Mobius & Chain Sequence

[Wizit]

Hello

I know Mobius has been talked about a bit in these forums but I think my question is a bit different.

Here is the scenario:
Player A has three face-down Traps
- Waboku, Cemetery Bomb, Bottomless Trap Hole

Player B's turn and he Tribute Summons Mobius the Frost Monarch and elects to use his effect, thereby targetting the two face-down Traps
- Waboku & Cemetery Bomb.

Here is where I get a little lost so please tell me if the following is correct.

Player A should not activate Trap Hole at this point because he should respond to the Effect first so he chains by activating Waboku. If Player B does not respond, Player A can then chain with Cemetery Bomb. The chain then resolves with the two Traps activated.

Player A can then respond to the successful summon by activating Bottomless Trap Hole and hence start a new chain which will hopefully result in the destruction of Mobius.


Should Player A have activated Trap Hole first and started the three-Trap chain that way, is my scenario correct, or doesn't it matter?

Thanks
Wizit

Well, it does matter.

The effect of Mobius the Frost Monarch is activated when it is succesfully Tribute Summoned. The chain that includes this effect will be the chain that responds to the succesful summon.

You can see then that Bottomless Trap Hole should be activated in a chain with the effect of the monster, because the window for the correct activation is opened only there. All the 3 cards should be activated in the same chain if you want to get rid of Mobius.
