Default Annihilation card

Can the annihilation card be played against a player who has played a monster card from their hand to fight against to destroy that monster in combat? Thanks

Yes. Note that this does not END the combat*, so someone with a Wandering Monster or some other way to add a new monster can keep the combat going.

* Exception: if you play Annihilation IMMEDIATELY after the other player Looks For Trouble, then combat never actually started, because the monster card was canceled without effect.

I have 2 questions:

1) Why this doesn't end the combat, if FAQ says: "If all monsters are removed from a combat, the combat ends immediately"?

2) If Looking for Trouble was cancelled by Annihilation and combat have never been started, can I Look for Trouble once more?

Because that rule changed after the earlier post in this thread. You are now correct; the combat would be over.

Yes, but not with the same card, since it was Annihilated.
