<p>I suppose you mean the effect Decider has that activates on the hand (to reduce effect damage inflicted to 0). Your Buster Blader couldnt' stop it because <em>DNA surgery only affects monsters on the field</em>, from it's text:</p>

  <p>Activate this card by declaring 1 Monster Type. All <strong>face-up monsters on the field</strong> become that Type.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Because of that is that Destiny Hero - Decider was still able to activate its effect, because when in the hand it is still a Warrior and not a Dragon.</p>

<p>Seems that you were asking about the effect that states <em>"Level 6 or higher monsters your opponent controls cannot target this card for attacks."</em></p>

<p>From Buster Blader's card text, emphasis mine:</p>

<p>However, that effect Destiny Hero - Decider you ask about is a <strong>Continuous effect. Those kind of effects do not "activate"</strong>, as they are always and continuously taking effect.

I suppose you mean the effect Decider has that activates on the hand (to reduce effect damage inflicted to 0). Your Buster Blader couldnt' stop it because *DNA surgery only affects monsters on the field*, from it's text:

> Activate this card by declaring 1 Monster Type. All **face-up monsters on the field** become that Type.

Because of that is that Destiny Hero - Decider was still able to activate its effect, because when in the hand it is still a Warrior and not a Dragon.

Seems that you were asking about the effect that states *"Level 6 or higher monsters your opponent controls cannot target this card for attacks."*

From Buster Blader's card text, emphasis mine:

> [...] also Dragon-Type monsters in your opponent's possession *cannot **activate** their effects*.

However, that effect Destiny Hero - Decider you ask about is a **Continuous effect. Those kind of effects do not "activate"**, as they are always and continuously taking effect. Thus, Destiny Hero - Decider does not activate *that* effect, this why Buster Blader couldn't prevent it from being "activated".
