TER priority question (rather involved)

[whitefireblade]

I know TER, in fact, has priority but that doesn't mean that as a player I can't respond to it being used, can I?

For example, can I use book of moon or ring of destruction to stop TER's effect by turning it fd (I'm pretty sure this works) or destroying it (not so sure here.)

A friend of mine posted this question asking if TER has priority but that doesn't help at all (he thinks priority = unstoppability.)


Similiar question

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Blowback dragon is summoned. Player declares priority and opponent responds with ring/book. Can the turn player still activate Blowback's effect? (I'm under the impression he needs to remain on the field to do such a thing- face up as well.)


------------------------------------------------------------------------

I summon out Mobius with a tribute and the opponent responds with ring/book. I can still use Mobius' effect because it doesn't require him to remain face up, just for a sucessful normal summon. Is that right?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The third example is the third kind of monster (that I can think of.) Say my opponent brings out exiled force and uses his igniton effect tributing him. I can't use ring/book since exiled is already dead and I'm chaining to the destroy a monster effect, nothing else right?

Which is why Tribe can't be stopped by turning him fd (card id discarded already) and cards required to pay lifepoints can't be stopped as well. Is that correct?



I just want to clear up this whole priority thing. Sorry if this takes awhile to answer.

That is an interesting point about Blowback Dragon. According to the rulings the coin flip takes place after activation. I have always gleaned from that ruling that the effect needed to be face-up on the field to resolve properly. But I can see where I may have been in error. Still I think it's odd to get a coin flip for a face-down or destroyed monster.

It's the player that flips the coins--not the monster.

Or look at this way: the 3 guns are fired at activation, and the coin flips are to determine whether or not they hit the target (resolution).

(Do we really HAVE to flip 3 coins, the odds are 50% to get 2 or more heads, the same as getting heads from flipping one coin?)
