Can I target Blue-Eyes White Dragon with Ring of Destruction if it would create a loop?
You control Gemini Elf and Opticlops which is equipped with Axe of Despair, Pole Position is face-up, and Blue-Eyes White Dragon is on the field.
Destroying Blue-Eyes White Dragon with Ring of Destruction would create a voluntary infinite loop involving Opticlops, Axe of Despair, and Pole Position. Voluntary loops are illegal, so you cannot target Blue-Eyes with Ring of Destruction.

●You can't activate Ring of Destruction during the Damage Step.
●Ring of Destruction inflicts damage based on the current (total) ATK value, NOT the original ATK.
●This card targets a monster.
●If you chain Ring of Destruction to Magic Cylinder, Magic Cylinder’s effect disappears because the monster is no longer there (so Magic Cylinder inflicts no damage).
●If a player Tributes Witch of the Black Forest for Summoned Skull, you can chain Ring of Destruction to the effect of Witch of the Black Forest, in order to destroy Summoned Skull. If this reduces the player’s Life Points to zero, then they can't use Witch of the Black Forest’s effect (to retrieve a 5th Exodia piece, for example).
