Do effects like Verdant Sanctuary or Arcane Barrier trigger if a Set monster is destroyed by battle?!
A face-down monster is attacked and destroyed by battle.
No. Those effects do not trigger when the destroyed monster was face-down.

If that card's effect is negated (by Spell Canceller), Spell Counters can't be placed on it and any Spell Counters already on it are removed. ●The Ignition Effect activates & resolves on the field. ●Sending “Arcane Barrier” and a Spellcaster to the GY is a cost.
