Bringing back a new discussion because I've been thinking about it a lot more with Deck Devastation Virus semi-restricted.
Player A has a face up defense Giant Orc and a Set Deck Devastation Virus. Player B has a face up Don Zaloog and two Sheep Token. Player B also has Apprentice Magician and Tsukuyomi in hand. Player B has a Set My Body as a Shield.
It's at the beginning of Player B's turn and he draws and then enters Standby Phase. Player A activates his Deck Devastation Virus and tributes his Giant Orc to the Graveyard for the cost. Player B chains My Body as a Shield.
In the previous discussion about this situation, we aGreed that Deck Devastation Virus would be negated because we knew that My Body as a Shield would destroy something. However, Deck Devastation Virus and the way the card is worded doesn't destroy anything until resolution of the card.
My Body as a Shield can't chain to cards that may or may not destroy a monster. This would imply that My Body as a Shield couldn't chain to Deck Devastation Virus.
Anyone else seeing this? I want to make sure that we weren't skewing the game mechanics before with the lack of understanding them compared to how we understand them now. The discussion was quite a while ago too.
I just want to make sure we have a definite understanding between these two cards. Some of us judges have regionals this weekend and I for one feel that these two cards will be used and this situation will come up at least once or twice at the regional I'm judging at.
