Hi,
May I use Yuki no Onna's Wrath if deadly ground has been played? May I choose to use this spell and not distroy the deadly ground?
The Cards
Deadly Ground Immediate Terrain Battle: Players can take no actions for this battle except ones that destroy this terrain
Yuki no Onna's Wrath Water Battle: Bow this Shugenja: Destroy a target card without attachments opposing this Shugenja. You may destroy a Terrain.
Thanks in advance,
Bye..............Rémi.

No. An action must have an unconditional effect to destroy Deadly Ground for the action to be legal.
