Last Will Question

If my opponent wanted to negate the summoning of my monster by the effects of Last Will, does he have to negate Last Will at the time of activation of Last Will or can he use something (i.e. solemn judgment) at the time of the summoning of the monster to negate its summon?

Thanks

Just to piggy back a bit on what densetsu_x is saying, Last Will, after successful resolution, creates a continuous "state" where if a monster on your side of the field is sent to the graveyard you can special summon another. Sure the conditions within this state seem quite triggerable, but they aren't because that are already locked within the "state" that has resolved way back when.

It's a little like how after Wave-Motion Cannon has been activated, you can't use a Magic Jammer or other negators as such to stop its "explosion" effect. Once Wave-Motion Cannon has activated and resolved properly, it has this effect built into it.

Hope this helps.

Doesn't really negate it, just delays it since the opponent can't send it for damage, it doesn't make it permanently unusable like Magic Jammer, Spell Shield Type-8 and Solemn Judgement would.
In fact with IO out it WMC still continues to powerup so it really does just keep the opponent from gaining anything by sending it to the Graveyard until IO is destroyed/negated.
And that the effect of WMC can be negated even though the card itself wasn't is my point, can the same not be applied to Last Will's effect?

Royal Oppression should be able to negate the summon either way, but as to Solemn Judgement/Horn of Heaven? The Spell card has already resolved so the summon isn't occuring as part of its resolution, but rather as part of the resolution of a delayed trigger effect it created. I don't believe that Solemn Judgement/HoH can be used against monsters summoned by external effects so I think Royal Oppression's the only card that can currently negate a summon via Last Will's condition.

Imperial Order doesn't prevent the Cost from being paid, and you can still activate Spell Cards just not the effect, so if it requires a cost to "activate", you can still do so, just without getting any effect.

Last Will is in the Graveyard when it's effect resolves, leaving a condition placed on the field for that turn that cannot be negated (conditions cannot be negated, only effects).

Wave-Motion Cannon is sent to the Graveyard to activate the effect, which is not a condition, but a cost.

Don't mean to play Devil's Advocate (ok so I enjoy a good debate, is it a crime?;) ) but, with WMC it's true that you can't negate WMC after it's resolved, but can't you chain to (Hallowed Life Barrier, or Ceasefire when you've a Des Wombat face down, etc...), and negate, it's effect when it tries to deal the damage?

Magic Jammer can't be used because you have to chain it to Card Activation, not to Effect Activation.

Plus Magic Jammer cannot be chained to cards activated off-field, although that is unrelated to the WMC scenario.

I know, I really shouldn't have said "and negate, it's effect when it tries to deal the damage" I just meant negate the damage. I'll edit it to prevent further confusion of what I was getting at.

As far as Last Will.

You should be able to use SJ, but it must be chained when you activate the card itself. You cannot wait until it Triggers.

Royal Opression can be used in 2 spots, when the card is activated and when the effect Triggers.

Jowgen will prevent Last Will from resolving.
