evilfusion Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 [quote name='slayer_supreme' timestamp='1290550493' post='4805758'] I'm guessing it would be possible to chain your Virus to the Summon of your Malefic, thus making its destruction effect pointless (since you're Tributing it anyways). [/quote] No, it's not possible. The destruction effect is continuous, and is always applied. If you lack an active Skill Drain or a Field Spell, the moment the Malefic touches the field, it is destroyed. This does not start a chain because it is continuous. Giant Kozaky would be Set, where it is still valid Tribute fodder for the Viruses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeppeli Gyro Supreme Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Sure, it doesn't start a chain. But you wouldn't be chaining to the effect, you would be chaining to its Summon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 The effect is Continuous. It applies [u]continuously[/u]. The very instant it touches the field while lacking the conditions for its survival, it is destroyed. Since this does not start a chain, you cannot activate anything between "Monster is Summoned" and "Malefic self-destructs". Sure, you can chain to its Summon (Torrential will still destroy all other monsters on the field). But it's already destroyed, so you're lacking the cost for the Virus.
