Skill Drain and Slate Warrior

If my opp's Cyber Dragon destroys my Slate Warrior it loses 500 ATK/DEF.
If later Skill Drain is activated the ATK/DEF modification on Cyber Dragon remains because it is caused by a lingering effect, right?
If later the same Slate Warrior returns to the field, is the effect it created earlier negated because it is now face-up on the field?

Ok, sorry, since it seemd to me you didnt agree I assumed you are on the "Slate Warrior is like Apprentice Magician" side, which would mean it doesnt activate on the field - so Skill Drain couldnt negate this effect.

I will be more careful next time.;)

  • Monster effects that activate after damage calculation will be negated if your Fiend-Type monster destroys the opposing Effect Monster. Examples include "D.D. Warrior Lady", "Thousand Needles", "Slate Warrior", "Ryu Kokki", and "Wall of Illusion".
"¦ is about effects that activate right after damage calculation before the monsters are sent to the graveyard.

No, its not:

"¢ If the attacking monster is destroyed, it is destroyed by "Thousand Needles"' effect, and it is sent to the Graveyard during the "send monsters to the Graveyard" portion of the Damage Step, at the same time a monster would normally be sent to the Graveyard because of damage calculation.


The ruling under Grave Protector [is] official, there's no logical reason for anybody to think otherwise,

Your quote says it is. After damage calculation the attacking monster is destroyed by Thousand Needle's effect. But is only sent to the graveyard later, when monsters normaly are sent to the grave.

No it doesn't, it is one sentence, it doesn't use any word (e.g. 'then') to suggest a timing difference.

Well, I see a come there.
destroyed by the effect and sent to the grave during...
or
destroyed by effect, and sent to the grave during...

the coma indicates a difference for me. However English isnt my native language so I'm not so sure about comas in it.

There's a lot of unneccessary commas in many text and rulings, so it is not usually somethng to consider.

But in this case, the comma its acceptable because it is a long cause:

E.g.

It is destroyed and sent to the graveyard. (no comma, because the clause is only 4 words long.)

If the attacking monster is destroyed, it is destroyed by "Thousand Needles"' effect and sent to the graveyard during it is sent to the Graveyard during the "send monsters to the Graveyard" portion of the Damage Step (a comma is there because the clauses are 7/13 and 23 words long respectively, (the first comma after destroyed probably shouldn't be there))
