Forum:Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode Vs. Solemn Judgement

This situation came up with my Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode vs. my opponents Solemn Judgement.

Myself, (Player 1) Activates Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode's effect during my turn to negate a Spell/Trap/Effect, My opponent passes priority and lets it happen. Then,Player 1 end's his turn, Allowing Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode card to special Summon itself from the graveyard, Player 2 chains Solemn Judgement to my Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode's special summoning. I Know I cannot negate it with Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode's effect, due to Solemn Judgement being a counter trap. But....

I don't believe Player 2 CAN activate Solemn Judgement in this situation, on two possible counts.

Firstly, doesn't Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode's 2nd effect that activate's in the graveyard, happen during the resolution of its effect? Therefor you can't chain Solemn Judgement to its resolution, since you can only chain to activations, am I right?

Second, doesn't Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode's 2nd Special Summoning effect stem from its Monster effects that activate in the Graveyard? Isn't it linked to the first effect? And Solemn Judgement CANNOT Negate Monster effects, I know it can negate inherent special summoning effects like Cyber Dragon, that do NOT start a chain. But does Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode's 2nd effect of Special Summoning itself back from the Graveyard start a chain? Therefor not letting Player 2 Counter with Solemn Judgemnt?

Thanks in advance guys 71.194.138.216 16:18, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
