Confirming Snipe Hunter

[Dr Sin]

Just to confirm:
when you activate SH effect, you choose the card at the activation then immediately discards a card from hand (because it's a cost).
Then, if your opponent wants to activate the card, he has to activate this before the dice roll, similarly as Blowback Dragon coin flip, because the dice roll happens at the resolution of the effect, right?
Thanks

Sounds about right, yes.

You chain to the activation of an effect, not the Cost being paid for it, so once the Target is declared after the Cost is paid, you would chain to the declaration, and not the Dice Roll.

Also, Discard first, Select second. It's right in his card text. Discarding after the card was activated would be part of the Effect, as Cost are always paid first, which is why Snipe Hunter and Dark World do not work well as far as the "trigger" portion of the Discard.

Yeah, I was just trying to specify a "linear sequence" to make things clear, but:

It seems that for some reason I swapped the order. Of course I knew it was a cost (if it were not, then this card would be godly), thanks for noting this mistake.
The correct sequence is:
TP declares he is going to use SH effect, discards a card from hand, declares his target on the field. Now, if NTP wants to activate the card targeted, he can do it only at this time.
