Forum:Exiled Force, Breaker the M.Warrior and Torrential Tribute Help

Ok, I have a question regarding the three cards stated in the title and Trap Hole. I need to know how ignition effects work in chains as i read two different answers from people regarding different situations. There are several situations that i need clarifying for as follows:

~1st: Player A summons Exiled Force and declares he wants to use the effect. Player B has Torrential Tribute set on the field.

Does player B miss the timing for Torrential Tribute as he needs to activate it when Exiled Force was summoned, or was the turn player supposed to give player B the chance to activate his card.

~2nd: Player A summons Exiled Force and declares he wants to use the effect. Player B has Trap Hole on set on the field.

Same situation as above. I read some effects where the monster that uses the Ignition Effect and has to pay a cost, which in this case is Tributing itself, therefore not on the field and cannot be killed by another card. Does this mean that if player B activated Trap Hole that Exiled Force's effect doesn't work? Also if the effect does work does Trap Hole stay on the field or was the card in a situation where it couldn't be activated. Or if it did work but the effect does go through, and following the chain trap hole doesn't have a target does it return face down or go to the graveyard.

~3rd: Player A summons Exiled Force and declares he wants to use the effect. Player B has Trap Hole on set on the field.

As stated above. Player A summons Exiled Force and passes priority to player B. Then, player B activates Trap Hole. In this situation can player A activate Exiled Force's effect? If so how does the chain work.

~4th: Player A summons Breaker the Magical Warrior. Player B has Trap Hole and Torrential Tribute set on the field.

As I understand chains, when a card is activated that allows for chains, they occur. But i don't know if this is legal. In this situation, Player A summons Breaker the Magical Warrior and passes priority to player B. Player B then decides to use Torrential Tribute. Can player A (Who doesn't have priority) use Breaker's effect to destroy the other face down card? Or was Torrential Tribute supposed to be activated right away after the summon occurred?

~5th:(The next questions aren't regarding the stated cards but just general questions)

-Lets say I have the card Skill Drain on my Spell/Trap field zone. Is the cost of the card a one time occurrence?

-Also for cards that state you can't preform a certain action after activation, can they be played after the action is done? For example, the card Scapegoat with the current lore states that If you activate this card, you cannot special summon any other monsters this turn. Is it possible to special summon a monster before hand and then activate this card during your Main Phase 2?

-For cards like Trap Hole and Bottomless Trap Hole, can they be activated at any point during your opponent's turn like right before the damage step in their Battle Phase or does it have to be activated right after the summon? For this case, i am asking because what if they equip some cards to the monster or use other effects by paying costs and only to have the monster destroyed before doing anything.

I know i am asking a lot of questions but this should help me clarify my understanding of how the game works in depth. Thanks in advance. --GN7S00 06:44, March 26, 2010 (UTC)
