Does Deck Devastation Virus destroy Tragoedia in the hand?✓
Tragoedia is in the hand when DDV resolves.
Yes. "?" ATK is treated as 0 for Virus cards, so Tragoedia is destroyed.
If Heavy Storm is CL1 and DDV is CL2, what can Starlight Road be chained to?✓
Both effects would destroy multiple cards.
Starlight Road can only be chained to the effect that would destroy 2+ of your cards; in this chain it would be for DDV if you control 2 or more monsters with 1500 or less ATK.
