also.
you can't select 'Blindly Loyal Goblin' (and the like) as the target to change control, and if any of the two targets is removed from the field in a chain, the effect of 'Mystic Box' Disappears.

And yet there's another card similar to Mystic Box in that it targets two different things and has a ruling that it still resolves. I suppose the phrase, "resolves as much as possible" is good enough to use. I'm just trying not to over use certain phrases when explaining my ruling or where I stand on the situation.

The card I'm talking about is Book of Life btw.

If you activate "Book of Life" and your opponent chains "Call of the Haunted" to Special Summon "Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer", you still get to Special Summon 1 Zombie with Book of Life's effect (but do not remove 1 monster from your opponent's Graveyard).

I think that Mystic Box will resolve what it can even if one of it's targets are removed from the field. This is because upon activation you must target two monsters. You've met Mystic Box's activation requirements of a monster on each side of the field. Similar to that Book of Life ruling. Just some food for thought I guess.

Yes I have and I personally add to that, "thousand errors". Any ruling that isn't official usually will have reference or mechanics behind it. Mystic Box doesn't need to have both targets on the field to resolve. It only needs one on the field upon resolution. That was the whole point of me bringing up Book of Life. Targets two cards on the field (yes the Graveyard is technically part of the field as it's a card zone) and doesn't need both cards it targetted to resolve. If both cards Book of Life happened to target go missing then the card resolves without effect.

To me the same thing would happen with Mystic Box.

If the rulings for Magic Box do eventually state this (which most likely they will), it means that it has 2 independant effects, even if the text might not suggest that. So, in otherwords one does not need the other to resolve. It is infact more similar to Magic Cylinder than Creature Swap, or Book of Life as Tkwiget suggests.

It's not about "resolve as much as possible" you should get out of that thinking...it is about dependancy, and the destruction and control switch are not dependant on each other.

(yes the Graveyard is technically part of the field as it's a card zone)

...and to make sure...no, the Graveyard is not included in the field, just like the Hand, Deck(s) and RFP.

"The field" consists of the 6 S/T Zones and the 5 Monster Zones.

*admires his work and compares it to bringing up TR and Wildheart*


So I should just continue ruling like I always have and select my opp. SSLV5 and my Ameba and summon Lava Golemn. Ok. Great arguement. I selectively paid attention and know I was right as least for now.

<edit> I feel so stupid
