<p><strong>In all scenarios you mention XYZ Effect resolves</strong></p>

<p>Why? Because <strong>neither MST, Cosmic Cyclone, or that card that returns to deck have the ability to negate effects;</strong> they "just" destroy the card, but never negated its activation and thus it resolves. </p>

<p>This situation is similar to one <a href="https://boardgames.stackexchange.com/a/40535/22373">answer</a> I gave recently.

This is because <strong>cards with continuous effects must remain face-up on the field to resolve their effects.</strong> </p>

**In all scenarios you mention XYZ Effect resolves**

Why? Because **neither MST, Cosmic Cyclone, or that card that returns to deck have the ability to negate effects;** they "just" destroy the card, but never negated its activation and thus it resolves.

This situation is similar to one [answer](https://boardgames.stackexchange.com/a/40535/22373) I gave recently. The only cases where a card like MST or similar (that just destroys) can prevent a spell/trap card effect from activating is if that spell/trap card has a continuous effect.

For example, if your opponent activates [Fire Formation - Tenki](http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Fire_Formation_-_Tenki) and you cast MST on it your opponent will not be able to search for a beast-warrior. This is because **cards with continuous effects must remain face-up on the field to resolve their effects.**
