If I understand your ruleset, every time anything is created, something 
else must be destroyed; if I go to the Market and give all my stuff to 
you, doesn't that either fail or destroy lots of stuff in your game? 
Under this wording, at least, you can't decide that you don't want to 
take my stuff yet, so you can't necessarily wait for something useless 
to destroy...
