It is currently the standby phase of your turn.

Win this turn.

The method of winning has to account for all possible timings of activation of Effect Veiler.

That being said there should only be about 2-3 significant timings.

  1. Do we know which face-down (Mirror Force and My Body as a Shield) is which? Or do we have to destroy them both to guarantee that we hit the one we want?

  2. You can either blow both up, blow up neither, or blow up one and explain what you would do if you hit mirror, and what you would do if you hit My Buddy as a Shield.

  3. Puzzle Solved.

    Case 1

    Trap Eater effect activates by destroying Skill Drain. Activate ROTA. Search for Armageddon Knight.

    Summon Armageddon Knight and activates effect.
    ( Assume that you Effect Veiler , that will be Case 2).
    Dump Level Eater to the graveyard.
    Activate Call of Haunted and target Jinzo.
    Activates Level Eater's effect and target Jinzo, reducing to 5 stars and special summon to the field.

    Tune Trap Eater to Armageddon Knight and Level Eater. 4 + 4 + 1 = 9.
    Special Summon Mist Wurm.
    Effect activates and target My Body as a Shield , Spirit Reaper and Caius.
    Effect Veiler on Mist Wurm and I still have Dark Armed Dragon.
    Level Eater on Mist Wurm and special summon.
    3 darks in grave.
    Special summon Dark Armed.
    This means that either the 3 cards was targetted by Mist Wurm or Dark Armed Dragon.
    Mirror Force is a dead trap with Jinzo on the field.

    2400 + 2500 + 2800 + 600 = 8300.
    Game.

    Case 2

    If the opponent Effect Veiler on poor Armageddon Knight...
    Activates Call of Haunted on Jinzo.
    Tune Trap Eater to Armageddon Knight.
    Special Summon Red Dragon Archfiend.
    Special Summon Dark Armed Dragon with 3 darks in grave.
    Blowup My Body , Caius and Reaper.
    Mirror Force is dead again.

    2400 + 3000 + 2800 = 8200.
    Game.

    Goodnight.

  4. In either case you do not take into account the chance that the card you destroyed with DAD/Mist Wurm was NOT MBAAS and was instead Mirror Force.

    So wrong.
