Anko and Dehydration

[sortofjosh]

Was confused about two rulings I saw and wanted to get a clarification:

Curiously, both examples use anko and dehydration, yet the rulings seem to contradict each other.

To clarify, my question is: can a counter mission such as dehydration be used to prevent a ninjas put in play effect, such as anko's?

The first thread asks about chaining to a Ninja's put in play effect. That means, the Ninja has entered play, which has triggered the Ninja's effect. Since the Ninja is in play, you can target that Ninja with m668.

The second thread asks about chaining m668 to a Ninja being DEPLOYED. That means you are putting an effect on the chain before that Ninja enters play. Since that Ninja is not in play, you cannot target that Ninja.

Basically, there is a difference between chaining to a Ninja's deployment and chaining to a Ninja's put in play effect. They are not the same.

To answer your question: Yes, it is possible to use Counter Missions such as m668 to negate a Ninja's put in play effect. You just have to play the Mission at the correct moment.

Thank you, that definitely clears things up.
