Royal Decree vs Seven Tools

[Wizit]

Hello

Can Seven Tools of the Bandit be chained to the activation of Royal Decree to negate it?

I almost think 'yes' because of the whole chain thing. However, if you look at the wording for Royal Decree, it says 'While this card is face-up on the field...' so no further Traps can be activated at all, even in response.

Which is correct, please?

Thanks

Yes, you can chain Seven Tools to Royal Decree's activation and negate and destroy Royal Decree.

Royal Decree's effect doesn't become active until it resolves.

Seven Tools of the Bandit is a counter-trap

Meaning it counters the activation of a trap card, it does not give Royal Decree enough time to resolve. Same thing goes when you chain Call of the Haunted or Dust Tornado to Royal Decree, their effects still activate.

Also, Royal Decree only negates traps (when it has resolved). You can still activate traps.

That's one of the main differences between Jinzo and Royal Decree.

That's what makes Royal Decree a better option for me than Jinzo. You end up with dead cards on the field and hand while Jinzo is active.

At least with Royal Decree, you dont have to send them to the Graveyard from hand cause you have too many cards, and you can activate the ones that are set, and still be able to play your Spells if you manage to get stuck with a full S/T Zone.
