does he get his effect if he is torrential'd?

because for TT to be able to activate, MC has to have been successfully summoned....

so if he's summoned, then TT'd, i can still special summon a monster onto the field after TT has resolved?


OR this a priority thing... where you have to state you are going to activate his effect or not when he is summoned...

so TT will catch either him or both him and the special summon?


anyhow, thanks in advance

-buddy looked it up on UDE... thanks anyway!-

When you Summon Marauding Captain, your opponent can respond to the Summon with Torrential Tribute.

Torrential Tribute -> Marauding Captain

Link 2: Torrential Tribute destroys all monsters that are currently on the field.
Link 1: Marauding Captain's effect resolves allowing you to Special Summon a level 4 or lower monster from your hand.

if they play marauding captain, why not wait until the special summon to respond with tt? :p

Wait a minute, doesn't Marauding Captain player have priority to activate his summoning effect before his opponent can respond?

Yes, the turn player does have priority. What exactly is confusing you about this? I can answer better with more information.

Okay I was just making sure. The way you worded it: When you Summon Marauding Captain, your opponent can respond to the Summon with Torrential Tribute.
Makes it sound like they can respond to Marauding's effect.

Yeah, they can respond to Marauding Captain's effect with Torrential Tribute. Anytime a player Summons a monster and immediately activates an appropriate effect (using his/her priority), the still can use an effect in response.

All they would be doing is repsonding to the summon of Captain(if the used TT when he was summoned). If they decide to summon a monster for Captain, then the monster would hit the field AFTER TT resolves. To help make it easier, lets look at it in a chain form.

Chain Link 1: Captain is summoned, and decided to use effect

Chain Link 2: Opponent respons to Captain's summoning with TT.

Resolves backwards

Chain Link 2: TT kills all monsters on the field.

Chain Link 1: Captain's effect resolves normally, and summons a monster to the field.

Priority with Captain does not make it to where his effect resolves first, it just makes it the first link of a chain.

*The situation I presented in my Chain Links are not actually Chain Links, as you can not chain to the summoning of a monster, only to card effect. You can respond to the summoning of a monster though*

Here is what the Netrep files have to say about this.

If "Marauding Captain" is destroyed in a Chain with the Activation of its Special Summoning effect, the monster to be Special Summoned by the effect of "Marauding Captain" will be Special Summoned after the effect destroying "Marauding Captain"
resolves.

This is the Offical Ruling from www.Yugioh-card.com

If your opponent activates "Torrential Tribute" in response to the Summoning of "Maurading Captain" (by chaining to the Trigger Effect of "Marauding Captain"), all monsters on the field will be destroyed, and then you Special Summon for "Maurading Captain"'s effect. If they wait and activate "Torrential Tribute" in response to the Special Summoning of a monster for the effect of "Marauding Captain", then all monsters will be destroyed including the newly-Special Summoned monster.

venomlord, actually what you presented as chain links, were inface chain links

after cap'n is summoned, the turn player has priority to respond to the summon first. and does so by activating cap'n's effect, since it is an effect, its a link in a chain, so

link 1) cap'n's effect

since its still the chain in response to a summon, the opponent can chain TT to the effect, so

link 2) TT

resolves backwards as stated

link2) TT destroys all monsters

link 1) cap'ns effect allows the turn player to special summon a monster.

while you can't chain to a summon, only respond, you respond with effects, and those effects form a chain.
