Checking Multiple chains in the BP

Situation:
P1 has only one Dark Magician face-up on the field and a set s/t (previously setted).
P2 has only 2 set s/t.
P1 declares an direct attack. P2, in response, activates Sakuretsu Armor and P1 in chain activates 7 Tools. Can P2 still activate another Sakuretsu, Magic Cylinder or the "gap" to activate this sort of answer has already passed?
As I know, Waboku, Gravity Bind, Enemy Controller, Book of Moon etc. could be activated before the resolution of the attack (before Damage step is reached), but these cards don't have activation requirements (when a monster attacks etc), so that's why I'm asking.
I know that in response to an attack, Sakuretsu, 3x Draining Shields and Magic Cylinder could be activated, but the situation above is different.

Thanks in advance!

Since the last thing to have occured is no longer the declaration of an attack the timing would now be wrong for these cards.

*I know why you're confused John, but if you check the title he'd put on the thread it'll clear things up for you, he wasn't trying to chain but rather start a second chain.

Ahhh....gotcha <nodding> I still haven't learned not to try and answer anything before my first 32oz. of Diet Coke in the morning <blinking eyes quickly>

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain with the sleep in his eyes!

Pay attention to what-----> daivahataka<---he said!

Right, thanks!

But Waboku, EC, Gravity Bind etc can form a new chain before the attack resolves, right?
If P2 had 4 face-down s/t (3 Wabokus and 1 Sak, for example) and P1 3 set s/t (3x 7 Tools), P1 attacks, P2 tries to activate Sak, it's negated. P2 activates in a new chain Waboku, P1 negates it with the other 7 Tools (makes it 2 times). Finally, in a fourth chain, P2 activates Waboku, and P1 doesn't respond. It's all legal moves, right?

Thanks again

Yes because these cards have no timing associated with them, there's no necessary trigger for their activation.

*Gasp*:eek: You do know the surgeon general has issued warnings about operating highly technical machinery such as computers, lifts, mobile phones and calculators before your morning caffeine infusion!? You're putting yourself at risk of brainfry!:D

I know I've haven't been paying attention lately, but are we saying that after the resolution of the chain with Seven Tools of the Bandit that we can start a new chain after the current one resolves with another Spell Speed 2 as long as it isn't a card that requires an attack for it's activation requirement? Apparently I've been skipping these multiple chains in the Battle Phase threads because thats news to me.

Yes, that's what we're saying. Basically, as long as the card beginning the new chain does not have a limiting activation requirement, then it can be activated.

So...

Good example:
I declare attack, opponent activates "Sakuretsu Armor", I chain "Trap Jammer", opponent does not respond. Chain resolves, then opponent, in response to a card going to the Graveyard (he..he..he..), activates "Waboku" BEFORE we enter the Damage Step, I have no response. His monster is saved.

Bad example:
I declare attack, opponent activates "Sakuretsu Armor", I chain "Trap Jammer", opponent does not respond. Chain resolves, then opponent, in response to a card going to the Graveyard (he..he..he..), activates another "Sakuretsu Armor". This is NOT valid because the last thing to resolve in the game was the effect of "Trap Jammer", NOT the declaration of the attack.

Hope this helps!

Um...waaaay back before you went to Disney World.

[edit]Ok, let me clarify a little..lol. If I'm not mistaken, the whole multiple chains thing was somewhat carified, or talked about, or whatever, with a Judge's List response from Kevin back in either January or February of this year. I'll go look for it. It keeps getting linked in threads here so it shouldn't be too hard to find..lol.
