Forum:Effect activation order

If a spell card is activated that destroys cards on your side of the field as a cost, and the destroyed cards have effects that activate when they are sent to the Graveyard, are their effects activated before or after the effect of the first card is resolved?

For example, if I were to play Reversal Quiz while Horn of the Unicorn was on my side of the field, would it return to the top of my deck as soon as it is sent to the Graveyard, or would it not do so until the effect of Reversal quiz is finished?

Also, what about when cards are sent to the Graveyard from the hand as a cost, and have effects that activate as a result? For example, if I were to play Final Destiny, and discard a card like Goldd, Wu-Lord of Dark World from my hand to activate its effect, would Goldd, Wu-Lord of Dark World be special summoned before or after all cards on the field are destroyed?
