Bottomless Trap Hole

Will monsters like 'Abyssal Kingshark' and 'Defender, the Magical Knight' destroyed by bottomless trap hole upon summoning? Please provide rulings explanation if possible. Thanks ya =)

Abyssal Kingshark has a continuous effect. It will not die to bottomless.


Defender, the Magical Knight's effect is a trigger effect. Bottomless will hit it before it can place the counter. Look at it like this:

Chain 2: Bottomless
Chain 1: Defender places a counter

Since chain 2 is first, Defender is destroyed.

It would be better if u provided the text for the cards you were asking about

Abyssal Kingshark

Quote :

Once per turn, if this card would be destroyed by an effect that does not target it, it is not destroyed.

For Abyssal Kingshark, it will not be destoryed as the effect is a continual effect

Defender, the Magical Knight

Quote :

When this card is Normal Summoned, place 1 Spell Counter on it (max. 1). Once per turn, if a face-up Spellcaster-Type monster(s) on the field would be destroyed, you can remove 1 Spell Counter from a card you control for each of those monsters instead.

For Defender the Magical Knight, it's effect of placing a spell counter will kick in after successful summon. Therefore if bottomless traphole is chained to it, Defender the Magical Knight will be destoryed before it will have it's spell counter

Thanks for the explanations!!
