Forum:Starlight road doubt

this was the scenario between me and my opponent in my last duel with him:

His turn: He attacked me with his monster(it was the ONLY monster on his side of  the field), and then I activated mirror force. But...he then activated Starlight road....now here is my doubt...but before that..let me place the description of Mirror Force and Starlight Road.

Mirror Force When an opponent's monster declares an attack: Destroy all Attack Position monsters your opponent controls.

Starlight Road Activate only when an effect is activated that would destroy 2 or more cards you control. Negate the effect and destroy that card. Then, you can Special Summon 1 "Stardust Dragon" from your Extra Deck.

now under starlight road...it clearly states that, if an effect is activated that would destroy two or more cards you control, then the card is negated and then destroyed...which means that if he had at least two monsters on his side of the field...then he would have been able to activate Starlight Road...however...if it had said could then, of course mirror force is negated and destroyed.

compare the starlight road texts if this was the case...and think about it:

Original card effect version Activate only when an effect is activated that would destroy 2 or more cards you control. Negate the effect and destroy that card. Then, you can Special Summon 1 "Stardust Dragon" from your Extra Deck.

Card effect version 2 Activate only when an effect is activated that could destroy 2 or more cards you control. Negate the effect and destroy that card. Then, you can Special Summon 1 "Stardust Dragon" from your Extra Deck.

this is just what I think, what do you think? Do you agree or disagree? can you please explain?--198.54.202.234 (talk) 14:47, September 9, 2011 (UTC)
