Forum:General Raiho vs Stardust

So I just pulled General Raiho of the Ice Barrier and I just want to make sure of conditions where his effect applies. Can or does his effect negate cards that are no longer on the field when they resolve like Stardust Dragon? Stardust (as we all know) activates on the field and tributes himself as a cost, and then resolves in the Graveyard. Because General Raiho says "activated by your opponent's Effect Monster on the field" does that mean that the effect had to be activated on the field or that the effect monster still has to be on the field when it's effect resolves?

And on a side note, do you question answer-ers get tired of putting that signature message after answering questions? It seems to happen a lot. (I know I would). And do you guys get paid for this or is it just a hobby? --Joejaboy (talk • contribs) 03:11, June 8, 2011 (UTC)
