inconsistency
bironist Once upon a time, a merchant was selling his prized armor. "This contraption will pierce any shield!"
"This shield prevents any contradiction!"
One laughs and asks.
"Then what happens when you poke that shield with that contraption?"
Then the merchant
"It depends on which is the turn player and in which phase the attack was declared
As a basic rule, when multiple abilities are triggered at the same time, the turn player's one is resolved first
Suppose the holder of the pike was the attacker's turn.
In contrast, the shield's Complete Defense is an ability that activates "when damage is determined," meaning that in terms of the order of stack resolution, the effect of the contradiction is processed first. As a result, the shield's Complete Defense skill is not activated, and the attack of the contradiction goes through as is. But if the holder of the shield is the turn player and some counter card or trap effect forces the opponent's contraption to attack, that's a different story!
In this case, the shield's Complete Defense is resolved first because the attack is from the inactive player. The contraption's attack will fail to meet the trigger of 'inflicting damage' and will be ineffective." and replied laconically.
He said that rulebooks sold more than shields, more than contradictions, in his store that day.
