You can Special Summon "Lava Golem" onto your opponent's side of the field and then use "Bottomless Trap Hole" to destroy it (sending 2 of your opponent's monsters to the Graveyard and giving him nothing in return).

there you have it.

Yes you can Bottomless Trap Hole the Lava Golem summoning but regardless you or your opponent will still be short of two monsters on their field.

And might I point out that in spite of the ruling Skidster quoted, it has not yet been explained why you can Bottomless Trap Hole both the Lava Golem summoned by your opponent and the Lava Golem summoned by you.

My guess is that if you summon it to their field, it's their monster, and as such can be BTH-ed. When they summon theirs, they started the summon, so you can BTH it??? I DUNNO! NO SENSE!!

I'm betting Kevin's little sojourn to Japan didn't include a precise clarification of the Summon Mechanic.

 

[Akabane]

Yeah, i'm betting you'd deffinantly be right on that.

 

[Raijinili]

Wait, where does it say you can do it on one summoned to your field?

I know I saw it, but where?

Attention Judges,

Konami has recently made some reversals to 3 old rulings. All of the new rulings are listed below and can also be found on the official website.

Elemental Hero Flame Wingman

If your “Elemental Hero Flame Wingman” destroys a “Fusilier Dragon, the Dual-Mode Beast” that was Summoned without Tribute, inflict 2800 damage to your opponent’s Life Points.


Deck Devastation Virus

You can Tribute a face-down DARK monster with 2000 ATK for the cost of this card.


Lava Golem

If you Special Summon "Lava Golem" onto your opponent’s side of the field they can activate "Bottomless Trap Hole" since you performed the Summon. You could not activate "Bottomless Trap Hole" even though the "Lava Golem" will be on their side of the field.
