it's played at the same time as them so yes it does apply.

You play Shield. Shield is now on your field.

The opponent plays Strength. Strength is now on their field.

You play Strength, Bow, Slash, Slash, Slash, and Slash. The opponent is now at 17. You discard their Strength that they just played because that's the optimal move and I see no reason you'd do anything else.

You are now at 23.

You draw Strength. The next card will be Shield.
