What happens when a Trap Monster leaves the field?✓
A Trap Monster is removed from the field.
It is removed as a Trap Card. It cannot be revived with Time Machine or Return of the Doomed, does not trigger Blackwing - Shura the Blue Flame, and you cannot activate Michizure for it.
If Goyo Guardian destroys Pyramid Turtle and Time Machine is activated, how does the chain resolve?!
Goyo Guardian destroys Pyramid Turtle by battle, and Time Machine is activated.
Chain order is CL1 Goyo, CL2 Turtle, CL3 Time Machine. Resolve backward: Time Machine summons Turtle, Turtle searches, and Goyo cannot summon because the monster is no longer in the GY.
