When can Chain Disappearance be used against Substitoad or the monster it Summons?✓
Substitoad is Summoned and tributes itself to Special Summon a Frog.
Chain Disappearance can be used in the Summon response window if the monster remains on the field. If Substitoad tributes itself for cost, it is no longer a legal target; you can instead chain to the summoned monster if it meets the condition.
If Lonefire uses priority and tributes itself, can Chain Disappearance be activated?✓
Lonefire is Summoned and tributes itself as cost.
No. The targeted monster is no longer on the field, so Chain Disappearance cannot be activated.
