Deployment timing

[Torrne]

If an opponent (or I, for that matter) responds to the deployment of a ninja, that ninja is not considered to be in play yet, correct?

Example: I deploy Anko Mitarashi () and my opponent responds by playing Dehydration (). Can he/she target my Anko with that Dehydration, or is it not considered in play yet?


If that's the case, then this should be a legal move also:

Example 2: I deploy Anko Mitarashi () and I chain Tobi's () effect to the deployment. I successfully guess the top card, move it and one other card to my chakra, then the chain resolves and Anko finishes coming into play. Now, I can activate her effect by paying the necessary chakra (for either effect).

m668 cannot target Anko because she is not in play yet.

This is a legal play.
