Forum:Honest vs Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode

A couple of scenarios I'm wondering about. Please put the answer under the scenario so it'll help is there is an extended discussion.

I am under the impression that in scenario 1, Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode wins.

Your opponent attacks you, with the intention of using Honest to get a boost and destroy a monster
If SD/AM can negate Honest, then your opponent would be reduced to relying on the stats and/or effects of the monster it used to attack.

Your opponent attacks your SD/AM, then plays Honest to get a boost to destroy it
In this case, I'm guessing that Honest is counterable, but SD/AM is gone from the field, then a replay happens, and the opponent can choose another target. SD/AM comes back at the End Phase of the opponent's turn.

You attack Opponent's monster and opponent uses Honest on their monster
Similar to scenario 1, if SD/AM can counter Honest at all, then this move would only be to make sure that SD/AM doesn't participate during the Battle Phase (lol, don't blame them for trying ::wink::)

You attack Opponent's monster with SD/AM and opponent uses Honest on their monster
What I'm thinking is that since they are both the same speed, you can activate the effect of SD/AM, it gets sent to the graveyard, then a Replay happens, but w/o SD/AM on the field during the Battle Phase. SD/AM would then come back during the end phase.

This has been bugging me, because I know that deep down in my heart (not of the cards), Honest is not the End-All Be-All of cards that some make it out to be, part of the reason the Administation in YGO TCG allow three to be run in a deck.

I only ask this because my friend activated Honest and I was going to negate the sh** out of it, but I was told by another friend that since it "goes right from the hand to the graveyard" I couldn't do it.

Appreciate the insight, Duelers.
