Forum:On spell speed and trigger effects.

Say I normal summon Defender, The Magical Knight onto the field in face up attack. His effect allows me to place a spell counter on him when he is normal summoned, and remove one to prevent a spellcaster from being destroyed. I have no other monsters on my side of the field. My opponent activates Trap Hole in response. Does trap hole destroy Defender, The Magical Knight before his spell counter can save him?

If I were to play Tiger Dragon instead of Defender, and my opponent activated Trap Hole. Would his effect resolve and allow me to destroy two face down spell/trap cards my opponent controls?

Tiger Dragon's effect is a trigger effect, and can't be activated in response to Trap Hole right? Does Defender, The Magical Knight even get his spell counter before Trap Hole destroys him?
