"
Jinzo" - "As long as this card remains face-up on the field, Trap Cards cannot be activated. The effects of all face-up Trap Cards are negated." Again, we see the
face-up restriction; however, there is no mention of them having to be on the field. Face-up to me implies it must be face up at resolution, or already face-up to be negated by "
Jinzo". So the "
Waboku" example John gave earlier surprises me to be correct.[End QUOTE]
Let me see if I can explain this in different terms. I realize it's a difficult pill to swallow.
If I activate
Dark Hole and you chain
Mystical Space Typhoon targeting
Dark Hole we know that
Dark Hole's effect still resolves right? Why? Because the effect of
Dark Hole has left the card
Dark Hole an empty shell. The card itself no longer has meaning.
Dark Hole's effect floats on the field waiting to resolve. The same held true in my example of
Waboku and
Jinzo.
The wording on
Jinzo is poor no doubt. It should be redone and worded more like
Imperial Order making this discussion unnecessary. I'm afraid as often times is the case, we're at the mercy of Konami for card wording and stuck making rulings that aren't clearly defined on the card.
