I'm extremely confused as to the first OCG ruling for this card. Apparently MST makes Geartown miss the timing. How does that make any sense? MST's only effect is that it destroys one S/T. It has no followup to that effect. If you can use Eradicator Areosal to trigger Pinch Hopper's effect, you should be able to use MST to trigger Geartown.

The scenario in the rulings has MST being chained to Geartown. Continuous effects do not occur until after anything before it is done. This is why you can chain Spell Cards to Imperial Order and not have them get negated. Your scenario with Pinch Hopper isn't the same scenario as there's no chain of effects.--MasterMarik (talk • contribs) 20:38, July 20, 2017 (UTC)

I see now. It's the chaining that makes all the difference. The rules have apparently changed, since that never used to be the way continuous effects worked. Ultimateyami (talk • contribs) 12:39, July 22, 2017 (UTC)

With MST as Chain Link 2, Geartown will be destroyed before its activation resolves. Continuous Effects only starts applying after that. Missign0 (talk • contribs) 18:29, July 22, 2017 (UTC)
