Soul Exchange and Magic Jammer

[FelixChCh]

A quick one this...

If my opponent plays Soul Exchange, and I Magic Jammer it, does the condition that she must skip her battle phase that turn still count?

Is this similar to a non-returnable cost, or a condition on resolution of the card's effect?

If you skip the entire day without taking any Advil does your head ache go away? Probably not.

In the case of this, if Soul Exchange is negated, the condiction is also negated as that's part of the effect of Soul Exchange and what it does.

You really know how to milk a metaphor TK.

But your right, skipping the Battle Phase is part of the effect. So if Soul xchange's activation is negated, the whol effect is negated. So far payments only invlove either sending a card to the Graveyard or Removed from play area (from different locations) or Paying Life Points.

Plus if you negate the activation of a card, it can set up no conditions because it never resolved.

Why thank you, and I still am ignorant to what a metaphor is..xD

xD I just try and make things easier to understand. I find that easier if people think of the little life example I gave for them to think about rather than Game Mechcanics sometimes.

Thanks for the actual answer - I won't follow the above analogy as this would imply that the battle phase probably goes away...

Oh, well sorry, I guess I kinda worded it badly. At least the confusion was cleared up. =)
