@ Spectral.

Thanks for the email, it sheds light on our disagreement. The email does not contradict any of my thinking, but that would take posting a lot of info to explain. It seems this is only about whay type of Ability Drum has in this situation, but it has much larger implications that would be great for the entire community.

It's also quite funny as my first Video Tutorial will be about Triggering both on cal "Automatic" Abilities and the fact that once Activated they will resolve regardless of the Counter. And Automatic Abilities that are Activated in a Battle going into a Queue and the Owner of those Abilities choosing which order to Play them until finished.

It is gone over in their Detailed rules section, but many people do not realize the order of it, and that It is a Play Timing. In fact, through Speed Summon, etc.., a Non-Turn Player can take Priority in a Play Timing by Calling the Asmodai you mentioned. Once Speed Summon resolved, it would place Demon Lord, Asmodai's Auto Ability into Stand-by and then the Non-Turn Player would take Priority with the Turn Player being able to Counter.

My example with them was Champion and about whether I could discard The Ace or The Straight during Resolution and use their Abilities. Yes, they would go into stand-by and if you had 3 that were The Ace or Straight, they would be placed in the Queue and you would choose Which order to resolve them in Just like the Beginning of Phase effects for every Phase.

First the Turn Player chooses All Auto and the Order, to which the Non-Turn can Counter, then if the Non-Turn has any that Activated in the Beginning of Phase, they choose theirs and the order they want.

Any time during any phase, Start, Main, Attack, or Final, that Auto Abilities are Queued, they must be processed before going back to other Abilities. Many people don't know Auto Abilities MUST be Resolved first.

So, the only thing we seem to disagree on is what type of Ability Drum's is.

This has been fun and enlightening. Thank you for taking the time to post it, I was able to put it in a PDF for future use, if I need it in correspondence with Bushi for Tutorials, rulings, etc....

One time they sent me an unpublished list of every Play Timing for Every Phase that was insanely extensive as we talked about it. Gmail lost it, so I had to get it again, and now I back everything up. So I'm glad to add yours. Some of your questions to them look like mine.

Great insights. I'm sure you're a great player too. And a Translator! I wish I could.
