The Yu-Gi-Oh! Thread

Also, I’m not sure whether it’s more hilarious or depressing that doing a simple rank up, (in this case, Rise Falcon to Blaze Falcon) is considered to be some kind of high-tier mechanic that only the very best can do well,

So it’s like the ener-d reactor from 5D’s, but for each respective universe and mechanic?

You can use “Call of the Haunted” to Special Summon “Jinzo” from your Graveyard. After “Jinzo” is Special Summoned, the effect of “Call of the Haunted” is negated and “Call of the Haunted” remains on the field meaninglessly. However, if “Call of the Haunted” is destroyed (by “Mystical Space Typhoon”, etc.) “Jinzo” will not be destroyed because “Call of the Haunted”’s effect is being negated by “Jinzo”.

If you chain “Call of the Haunted” to the activation of another Trap Card, such as “Trap Hole”, then “Call of the Haunted” will resolve first. If you Special Summon “Jinzo” with “Call of the Haunted” in a chain like this, then “Jinzo” will negate the effect of the Trap Card you chained to (“Trap Hole”, in this example).

Just to add on to that, once Jinzo has been successfully summoned by CotH, its trap negation effect will immediately kick in negating CotH.
CotH will remain face up on the field, still targeting Jinzo, but if CotH is destroyed, Jinzo will negate the effect of CotH to destroy Jinzo and Jinzo will remain face up on the field.
If Jinzo is destroyed, then the CotH that was targeting that Jinzo would be destroyed by CotH’s effect because Jinzo is no longer negating it.
If Jinzo is negated by Effect Veiler, then CotH is no longer negated during that turn and if one of those cards is destroyed that turn, then the other would be destroyed by CotH’s effect.
Finally, if Jinzo is flipped face down by Book of Moon, then the CotH would lose its face up target and if face down Jinzo would be destroyed, CotH would not be destroyed because it’s not targeting Jinzo anymore and, in addition, if Jinzo would be flipped face up again, CotH would not regain its target, so if one of those cards is destroyed, the other would not be destroyed by CotH’s effect under any circumstances.
