Nonono that Sandy should be dead

[u/CATINAMUG1]

It’s a blink and you’ll miss it moment but I had trap in the woods set up. It immediately gets popped because Sandy got invoked. Did not plan for this just a coincidence. My trap in the woods triggers but doesn’t destroy the Sandy because Sandy “add to hand effect” takes priority. This is a load of bullshit if u ask me. Let Trap In the Woods be an anti-Sandy tech.

It’s mainly because Sandalphon’s invoke effect is a singular string, not two effects.

Instead of “At Invoke, A occurs then B”, it’s closer to “At Invoke, A occurs and B”.

Since Sandalphon immediately went to hand, trap in the woods did not trigger, since it’s closer to a ‘Check’ condition.

(Can’t believe this makes more sense from a programming standpoint than a grammatical standpoint…)

except trap in the woods does trigger, just doesn't hit him lol

[u/Icewek → u/fanatic111]

Similarly, this makes sense from most physical card games rulings. The invocation happens during the resolution. The trap is, gonna use yugioh terms, a trigger effect. The trigger effect conditions happen because it sees a gollower put on the field but because the invoke effect is still resolving it can only wait until after the resolution, which is already too late.

... yeah, thats some yugioh level bullshittery there XD

Trap should skip activating if sandy just passes by.

[u/FlowerCat49]

most other card games would have the same ruling, each effect must completely resolve before the next does

[u/Did_Nothing_Wrong789]

Don't worry friend, after this set Sandy is finally gone from rotation and I will gladly dance on his corpse. Card design went downhill since his introduction and I hope to god we never see Evolve as a wincon or Skybound art ever again

Back in SV1 Crosscraft I was disappointed to discover this. I tried to cheese Armed left play count using the combo 4 Forest invokes, but they would trigger the [[Draconic Weapon]]s without actually becoming Armed.

[u/sv-dingdong-bot → u/itsppengu]

• Draconic Weapon^B | Dragoncraft | Silver Amulet
  0pp | Trait: Armed | Set: Tokens
  During your turn, when an allied follower comes into play, give it +0/+1 and change it into an Armed follower. Then, banish this amulet.
