Remember when we learned that Reborn Tengu doesn't work with Xyzs?

Wait a minute.... If "being used as an XYZ Material" is now considered being removed from the field...
Then wouldn't cards like Birdman and Plaguespreader get Banished, instead of being overlaid?

That's what I was thinking. =|

@CDD: It's funny cause its true.

no it isn't

Dragunities can't run Tengu because it'd hurt their consistency (Tengu forces them to NS their Tuners), so it's the only decktype that i know of, that cannot be a 34 card deck because their consistency would be f***'d

[quote]The reason that this is supposedly nothing more than a baseless OCG-TCG ruling disagreement is because of Plaguespreader.

[u][b]It has already been ruled conclusively that a Plaguespreader that would banish itself when removed from the field does not banish itself upon being treated as Xyz Material.[/b][/u]


If treating a card as Xyz Material triggers Tengu's effect, it must make Tengu leave the field:

but if treating one as Xyz Material makes Tengu leave the field, it must make Plague leave the field.

And if Plague leaves the field, it must banish itself.

But it doesn't banish itself.

So it can't make it leave the field.

So it shouldn't trigger Tengu.

But it triggers Tengu, so it must make Tengu leave the field.

And if Plague leaves the field, it must banish itself.

My only clue/assumption to this is:

Overlaid Units are no longer monsters. Tengu says "card", but it's not related to Summoning Conditions. When Plague, Birdman, or Quillbolt are RFGed, it's because they were Special Summoned by their effect. Being Overlaid (presumably) resets the memory of how it was Summoned, the same as Book of Moon.

But that should conflict with Sangan because Sangan doesn't have to be a monster when it's sent to the Graveyard. So if Sangan can't do it, Tengu shouldn't be able to, either.

This seems more like an attempt to get rulings consistent until Xyz mechanics are clear, but that's a stupid way to do it.

I still don't get why Konami made such a confusing ruling.

Overlaid monster's aren't on the field, but when removed, are considered to have "left the field".

Wait, does tengu's effect go off when it is used for a xyz summon, or when it, acting as xyz materials, is sent to the grave for the monster to which it is overlaid's effect?

I understood it like this: xyz material overlaid is a similar entity to field or grave in that it is a location for monsters. When you xyz summon, your monsters leave the field to be overlaid; effects that activate when a monster leaves the field activate at this time. (tengu) When xyz material is detached, it is sent to the grave, so sent to grave effects activate. (dandy) Other monster with more specific effects, ie sangan, never get their effects because they are xyz material between field and grave.

Ninja'd, missed the second page :/

That makes some sense, except for the problem with Birdman, Plague, and Quillbolt, which are ruled in the OCG to not RFG themselves when Overlaid. If they remove themselves from the field even momentarily, they should be RFGed instead, theoretically implying they cannot be used for Xyz Summons at all.
