I have been playing Macro heavily for about 3 months now and have a quick question.
Please tell me if this scenario would go through.

Player 1 (me) Has Macro Active, and 3 face downs, 1 of them being another Macro, Torrential, and a Bluff. I also have 2 DD Survivors in defense.

Player 2 Special Summons DAD, and Removes 3 to destroy my face up Macro, my Bluff and Torrential. He then proceeds to activate RftDD, Bringing out 4 monsters one of them being Zerato.
At that point I activate Macro, and he discards a Dark Monster for Zeratos effect.

Now the question of course is, does he get Zerato's effect? If Macro is active I thought that any card with an effect that discards to the Grave you wouldn't be able to activate .

Just need to know for future reference. Thanks.

I do believe you are correct, as D.D. Crow also says send to graveyard.

He would be incorrect. Either it's :

A.Part of the effect (this is not the case) in which case it doesn't matter whether it is sent to the grave or RFG

B. A cost to activate the effect. Costs are paid prior to the window of opportunity to chain, so the card would already be in the graveyard before your new macro resolves.

The better question was why you didn't torrential the DAD ?

lol i would have to agree with blue why didnt you torrential dad lol commen sense

Because I knew that a RftDD or a D Fusion were to follow. &t least I would still have my Survivors out. That's why I didn't activate Torrential.

I activated Macro to the response of RfTDD. I asked him what his Targets were, and since one of them was Zerato I quickly chained Macro.
Since Macro was 2nd on the chain it would resolve first before the Monsters hit the field right?

Well since Torrential was my only real defense if I would of activated it when DAD hit the field it would of wiped out my Survivors. He in turn would of activated RftDD with an open field.
So I took my chances that he wouldn't select my face down Torrential. If he would of missed it, I would have still been in the game.
But I took a chance and it didn't pay off.

He said he activated Macro in response to RftDD, so it would have resolved by then.

Either way, you were in a bad situation regardless unless that bluff was actually a solemn.

I got that from his reply, if its activated in response to return, then you would be correct, the cost for zerato can not be paid.

On the torrential issue, either way, you only lose two cards as opposed to three AND get rid of a 2800 attack beatstick by playing torrential. If he declared torrential as his first target, you'd even only lose one card as opposed to three. Either way you would still have had your macro, and he'd have lost a DAD.
