if you summon jinzo can your opponet activate torential tribute???


need to know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

To no effect. Once Jinzo hits the field, Trap hole, TT, BTH, etc are cancelled. In their text it states that when a monster is summoned, you can activate them. Only three traps I know of can stop Jinzo from being summoned. Solemn Judgment, Horn of Heaven, and Forced back, because they all negate the actual act of summoning.

no, for the same reason you cannot use trap hole on jinzo.

TT, trap hole, etc. are all used in response to a successful summon. so by the time you could activate them jinzo is already on the field preventing you from activating any traps.

*sigh* Asked so much...

Jinzo is a Continuous Effect.

Continuous Effects are applied (not "activated") IMMEDIATELY upon being face-up on the field.

This means, by the time you could normally activate Trap Hole, Bottomless Trap Hole, Torrential Tribute, etc, Jinzo is already being applied thus negating face-up Traps AND preventing Trap Cards from being activated.

The ONLY way to prevent this is to negate Jinzo's summoning entirely by the use of Horn of Heaven, Solemn Judgment or Forced Back.

what about a card like, "Divine Wrath"?

From the way I am reading the text, it looks like this would destroy a monster like Jinzo. Am I right?

No, Jinzo's effect just happens, Divine Wrath can ONLY be activated against an effect that you could activate. Check UDE's Site to get a list of things divine wrath is Capable of doing.

• You can activate the effect of "Divine Wrath" to a Flip Effect, Ignition Effect, Trigger Effect, or Multi-Trigger Effect. But not to a Continuous Effect. This is because Continuous Effects cannot be chained to.

Jinzo's effect is continuous. "Aslong as this card remains faceup..."

oh ok. that does make sense. heh, I like this forum, quick responses to questions! :cool:

That's why it helps to read the entire thread first before posting...
