Netrep Q&As

Q: If “Thousand Eyes Restrict” is Special Summoned and declares the activation of its effect on the opponent's “Gemini Elf”, can the opponent activate “Ring of Destruction”? A: The player controlling the "Ring of Destruction" could activate it when "Thousand Eyes Restrict" targets "Gemini Elf" with its effect. They could destroy the "Gemini Elf" in a chain. You could use "Ring of Destruction" and target the "Thousand Eyes Restrict" if you want to. You would use the same chain I demonstrated earlier, only the "Thousand Eyes Restrict" would be destroyed and would not be able to resolve its effect properly. Curtis Schultz, 02/18/2004
