Forum:Question about gameplay

When can my opponent activate a card on my turn?

The situation was:

I used Brain Control on my opponent's Super Conductor Tyranno. I then said I was going to tribute it for whatever I had in my hand, and my opponent used Compulsory Evacuation Device on the Tyranno, putting it back to his hand. I told him he couldn't do that because I had already decided to tribute it. He argued I didn't give him enough time to respond. The pause was about ten seconds before I decided to tribute it.

So how SHOULD that have worked? Zeek Aran 15:30, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
