Forum:Great Shogun Shien vrs. Face up cards

From Yugipedia

my opponent has ancient city rainbow ruins face up on the field and four crystal beast in his spell and trap card zone, and i then special summon great shogun shien, and i end my turn. my opponent draws and then activates the 4th ability of ancient city and draws a card, then can he activate another card, because using the ability of a face up card is not the same as activating one?

also if i have stardust on the field and my opponent activates crystal abundance can stardust negate it??

  • Shogun, while being a great card, cannot stop another card from being activated due to the fact that Ancient City was already activated and continues to stay active while face-up on the field.

Also, while being another great card, Stardust cannot negate Crystal Abundance due to the fact that Abundance sends cards to the Graveyard without destroying them. I hope this helps. 199.36.15.6 16:13, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

A little clarity, your opponent activates Rainbow Ruins' effect, not the card itself. Messengerofthedark 18:12, 13 July 2009 (UTC)Messengerofthedark

haha thanks I was like 95 percent sure that, that was the case, but it would have been nice if there was some nifty little thing i didnt know about that would help me out in those situations.
