There is not priority for blackrose

There's no Priority thing with Optional-Trigger effects Like "Black rose, Mobius etc." not sure of the name :/ But if you choose to activate it, it must resolve unless your opponent negate it

what does this mean, until now i still dun understand ><

if i summon BRD, and there is no priority to activate his effect, then why the opponent cannot activate Bottomless so BRD will miss the timing ?

There is priority in these optional trigger effect. When BRD is summoned, you can retain your priority and activate it's effect. If you pass the priority to your opponent and he activates a card effect, the last thing that happened before you try to activate BRD's effect is your opponent's card activating, NOT BRD's summon. This will cause BRD to lose the timing. The way to avoid this happening is just retaining priority for BRD's effect. Whoever told you that must have been confused with other Optional Trigger effects, like Poison Draw Frog. They are a different thing though. They have the same rule with BRD though. For their effects to activate, they require the last thing that happened to be them being sent to the graveyard. If you use them for a synchro summon, the last thing that happened will be a synchro being summoned, not them being sent to the grave, and that will cause them to lose the timing.

And remember. Optional Trigger effects can only lose the timing for the activation, once they are activated they must resolve. That's why BRD will resolve normally.

Maybe I explained it in a too confusing way

I may be wrong in what I say, but that's what I know about Optional Trigger effects.

That is accurate, Stef, to the extent of my knowledge. Understand, Yuri? If so, topic locked upon confirmation

Priority does not refer to the effect of a card. Priority refers to the right of the player. There is no priority with optional trigger effects but you as a player have priority to activate an optional trigger effect as Chain Link 1. When Black Rose Dragon is Synchro Summoned you as the turn player do have priority to activate its effect immediately.

To say that Priority refers to a monster effect is wrong, it refers only to the turn player and is defined as: "the turn players right to activate the effect of a Spell/Trap or Monster Effect as chain link 1".

When you choose to activate a monster effect like Black Rose Dragon, and your opponent responds with a card, even though the effect is optional, since it has been activated, it must resolve.

Hope this helps

Det is the deciding word, Stef and Det are correct. Topic locked
