Rulings test

[John Danker]

I give credit to tyloki who posted this test on another site for the couple of questions I'm posting. They certainly provoke thought.....

1. Dark Ruler Ha Des attacks a Reflect Bounder equipped with Heavy Mech Support Platform.

1.1 Does Reflect Bounder inflict the 2450?

1.2 Is Reflect Bounder destroyed? If yes, is it:

A: destroyed as a result of battle?
B: destroyed by its effect?


2. Player B has a face-down Cyber Jar.
Player A summons Tribe-Infecting Virus, and uses priority to use the effect. He declares Fairy (to kill his own Shining Angel).
Player B chains Desert Sunlight (to flip the face-down jar face-up)

Link 1: Tribe-Infecting Virus
Link 2: Desert Sunlight

Show how the chain would resolve, and tell what order the effects would happen

Wow. Talk about convoluting a simple situation. When Cyber Jar is destroyed by battle then when it's own effect or an outside effect like Divine Wrath seeks to destroy it again then that effect simply vanishes. But since the destruction from say Divine Wrath doesn't just invlove destruction but also negation then the remainde if the effect resolves.

But no where is destruction occuring twice.
