Activation of Pacifis mid-chain
Posted: Wed Apr 04, 2018 1:45 pm
I have asked many people on different occasions this question, and I have gotten different answers, so I will ask here, as I think it probably will come up at some point, and mos probably, there will be judge calls often
In my Phantasm Spiral deck, I run a card called Sea Stealth Attack, which has the effect to activate Umi (Pacifis is treated as Umi) from the hand or graveyard on activation of this continuous trap card.
If I was to activate a Sea Stealth Attack to activate it from the GY in the middle of a chain, can I activate the effect of Pacifis to special summon a token?
Just a simple reminder that, due to Pacifis being chain link 1, the effect to special summon a token ONLY activates in a new chain, and the verification for if you have a token is made after the chain resolved (which is why you can summon a token after your opponent uses Raigeki on your token)
So, I'm wondering if the verification of "is this card on the field" also happens after that chain resolves.
