Great Dezard questions

If Great Dezard is Special Summoned by Premature Burial or Call of the Haunted, and then later destroys 1 monster, the 'attached' Premature Burial or Call of the Haunted will be negated, right? Then what?

In the case of Premature Burial, is this similar to the ruling with Freed the Matchless General...
You can activate "Premature Burial" to Special Summon this card from the Graveyard, and then this card's effect will negate and destroy "Premature Burial". "Freed the Matchless General" will not be destroyed since the effect of "Premature Burial" was negated by his effect.

And then what about Call of the Haunted? Would this be like Special Summoning Jinzo with Call and then Call remains there meaninglessly and Jinzo stays?

Thanks, guys.

Whoever said Call is targeting?

You debunked my theory on the basis that Call, being a continuous trap, has a continuous effect. All I'm doing is pointing out a continuous trap that does NOT have a continuous effect, and that spends the bulk of its time doing nothing.

Whether Call of the Haunted is a Konami "Ghost Ruling" or can actually be explained, it targets a monster from the Graveyard, continues to target it as long as it remains face-up on the field, and will destroy that selected monster if it is face-up, when

Call of the Haunted is destroyed
Call of the Haunted is removed or sent
Call of the Haunted is returned to hand

In the case of the selected monster being destroyed instead, Call of the Haunted will no longer be targeting the monster it selected, and by its own effect, would then destroy itself.

But it's important to not start applying BKSSs to things that are just being overthought. Call of the Haunted is one of the older cards and the question of whether it was a targeting effect has never been brought up until recently. The reason for this is because we are overanalysing certain card text in an effor t to undersatand the game better. But you have to understand that you cannot always apply the logic of the day against the card text of older cards as the logic if today was only just written.

The only thing that leads people to belive that Call is not continuously targeting is the focus on the "when" of the last two sentances. But honestly, how else would you be able to phrase that? Are we saying that these are triggered effects? It's not a BKSS unless it truley undermines what already been established. This fits right in with what has always been. Let's not create more inconsistancy where there was currently none.

Not only did you make two typos in one sentence, you also blew your own statements that you side with God. *poke* :D

Quick Question: When the monster Call is "equipped to" (and I know Call doesn't equip, but since the idea that it targets is still being debated, I wanted a different term) is destroyed, and Call itself tries to explode, can that be chained to? Because that might just be the deciding factor. If the destruction is a continuous effect, then I can buy that Call continuously targets. Although I STILL say, then, that Call should be errataed. Nothing on the card says it continuously targets.

Except for maybe that pesky little infinity icon in the corner of the card.

Call of the Haunted does not create a chain when it destroys itself due to the Targeted Monster being destroyed.
