Deck Devastation Virus VS Tokens

Does the effect of Deck Devastation Virus check the opponent's field continuously? And are tokens affected by its effect? And can I tribute a monster with a basic atk less than 2000, but equipped with Mage Power?

During a duel, I have 2 Vampire Lord on my side of the field, I tribute one of them for Deck Devastation Virus, then I use Book of Life on that Vampire Lord. My opponents has no monsters, so I'm attacking directly, but he activates Scapegoat: what happens to the tokens?

I'ts very important, because we decided to not destroy tokens, so my opponent activated Enemy Controller during his turn: tributing a Sheep Token, he took control of one Vampire Lord and destroyed both attacking the other Vampire Lord!

Another little question: what happens if I send Silent Swordsman LV3 to the graveyard during my end phase to summon Silent Swordsman LV5, my opponent activates Bottmless Trap Hole and I chain Interdimensional Matter Transporter?

Well for the first bit:
From the card's rulings:
You only check the cards on the field and in the hand when "Deck Devastation Virus" is resolved. Only cards drawn are checked until the end of the third End Phase.

And yes you may tribute a monster with a basic attack less than 2000, as long as it's current attack is 2000 or more.


The ScapegoatTokens would be fine as DDV was already activated and resolved so it no longer has any impact on the field.

Bottomless Trap Hole would no longer have a legal monster on the field to remove and so it's effect would disappear.
It's a similar situation to:
If the opponent Summons a monster, then you activate "Bottomless Trap Hole", and the opponent chains "Book of Moon" to flip the Summoned monster face-down, it is not removed from play by the effect of "Bottomless Trap Hole".

It sounds as if both players let DDV resolve before the Scapegoat was even activated, if that's the case than the Sheep Tokens would be fine. Now if he had chained Scapegoat to the activation of DDV then the tokens would have been summoned first and would have bit the bullet.

But if I remove a monster from the field with Intedimensional Matter Transporter during the end phase, will it return on the field during the same end phase?

You dont send SS lv3 to activate his effect on the end phase but on the next standby phase(yours) just though i would clear that up.And to your question yes it will return the same end phase.

Oooooooops! I did a bad example, I was thinking to Horus!

And so, if I send Horus LV6 to the graveyard to summon Horus LV8, my opponent activates Bottomless Trap Hole, and finalli I chain Interdimensional Matter Transporter, Horus LV8 i removed from play, then returns immediately, and so? Are you sure that Bottmless Trap Hole won't remove Horus LV8 again?

What do you mean by "then returns immediately"? IMT takes him out until the end phase of the turn. Bottomless Trap Hole would resolve and take nothing because there's no monster that has been special summoned for it to take out (at least, not one it can see -- it can't see the one that's out of play).

Oh I see, you mean since it's end phase right now having done the effect. I wouldn't suspect any difference. IMT takes him out, the chain resolves, and then the lingering effect of IMT brings him back.

Exactly, he won't come back until after the chain has resolved, at which point BTH is no longer on the field to affect him.
