Target

That's not how it works at all.
One of the most annoying things when it comes to dueling is having to explain '''targets.''' When an effect '''targets''', it chooses at the time of [[Activate|activation]] the specific card(s) that it will affect.
You must [[declare]] the target before players are allowed to [[chain]] to the effect. If another effect is chained to the original effect so that the target is not a legal target when [[Resolve|resolving]] the original effect, then you do not get to "''re-select''" the target. The original effect resolves without effect (that is, it does nothing).
* Example: Player A activates "[[Offerings to the Doomed]]" and targets "[[Dark Magician]]". Player B chains "[[Book of Moon]]", targeting the same "Dark Magician". "Book of Moon" resolves first, and changes "Dark Magician" to face-down [[Defense Position]]. Then, when "Offerings to the Doomed" resolves, "Dark Magician" is not destroyed - "Offerings to the Doomed" can only target face-up monsters, and "Dark Magician" is face-down, so "Offerings to the Doomed" resolves without effect. You do not get to select a new monster to destroy.
 
* Example: Player A has "[[Spirit Reaper]]" face-up in defense mode, which can only be destroyed when targeted by effects, with other monsters. Player B activates "[[Dark Hole]]", to destroy all monsters on the field. "[[Spirit Reaper]]" is unaffected because "[[Dark Hole]]" does not target "[[Spirit Reaper]]" so it would still remain on the field.
* Example: Player A attacks with "[[The Tricky]]". Player B activates "[[Draining Shield]]", which targets because it selects "The Tricky's" attack to [[negate]]. If Player A activates "[[Trap Jammer]]", then "Draining Shield" resolves without effect.
