1. No. Cause your monster was still in the center when you casted Black Dragon Shield. Cause counter makes your spell go before the attack. (Fact.)

2. Yes, it still hits. Discarding a soul, only keeps your monster on the field, not nullify an attack or prevent its destruction. It still gets destroyed, so damage is still dealt. (Fact.)

3. No, it doesn't say you may destroy a Size 2 or less monster on the field. It only says destroy. (Opinion.)

4. Yes, so your opponent knows you took the cards mentioned in the effects instead of some random card you want (Example: Demon Wolf, Fenrir.) (Fact.)

5. Yes, lifelink still activates. It only activates when monsters leave the field. Since it's being sent to the drop zone (and not destroyed.), it leaves the field, so you take damage from lifelink. (Fact.)

6. No, it says when this card deals damage. Since the damage became 0, your opponent took no damage. So, you don't charge. (Fact.)

7. Yes, it still activates since the link attack was declared. But Tetsuya's critcal and power is not added to the attack. Although counter means before that card was used or attacking, there are some certain conditions to be met. Dragon Breath, if you casted it on your opponent's main phase, I guess it would still work. (Fact.)

Fact means it has been asked before, and is proven. Opinion is just what I think. May be true, or not at all.
