Forum:Ultimate Providence versus immune targets and summoning effects

Ultimate Providence specifically says: "When a Spell/Trap Card, or monster effect, is activated: Discard the same type of card (Monster, Spell, or Trap); negate the activation, and if you do, destroy that card". However, what happens with Darkest Diabolos' effect that mentions the inability of becoming the target of card effects? The misunderstanding comes from the fact that the wording of "Ultimate Providence" says that it targets the effect and destroys the source of the effect. Is Diabolos still immune against this trap card although it seems that merely the effect is being targeted?

And how does it work with Legendary Maju Garzett (Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set. Must be Special Summoned (from your hand) by Tributing all monsters you control. This card's ATK becomes the combined original ATK of the Tributed monsters. If this card attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing battle damage) or Archfiend Emperor, the First Lord of Horror" (when summoned without tributing so its ATK is being halved)? Are these activated effects and hence negatable by "Ultimate Providence"? XNekurax (talk • contribs) 23:16, November 12, 2018 (UTC)
