I'm not 100% sure what will happen.

Say the only cards on the field are my Divine Wrath and my opponent's Sangan.

I opponent tributes Sangan to summon Raiza the Storm Monarch. What happens next? Does Sangan's effect activate and resolve before Raiza's effect, vise-versa, or do they chain together.

My aim is to negate Sangan's effect with Divine Wrath.

Thanks,

I believe your opponent gets to pick which effect goes first ... the other in some untouchable limbo. In essense, he can protect the Sangan by going Raiza first.

I don't believe you can Wrath sangan. Sangan is a graveyard effect. Wrath stop effects that happen on the field.

I may be wrong.

thats what i thought

Of course "Divine Wrath" can stop the effect of "Sangan", just not in this situation. =P

The chain that is usually built is
Chain Link 1: "Sangan"
Chain Link 2: "Raiza the Wind Monarch"
Chain Link 3: "Divine Wrath"

If it were "Summoned Skull" instead of "Raiza the Wind Monarch", then you could directly chain "Divine Wrath" to the effect of "Sangan".


Make sure you take some time to read the UDE Yu-Gi-Oh! specific card rulings next time.

So, in the end I'd end up negating Raiza. Fair enough.

It really depends on how the chain is built, it is possible to negate Sangan if they place Raiza on the chain first.

It's up to the controller of both effects.

why would u want to negate sangan instead of raiza when the only card on your field is divine wrath? i would rather stop raiza who would likely pop the divine wrath to the top of my deck and attack me directly. it would make more since in trying to take the 2400 out the picture than to stop a 1500 or less monster from getting to ur appoinents hand. of course if u had dd crow(nice lil birdy lol) in your hand then u can send sagan out of play before it gets its effect( i think u could do that but i could be wrong)

Does it really matter why? whatever the reason it has nothing to do with it.

And D.D. Crow won't stop Sangan's effect either.

Besides, if I activate Divine Wrath, wouldn't that prevent Raiza from sending it to the top of deck anyways?

Yes. Raiza can only send a Continuous Effect to the Top of your Deck, so any card that is activated in a chain to his effect, like a Quick Play or Normal/Counter Trap Card would go to the Graveyard.

What fun you can have with a Graved Sangan and Call of the Haunted.... lol

Oh you of little knowledge. If you negate the opponent's Sangan before Raiza has to resolve, then the only available target for them to bounce is their own Raiza. You have successfully owned their search AND their bounce in 1 negate.

Oh you of little knowledge, the effect of Raiza is targetting and is selected at the activation of the effect.

Exactly.

Now if your opponent chose to resolve Sangan first, Raiza is on a different stack, no target declared ... nothing. And then Sangan's search goes through (or is duly negated) and voila! Hes left standing alone on the field ...

Raiza must declare a target before its effect can be considered a part of the chain, what made you think you wouldn't declare one?

You either choose Raiza, Sangan, or the face down card.
