Priority vs Special Summon from Graveyard

A friend of mine is going to a tournament next sunday and he's having a problem.

A couple of judges are judging at that tournament and they're all saying that you can't use your priority when you special summon a monster from the graveyard with Premature Burial, or something like that.

I'm saying that isn't true and that you can use priority when you special summon a monster from the grave, but they won't believe me or my friend until he has some proof of it.

Can you please help me?

Thanks.

Well first, you roll up your pants, wear a bandana, and then get in their "grill" by showing them a print-out from the judges list on exactly how priority works. Then you walk away with a smile on your face as you just schooled those judges with a piece of paper.

But either way, when you summon a monster you retain priority to activate an Ignition Effect or Spell Speed 2 or higher card.

You know still priority is a bother. What if for instance I Special Summon a monster and retain priority to activate Mystical Space Typhoon? How does my opponent now responde to its summon?

Simple, he/she can chain to Mystical Space Typhoon with Torrential Tribute or something like that.

What happens when he uses Magic Jammer to negate MST? Does the summon then go unresponded to?

It depends on what you mean with unresponded. If you mean that you can't use Torrential after that, you're right, because the last thing that happened was the chain link with MST and not the summoning.

Um..no, it's because the last thing to be activated was a Spell Speed 3 Trap Card. From there on out, you can only respond with other Spell Speed 3 Trap cards and it no longer is about responding to the Special Summon, it's about responding to the last card activated.

I didn't mean that. I didn't mean in the same chain, I meant when the chain with MST had resolved.

Remember, you only get one chance to repsond to the summoning of a monster. If through the process of chaining your BTH gets negated or anything like that, you're just out of luck from that point on.

Not entirely true. The last thing to happen is still the summoning of the monster if for example they summon, use ignition effect, opponent responds to the summon with Bottomless Trap Hole, player with summon flips Royal Decree, opponent ends the chain by flipping over Trap Hole. Trap Hole will still get the last laugh.

Your opponent doesn't respond Bottomless Trap Hole to the summon, he chains it to the effect of the monster ;)

Well, yes and no. I think this is one of the 'sore' points that Tiso was eluding to earlier.

The fact that you can respond/chain to more than one thing in the Summon Response chain.

Yes, you are CHAINING to the effect of the monster, but you are still RESPONDING to the Summon of that monster.

I thought that responding to something always uses chain link 1 :S

I know that you can chain to more than 1 thing in a summon response chain.

He's talking about one response point or chain.

After that chain has resolved the summon response timing is over.
