Correct chaining with Mutiple traps.

[KASR]

Just a quick question on chaining multiple traps. Actually, it's more of a question on the correct sequence.
While playing in the Waco Regionals, an opponent attacked my monster - I chained with Ceasefire and then chained with Sakeretsu Armor. Bishop was judging and didn't say anything - but it made me wonder if the correct chain should have went the other way around: activate Sak Armor and then chain Ceasefire to it.

What do you think?

Both options are legal and since it was a regional event I'm glad Bishop didn't say anything. The way you played it Armor would resolve and destroy the card (I presume targeting the attacking monster). Then Ceasefire would resolve and flip face down monsters face up and deal damage for the effect monsters.

If your opponent's attacking monster was an effect monster you could have gotten additional damage from ceasefire for it. If it was a normal monster then it doesn't change anything in the way the traps resolve.

It doesn't matter in which order you chain it, although sometimes the outcome will be different...

In the case you mentioned, if an effect monster attacks, this happens:

CL1: Ceasefire
CL2: Sakeretsu Armor

Resolve:
CL2: Destroy attacking monster
CL1: Flip monsters face-up, number face-up effect monster on both field x 500 damage

If the attacking monster was an effect monster, your opponent got 500 less damage than if you'd chain it the other way...
