Team Masho and Double Teaming

Hello,

I didn't see any discussion of this question so I figured I would ask:

My question is how the Team Masho bonus works with the card Double Teaming.

Team Masho bonus reads:

During Setup, after both you and your opponent reveal your 4 starting characters and you show that you have the Masho Team Bonus, search your Deck for a 5th character and reveal it. Put all 5 characters into your hand. Choose 1 of your 5 characters and put it into the Arena face-up and the other 4 facedown in the Match Slots of your choosing. Your characters only flip face-up when a card affects them, or when they enter the Arena. If you qualify for the Team Bonus after the game has started, then you just turn your characters facedown, without rearranging them.

While Double Teaming reads:

You may discard a card from your hand to choose an attack on one of your face-up characters on your sideline...

So at first sight, it looks that if you qualify for the Masho Team bonus, then you cannot use Double Teaming as the text clearly states that you choose a face-up character. Yet the Masho Team bonus also clearly states that characters do flip face-up when a card affects them. So the question is this, when you play Double Teaming do you immediately affect a character on your sideline, allowing you than to flip it face up, or are you not able to use Double Teaming because it has no valid target?

To me it seems like the former is the case, but that would be quite a bummer.

Thanks!

There would be no target, and you could not play Double Teaming. The reason for this is due to the wording of the card, and the order the effect happens. For the effect of Double Teaming to activate in the first place, you must have a face up character card; thus the card cannot actually target anything, never activating the Team Masho bonus. The card was intentionally worded that way, with the Team Masho bonus in mind, because the Team Masho bonus is the only thing that allows you to have non-face up characters in the first place.

the golden rule of yuyu is that the text always determines what happens. unless stated otherwise in the crd follow exactly what the text says.
