Does removal negate the effect of Quest for Holy Relic?
Asked by kyozen 14 years ago
Let's say my opponent activates his quest-for-holy-relic on one of his creatures, what would happen if I destroyed/removed that particular creature he's using the quest on?
More specifically, since Quest for the Holy Relic 's activated ability doesn't target, once it resolves your opponent searches for an equipment and puts it into play, then attaches it to a creature, and you can't do anything while the ability is resolving.
If in response to the ability you can kill all of their creatures, however, they won't have anything to attach it to, and if (since this happens often with QFTHR decks) they only have a couple creatures that don't have summoning sickness, you can kill all the creatures without summoning sickness and give yourself an extra turn to deal with whatever.

So does it mean that when the quest gets the equipment out I can now react by targeting the creature he's gonna attach it on?

no. that's the entire point. QFTHR doesn't target, so you don't know where the equipment is going when the ability goes on the stack, and you can't cast spells or activate abilities while something is in the process of resolving. you can either do something when the QFTHR ability goes on the stack, or wait and do something once the equipment is attached.

Ok, I think I'm finally getting the gist of it, thanks for all the help good sirs.

The effect would go off because Quest for the Holy Relic doesn't target until the equipment is in play.
