hello,
i have an idea to use the card "a-team":

when my opponement use a trap, i chain with "Ultimate Offering" to summon "A-Team" and so offer the "a-team" to negate my opponement's trap..

but i'm not sure it is allowed:

because if i summon the "a-team" with "ultimate offering" it means the chain is resolving.. and so it seems i can not chain again with the a-team's effect (before the first chain completely resolved...)

what do you think about it?

thank you in advance

///// A-Team: Trap Disposal Unit :
[MACHINE / EFFECT]

This effect can be used during either player's turn. When your opponent activates a Trap Card, Tribute this face-up card to negate the activation of the Trap Card and destroy it.
ATK/ 300 DEF/ 300

///// Ultimate Offering :
[TRAP CARD]

At the cost of 500 Life Points per monster, a player is allowed an extra Normal Summon, Tribute Summon, or Set.


and sorry for my english: i'm french :)

First off, your dealing with Ultimate Offering which means you could only summon the a-team during your main phase or your opponents battle phase. if he/she activates a trap at any other time, too bad for you.

Second, you are correct about the summon occuring during chain resolution, so by the time a-team hits the field and you can use its effect, the trap in question has already resolved.

thanks, i was not sure
(but i'm still looking for a way to use a-team more effectively)

i'm surprised about what you say on ultimate offering:
in any case i only can use it's effect in my main phase (1 or 2) or in opponement's battle phase?
do you mean i can't use this card to summon a monster when my opponement summon a monster or use a magic card? (monster reborn for example)

Really, GKCurse?

I would think ATTDU would need to be on the field when the Trap card in question is activated.

And activating ATTDU's effect in the middle of a chain Resolving would violate a rule that only Archfiends can do, which is adding steps to an already resolving chain.

The chain would look something like:

Chain link 1: Opponent's trap
Chain Link 2: Ultimate Offering

Resolving:

Chain link 2: ATTDU is summoned and before chain Link 1' resolves, a new chain is born:

Chain Link 1: ATTDU is tributed for it's effect

And then the rest of the original chain:

Chian link 1: ATTDU negates the trap in question.


Maybe I'm wrong?
