  1. "Next, he activates Scrap Dragon's effect to destroy his freshly set Bottomless Trap Hole and one of Steinman's Mystical Shine Balls."

  2. ^ he sets his bottomless trap hole, then activates scrap dragons effect to select it along with the mystical shine ball and destroys them both, because scrap dragon needs to destroy one of his own cards as well.
