"Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude" vs. "The End of Anubis"

[Kyhotae]

I have gotten into this wonderful discussion with Simon on another forum and I thought I would bring the fun here.

The question is whether "The End of Anubis" would negate the effect of the Normal Spell Card sent to the Graveyard by "Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude".

After reading through the rulings and noticing that they were very specific about saying that the effect activates and not the Spell Card, it was asserted that "The End of Anubis" had no power over it because it only negates effects of Spell Cards that activate in the Graveyard. Since there's not Spell Card being activated by "Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude"s effect, then "The End of Anubis" can't negate it.

The other assertion was simply that it's a Spell Card effect and it's activating in the Graveyard, so "The End of Anubis" will negate it.

So, there you have it. Let us know how you feel.

Well, it's slightly different if you repeat something from from over 100 posts compared to about 6, but still... old age and losing one's mind and all (so you mentioned Ojamagic too? Really....)

People like to argue, but for the time being assume that The End of Anubis DOES negate Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude's effect.

The reason is that the effect of the Spell Card activates in the Graveyard, and The End of Anubis negates card effects that activate in the Graveyard.
