Exactly.drzero7 said:i.c. that also means that while I stolen a Machine monster with Snatch Steal, I cannot summon Cyber Phoenix in attack position as well right?
It does not matter if "Cyber Phoenix" is on the field before or after "Call of the Haunted" or "Premature Burial" is activated and resolved. The Continuous Effect of "Cyber Phoenix" will negate the effects of both cards.drzero7 said:If I already have Cyber Phoenix on my field. THEN I activate Premature/CotH, I summon a machine monster and THEN the 2nd effect is negated.
But if I already have Premature/CotH activated with the targetted machine monster, and THEN summon Cyber Phoenix, Cyber Phoenix doesn't negate Premature/CotH 2nd effect.
Am I right... I'm so lost. So just tell me straight what's going on.
But how is it causing an infinite loop? Once the opponent makes the selection of a Machine Monster, Cyber Phoenix negates the effect of Snatch Steal. There isnt another attempt over and over because the target doesnt change, so he should only need to negate it that one time. What would make Premature Burial and Snatch Steal any different? They are both targeting a Machine Monster on the field?skey23 said:If you'll read Cropz' 2nd post, he clarifies his answer, AND says the same thing I did.
As for the "Snatch Steal" question, you would NOT be able to target a Machine-Type monster with "Snatch Steal" while "Cyber Phoenix" is in face-up Attack Position. Doing so would cause an infinite loop because the targeted monster would continuously switch back and forth between both sides of the field.
Hope this helps!

if 'Cyber Phoenix' is face-up on the field and 'Premature Burial' is activated, once it resolves it'll attempt to equip the monster and 'Cyber Phoenix' will negate the card's whole effect (and thus, the second effect will never be applied).
if 'Premature Burial' is activated and 'Cyber Phoenix' is later summoned, then it won't do anything to 'Premature Burial'.
EmeraldDragon said:Maybe it got misread and they thought it said monster on YOUR side of the field. If it had said that then it would cause an infinite loop.
The only person who couldn't activate Snatch Steal on a Machine Monster is the controller of Cyber Phoenix.anthonyj said:While this card is in face-up Attack Position on your side of the field, negate the effects of any Spell or Trap Card that targets 1 Machine-Type monster on your side of the field. When this face-up card on the field attacks or is attacked, and it is destroyed as a result of battle and sent to the Graveyard, you can draw 1 card from your Deck.
Doesn't seem misread.
I have Cyber Phoenix in attack position on my side of the field.
I activate Snatch Steal targeting your Jinzo. When Snatch Steal resolves Jinzo would be equipped and move to my side of the field, but now Cyber Phoenix would negate Snatch Steal and thus return Jinzo to you, which would mean Jinzo was no longer on my side of the field so Snatch Steal would stop being negated and Jinzo would return to my side, Cyber Phoenix kicks in and negates snatch steal...
Any more questions?
That makes absolutely no sense to me, whatsoever. "Cyber Phoenix" states to negate the EFFECTS (plural) of a Spell or Trap Card that targets 1 Machine-Type Monster on my side of the field.Cropz said:It does matter.

It doesn't say negate the targeting effects, it says to negate the effects (meaning all of them) of a Spell/Trap that targets.
I'm likening this to "Blade Knight"s effect of negating Flip Effect Monsters effects (plural), even the effects that aren't part of the Flip Effect ("Slate Warrior").
Are you saying that "Premature Burial" and "Call of the Haunted" do not target the monster they are equipped to once they have resolved?
Cropz, please explain.
It works like Jinzo but specificly for targeted effects only.skey23 said:That makes absolutely no sense to me, whatsoever. "Cyber Phoenix" states to negate the EFFECTS (plural) of a Spell or Trap Card that targets 1 Machine-Type Monster on my side of the field.
