If guardian sphinx or swarm of locusts are summon and my oponnet respond activing trap hole for destroy this card. I can use your second effect to flipped in face-down position for negate trap hole?

and i thought this was going to be another.... if i flip summon then attack can i use the effect to flip him down? and if it is already up then I use the effect to flip him down can i then flip summon him? //// question.. Glad it wasnt or i was going to light this thread on fire...
Oh.. and on topic : his effect is spell speed 1... so the trap is always faster.!! ...... wait.. what if Sphynx is flipped up, and CED is chained to his effect sending him to the hand? does his effect still go through??

As far as I know, yes, it will still resolve properly. He does not have to be on the field for his effect to resolve. The effect only requires he be Flip Summoned.

I made a mistake about the priority question. The opponent doesn't have to ask, because you can't use priority anymore for sphinx, because the first chain link will be the bouncing of the monsters to the opponent's hand.

So it goes like this:

Activation:
Sphinx: Bouncing -> Trap Hole

Resolution:
Trap Hole -> Bouncing

Don't you have to manually flipp GS to get its effect? I thought that if it was attacked while it was face down that it would flipp up and not send the monsters to there oners hands do to not being manually flipped.

I don't think Kingpinopie suggested that Guardian Sphinx was being flipped by an attack in his scenario. He just asked if Compulsory was chained to GS's effect what would happen. The answer would be, yes, GS's effect still goes through and GS returns to it's owners hand. GS does not have to select itself for it's effect (unlike Brain Jacker) so it doesn't have to be on feld for the resolution of it's effect to get it's effect.

Ah, well, in my earlier post, as well, I was just going by the fact that the topic poster just said "summoned" and not "flip-summoned", of which there would be a bit of difference in the issue of Trap Hole, since if they're just summoned but not flip-summoned, there's no effect going off, and he should have priority to put them face-down if he wanted.

then....
if i flip-summon Guardian Sphinx and my opponet active Trap Hole, i can't use your effect for flipped-down defense position and escape from Trap Hole?

Nope, read my last post :)

As soon as you flip summon Guardian Sphinx, his effect of bouncing your opponents monsters will be automatically chain link 1.

Then your opponent chains Trap Hole to the activation of the effect.

The only way to put him in face-down defense and escape from Trap Hole in the same chain is to play Book of Moon on Guardian Sphinx, because it's also Spell Speed 2, just like Trap Hole.

I read. my question is because multi-trigger effect have spell speed 2, if guardian sphinx is multi-trigger effect, he can chain with trap hole

why konami don't write effect and multi-trigger effect in yours cards?:mad:

I thought he was talking about Choas Empor Dragon (CED)

He said that CED is chained to the effect so that guardian sphinx will be sent back to the owner's hand.. Chaos Emperor Dragon doesn't send a card from the field to someone's hand ;)

Nope he was refering to Compulsory Evacuation Device. But I understand how you could have gotten the two confused. Sometimes we use abbreviations with realizing nobody has a clue what were talking about. :)

I wonder who's spreading the idea that Guardian Sphinx is a multi-trigger effect. Because I've been hearing this from others latley.

That would be great if it was, but as soon as your opponent attacks him, his mouth starts watering if he has a Snatch Steal in his hand. Basically a free monster!
