Target
,That's not how it works at all.
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 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.
