Card Rulings talk:Makyura the Destructor


 * Interaction with Hand Destruction

I'm not quite sure about the interaction between [Makyura the Destructor]] and Hand Destruction, since the effect of the first one is both optional and continuos. Normally, a Trigger effect which activates when a card is send to the Graveyard can't be activated if sending the card to the Graveyard wasn't the last action performed (see Peten the Dark Clown); a Continuous Monster Effects, instead, is always on no matter when the action which activated it was performed. Card Rulings:A Feather of the Phoenix (which is similar to Hand Destruction since discarding cards is a cost AND after that another effect occurs) specifies that, when Makyura is discarded in order to pay the cost for A Feather of the Phoenix, Makyura's effect is considered to be activated.Which one is correct? Does Makyura's effect activate when it is discarded to Hand Destruction? Gilbert Gosseyn III 13:12, November 13, 2009 (UTC)
