Once both players have completed adding links to the chain, the chain will resolve in the reverse order starting with the highest link in the chain and resolving backwards to Chain Link 1. Any card that is not removed from the field by the effect of another card in the chain will remain on the field until the entire chain has resolved. There are other considerations to make when resolving the chain as follows:Continuous Effect – A card with a Continuous effect must remain face-up on the field to resolve. If this card is removed from the field or flipped face-down by another card effect in the chain, this card will no longer be able to resolve. Cost Effect – When a card offers itself as a cost for activation, its effect will still resolve in the chain even if another card effect in the chain would negate this card’s effect. Trigger, Multi-Trigger, Flip Effect – Any one of these card effects will still resolve in the chain even if they are removed from the field or flipped face-down by another card effect in the chain. However, because these cards remain face-up on the field when they are activated, their effect can be negated by another card effect in the chain. Targeting Effect – When a targeting effect is activated, the target must be declared at the time of activation. If the target no longer exists when this card resolves, this card will resolve with no effect (the controller may not select a new target). Equip Spell Cards – An Equip Spell Card is not considered to be equipped until the entire chain resolves. If another card effect in the chain removes this card from the field, this card would not be considered equipped to a monster at the time this card is removed from the field. During the resolution of the chain, additional card effects may be triggered due to a condition placed upon them. For example, a card may have an effect that activates once it is placed in the Graveyard. When this occurs, that card’s effect will begin a new chain as Chain Link 1 only after the current chain has resolved. If multiple effects are triggered during the resolution of the current chain, each effect will be placed on the new chain according to the rules of priority. |
