Forum:Continuous traps AGAIN

Team dual, these two issues came up.

One, Player 2A declared an attack on my face up Sangan. Player 2B chained Macro Cosmos. Player 1A [my partner] chained MST to it. The chain ended. Player 2A said my Sangan would still be removed from play. All four of us debated, and they decided to let me put Sangan in the graveyard, although Player 2A still believed it should have been removed from play.

I'm pretty sure he's wrong, but I'd like a clarification.

Two, I had Stumbling face up on my side of the field. I made a mistake and summoned my BEWD, so I activated Pole Position immediately. I was sure that would protect BEWD from Stumbling's effect. Another arguement started, and it was decided that I'm careless and should think about looking at my own field.

Anyway, this is how I believe trap cards should work, but as I already said, I need clarification. Macro Cosmos did not resolve, as it was destroyed. Its effect would not work if it did not resolve. Therefore, Sangan goes to the graveyard, not RFP. Stumbling is a spell, so has a normal spell speed. Pole Position is a trap, and is faster, therefore it's effect goes in first. It's a continuous, non-optional effect, unlike The Dragon's Bead, and like Royal Decree, for example. Therefore, BEWD would not be in defense. Zeek Aran 02:36, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
