I need to get this clarified.

Player A controls a face-down [[Metal Reflect Slime]] and a face-up [[Imperial Custom]]. Player B control a face-up [[Legendary Six Samurai - Shi En]].

Player A activates face-down Metal Reflect Slime. 

Player B activate Legendary Six Samurai - Shi En to negate the activation of Metal Reflect Slime.

What happens and why?

Thanks.

:Going off the UDE rulings of "[[Light and Darkness Dragon]]" (which are still valid since they have yet to be contradicted/overruled): "When “Light and Darkness Dragon” negates the activation of a Continuous Spell or Trap Card, the Continuous Spell or Trap Card is sent to the Graveyard." So, I would conclude that although "Shi En" does not destroy "Metal Reflect Slime", the activation was negated, so "Metal Reflect Slime" will be sent to the Graveyard when it would resolve (or banished, if "[[Macro Cosmos]]" or some other similar card is on the field). --[[User:UltimateKuriboh|UltimateKuriboh]] ([[User talk:UltimateKuriboh|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/UltimateKuriboh|contribs]]) 04:06, February 1, 2013 (UTC)

::Wouldn't the activation of Metal Reflect Slime put it in limbo, when Shi En would negate it, so it's never "on the field" as required by Imperial Custom's effect? --[[User:S1L3N7_N1GH7S|S1L3N7_N1GH7S]] 17:51, February 1, 2013 (UTC)

:::Nah, "Metal Reflect Slime" was already on the field (it had to be Set, then activated). So it will be protected from destruction by the effect of "Imperial Custom", but will be sent to the Graveyard anyways when it would resolve (since the activation was negated). --[[User:UltimateKuriboh|UltimateKuriboh]] ([[User talk:UltimateKuriboh|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/UltimateKuriboh|contribs]]) 18:01, February 1, 2013 (UTC)

::: OCG: Since a few months ago (ruling was reversed): It is on the field until Shi En resolves, where the activation gets negated. Once its activation is negated, then it is not on the field (possibly in Limbo), then it gets destroyed by Shi En since it's not on the field for Imperial Custom.
::: TCG: No reversal mentioned, so it's probably the same as what OCG used to be before the reversal. When Shi En resolves, the activation is negated and Metal Reflect Slime is sent to the Graveyard. This happens before the end of Shi En's Chain Link, not when Metal Reflect Slime would supposedly resolve if it didn't have its activation negated.
::: Either way, Metal Reflect Slime goes to the Graveyard. The only difference is for things like [[Meklord Emperor Wisel]] being able to Trigger in the TCG since a card was destroyed.
