opponent, but using Barrel in combination with Greed has been a problem for some. Let this be an example:


 * •Greed is face up.
 * •Appropriate is face up.
 * •Flip summon Morphing Jar.
 * •Use Barrel Behind the Door.
 * •Opponent takes 6000 damage to life points instead of 2500 for them, 3500 for me.

Using Barrel with Greed wasn't my idea, but some people have had a problem with it. So far this is all i can find to defend my argument:

"You can chain to the effect of Greed that inflicts damage."

And Barrel reads:

"Activate only when a card's effect that would inflict damage to you is activated."

So my logic is, if you can chain to the damage dealing effect, it is considered "activating".

Another question is when do I activate Barrel? Do I activated it when the effect making them draw activates, do I activate it when they draw, or do I activate it in the End Phase, when Greed deals its damage?
