Hi, this is probably posted elsewhere, and I did a brief search for it, but couldn't find it and then got lazy and gave up, sorry. Anyway, here's the question: my friend has a stunned character, and I use the 10 drop death to try to KO it, to which he replies with a recovery trick to try to make it an illegal target. My argument is that at the time I used Death, his character was a legal target, and that recovering his guy does not negate my effect. His argument is obviously that since his effect goes off first it's not a legal target for Death. Thanks in advance for the help.

Sorry I took so long in responding to you; Vs System uses the chain so your friend is right. You pay the costs of Death, it goes on the chain. Priority passes to your opponent. He pays costs and puts effects on the chain (like say The Beyonder). He then passes priority back to you. If you had anything else to put on the chain (like another KO effect), you would now be able to do so. If you pass again, the chain will resolve the most recent link (think first in, last out). In this scenario, the last thing put on is The Beyonder, so that would resolve. Next Death would try to resolve, find an illegal target and be very sad in the removed from game zone.

vssystem.org is much more active than the vs system community here, mostly we're the same crew but during the last time this site died we wanted a place to post for the duration, which ended up being simpler to just move there permanently.
