Forum:Ancient Gear Beast vs Sangan

So, some people at my local hobby stare claim that when Sangan is destroyed by Ancient Gear Beast, Sangan's effect DOES activate since it activates on the graveyard. According to what I've learned by the rulings and whatnot, it's effect is supposed to be negated. I mean, heck, otherwise it'd be useless. Any other monster with a card-searching effect would still manage to activate. But tell me, is this right? Does Sangan's effect activate? And if it doesn't, can someone PLEASE give me a detailed explanation why and how Ancient Gear Beast does negate Sangan? 201.163.87.158 02:57, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
