Forgot the colon.

Ahhh, shoulda seen that. I added the colon, made the second effect optional, and removed the period before the "then" clause. Hopefully that makes the card neater!

I like it

Forgot the colon.

I don't want to be picky with punctuation, but when someone does that and gets it wrong it won't sit well with me.

 

Only one colon and semicolon per sentence, and all colons are to precede any semicolons. Colon indicates activation conditions, implying Chain Link formations. Everything after a semicolon would imply it takes place during effect resolution. We can't have an extra Chain Link being added during card resolution.

 

 

Target 1 monster you control; destroy that target, and if that target was sent to the Graveyard: then you can Special Summon that target from the Graveyard, then destroy that target and 1 other card on the field.

See also Magical Dimension for optional things that could happen during effect resolution.

 

I'm not certain on what you plan to achieve with 2 destruction triggers in a single card effect resolution. Once a Chain begins resolving, no other card effects can form Chain Links until it's done resolving, unlike MtG's stack. In that case, only 1 instance of your desired on-destruction card effect will happen.

 

Fire/Ice Hand won't benefit from this card at all, because they want your opponent to destroy them.
