Annihilation

[Gamer234]

Annihilation: Short version...remove any 1 card from the game. If the card (you are annihilating) had just been played, its effects are cancelled immediately.

Okay, here is the chain of events...In a 5-handed game, Player A is in combat against a single creature and is being helped by Player B. A creature is Wandered in and the duo is losing. Player B plays "It's Dead" killing the creature and leaving its treasure behind. Those 2 cards are put aside to resolve after combat is over. Another creature is Wandered in. Player B plays the Potion of Disbelief on one of the 2 remaining creatures, putting those aside as well. The other 3 players conference frantically and one of them plays annihilation on the "It's dead" card, and claims that the killed monster is put back into combat. A&B bump themselves up some more and are finally ready to win the combat when Friendly is played. The Duo happily split up 13 treasure cards (they were big monsters with some enhancers that are irrelevant to the issue) and a Fairy treasure.

My issue is this:

Since the "It's Dead" card was the first one used and set aside, by the time it was Annihilated, its effect wouldn't be cancelled, thus the monster it killed should still be dead. As the ultimate result wouldn't have been changed, and 2 of the newer players (who were on the interferring side) might've felt hosed by fast-talk, I didn't bring it up. Am I right though?
