Forum:Monster attack vs card effect that removes that monster from the field

I am really curious about this one. If a monster attacks an opponent's monsters but the opponent responds with a card that removes the attacking monster from the field. Is the monster's attack negated? Example. I played a Dark magician and i attacked my opponent's Speed Warrior, but my opponent respond's with sakuretsu armor, destroying the attacking moster. Is Speed Warrior destroyed because Dark Magician attacked him or not because Dark Magician was destroyed by the trap card.EaZyeZor16 22:20, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
