If I activate a "Destruction Ring" and destroy my face-up copy of "Peten the Dark Clown" in order in inflict damage, will I be able to activate the effect of "Peten the Dark Clown" or will the inflicting of damage cause me to miss "Peten's" timing?
"Destruction Ring"
Normal Trap Card
Destroy 1 face-up monster on your side of the field to inflict 1000 points of damage to both players' Life Points.
Answer:
The destruction of the target monster and the inflicted damage occur simultaneously.
Assuming no other card effects intervene, it would be possible to activate "Peten the Dark Clown's" effect in this case.
