Destroyed cards mechanic - PFG question

[Ballyworld]

Alot of DP cards have a 'when X is destroyed trigger' of some type, now does that mean effects that time out and go to graveyard normally are 'destroyed'?

For example, the hunter card Survivalist draws a card when trap is 'destroyed', now does that mean if a trap is triggered does its thing then goes to graveyard, do you draw a card or would this have to be shieked, FP'd or something to draw a card.

I guess its a question of active vs passive destruction.

A better wording for all cards of this type might be 'sent to graveyard' if passive destruction is an intended trigger.

I think you draw when the trap triggers

It's the same general wording as Ill-Gotten Gains, which triggers when a trap is activated and discarded.

IGG read "When an opposing ally is killed or enemy item is destroyed while Ill-Gotten Gains is in play, draw a card." When Portal times out or traps trigger the rogue hero draws a card I'd assume it is the same for the DP cards.

Speaking of rogues I just got ninja'd

I am pretty sure you don't get a card out of IGG when Portal or RD leaves play.

PFG question?

PFG members aren't allowed to talk too much about cards, maybe your question can be answered, but i'm not sure, and if i'm not sure about an answer i don't say anything, :P

i think we can answer rules questions And in this case survivalist will draw wether your trap is destroyed by a card like stopthief, or wether it triggers by it's condition

I used to use a portal deck as main and IIRC then they did draw a card when it left play traps definitely trigger it.

IGG shouldn't be triggering against support abilities.

The PFG may answer rule questions if we are certain of the ruling (we had to ask some of these same things ourselves in the past). The main thing the PFG shouldn't talk about are the testing of the cards (ie. past versions) and we also shouldn't be giving away combos yet as it would stifle creativity before it even had the chance to bloom.

Thanks for the replys, I was curious about the current mechanic. I havn't played much rouge and my hunter decks don't use traps right now, so I was curious what 'destroyed' actually meant. Removed from play probably would not trigger anything.

@PFG and DT: a change in the wording (ie sent to graveyard) on survivalist might be helpful. I know the rulebook is on the forums here but many new players do not immediately get on the forums so exact mechanical wording might be helpful.
