Would Horus LV8 stop Spells in Graveyard.

[Cardinal]

Quick question.
Would having Horus LV8 on the field, stop your opponent from activating a spell card in the graveyard (Destiny Heroes).?

Please let us know.

Thanks

It's in the FAQ for Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude

"¢ Since the Spell Card itself is not activated (only its effect is), your opponent cannot chain "Magic Jammer", "Dark Deal", "Barrel Behind the Door" or any other card that has to be chained to the activation of a Spell Card.

That would include Horus LV8 and Dark Paladin's effects.

Destiny Hero- Diamond Dude doesn't activate Spell cards in the graveyard, he only "borrows and uses" the effect of the Spell card for himself. Since no Spell card is activated, Horus LV8 cannot negate the effect of the Spell card in the graveyard.

Isn't that what he said?

Let me put it in more general terms.

No, Horus LV8 and other Spell Negators cannot Negate Spell cards that activate in the Graveyard:

Ojamagic:
"¢ The effect of "Ojamagic" activates in the Graveyard, and it can be chained to. It cannot be negated by "Magic Jammer" or "Dark Balter the Terrible".

The same thing would hold true for Trap Cards and Trap Negators (Jinzo vs. Dark Coffin and such).

So "Pole Position"s second effect activates on the field?

 

[densetsu_x]

Technically Pole Position's "destroy monster" effect activates when it LEAVES the field. However, if the effect was negated due to Royal Decree/Jinzo being on the field, then that negation stays with it when it is removed from the field as well.

Basically replace "Pole Position" with "Call of the Haunted" and the mechanic is identical as for when it is removed from the field.
