Mmkay, so here's a question I have based off of something that would have happened in a duel between another DGA and myself (Had my internet not died).

Heavy Storm wrote:
Destroy all Spell and Trap Cards on the field.
Starlight Road wrote:
Activate only when an effect is activated that would destroy 2 or more cards you control. Negate the effect and destroy that card. Then, you can Special Summon 1 "Stardust Dragon" from your Extra Deck.
Mystical Space Typhoon wrote:
Target 1 Spell/Trap Card on the field; destroy that target.

My question is this:
If this other member activates Heavy Storm, I chain with Starlight Road, and he chains with Mystical Space Typhoon (To destroy his own Heavy Storm), what exactly happens?

Yes, I know, chains resolve backwords. His MST destroys his Heavy Storm. But it doesn't negate. Starlight Road says activate when an -effect is activated- that would destroy two or more cards I control. And then I get to special summon (And it doesn't say if I successfully destroy the card). I see three possible options.

Option 1: MST destroys Heavy Storm, Starlight Road negates the effect of Heavy Storm (But can't destroy it), a wild Stardust Dragon appears.
Option 2: MST destroys Heavy Storm, Starlight Road doesn't negate the effect of Heavy Storm, a wild Stardust Dragon appears.
Option 3: MST destroys Heavy Storm, Starlight Road doesn't resolve because it cannot destroy Heavy Storm, a wild Stardust Dragon doesn't appear.

I would assume option one, because the effect of Heavy Storm seems to be the important part, rather than destroying the card itself. Can anyone provide some insight?

The activation requirement to play Starlight Road was met, so it will negate the effect of Heavy Storm. Starlight Road, however, MUST destroy a card in order to Special Summon a "Stardust Dragon" from your Extra Deck. If for whatever reason the effect negated cannot be destroyed by Starlight Road itself, you will not get your Stardust Dragon.

Option 4: MST destroys Heavy Storm, Starlight Road negates the effect of Heavy Storm (But can't destroy it), a wild Stardust Dragon doesn't appear.

^ That, then?
