Yu-Gi-Oh! Rulings Questions

[Jericho]

If I had Majestic Star Dragon and Skill Drain out' date=' and attacked with MSD but my opponent activated Sakuretsu Armor and I activated Mystical Space Typhoon on the Skil Drain, does that with MSD's effect get me a direct attack?

[/quote']

 

MST goes off first destroying Skill Drain. Majestic's effect can't be activated because Sakuretsu is already activated. Majestic dies.

Can I activate Trap Stun in activation to Mirror Force to stop it?

[-Griffin]

Yes.

Crystal Abundance VS Royal Oppression

 

Who wins?

Crystal Abundance VS Royal Oppression

 

Who wins?

 

abundence, since you can play it when you opponent has no cards on the field, and then end up summonning nothing.

So Abundance works because you only know how many monsters, if any, will be SS'd at resolution?

 

OK then, thanks.

According to wiki (at least for OCG)

 

You can chain "Royal Oppression" to "Crystal Abundance", even if "Crystal Abundance" cannot Special Summon anything.

 

Royal Oppression itself has a lot of weird rulings though but you can usually even negate effects of cards that aren't actually Special Summoning anything, but has an effect that does Special Summon on the card itself.

 

I really hate making decisions of the rulings to this card lol

...*sigh* DARN YOU OPPRESSION!

[Professional Duelist]

Oppression stops the activation of a card that Special Summons, if used against a card.

[burnpsy]

Yes, but I figured it would be dodging Oppression in the same way that Magical Dimension and Limiter Removal are unaffected by Stardust. The delay.

Do XX-Sabers count as X-Sabers?

[Manjoume Thunder]

Of course.

Can I use the the effect of Cry Havoc! to activate the effect of a Gemini monster?

[Manjoume Thunder]

Can I use the the effect of Cry Havoc! to activate the effect of a Gemini monster?

 

You can remove from play 1 monster from your Graveyard to Normal Summon or Set 1 Normal Monster from your hand. You can only activate this effect during your Main Phase.

[Bringerofcake]

Well, that's what I get for skimming at eleven at night. Thanks.

2 Questions about Spell of Pain;

 

Spell of Pain's effect states "Activate only when an effect is activated that would inflict effect damage to you. Switch the effect damage to your opponents life points, instead."

 

1. Will this card work for card effects such as "Magic Cylinder", "Against the Wind", and "Flying Fortress SKYFIRE"?

 

2. If the opponent plays "Spell of Pain" in response to a card effect that you control, can you Activate your "Spell of Pain" to turn all the damage over to your opponent?

 

EDIT: Please PM me when you give a response, Thank you my friends. :)

1. Magic Cylinder and Flying Fortress SKY FIRE yes. According to Wikia, "The OCG text specifies that "Spell of Pain" can only be activated when an opponent's effect inflicts damage.", while the TCG card doesn't state this. Since I don't play the TCG but just the PSP/DS games, I can't really verify TCG rulings.

 

2. Spell of Pain itself doesn't inflict damage, it only switches who takes the damage the card Spell of Pain chained to. The original card is still inflicting the damage, so you cannot use Spell of Pain against another Spell of Pain.

If this card can only be activated in response to an opponents card, then why doesn't it say that? A lot of people can get pretty confused that way. Especially for those who don't have computers or have access to the internet.

Is sending monsters for a fusion a cost?

First of all, consider it this way: The problem is that your Spell of Pain is being activated in response to the opponent's Spell of Pain, not to your damage-dealing card, which means that it isn't being activated in response to the effect that would actually deal Effect Damage to you, which by Spell of Pain's text means it cannot be activated at all.

 

Second of all, someone screwed up in translating the card. The OCG text explicitly states that it must be your opponent's card effect.

No.

[-Griffin]

"Activate only when an effect is activated that would inflict effect damage to you. "

It's a case of reading the card, Spell of Pain does 0 damage, so you can't use it against it. It just changes which player takes the damage from the original card.

[Ragnus]

Well, I guess there's only 1 way to truly know for certain. That's why I sent a message to Konami.

[-Berserker-]

I know Strange Bird of Mist Valley will always miss the timing when sent to the graveyard as a cost; but will it have the correct timing when sent to the graveyard as part of the effect of Morphing Jar, Card Destruction or Polymerization?

[-Griffin]

Yes.

I could be wrong on this, but I believe its No for Morphing Jar, but yes for Card Destruction and Polymerization. In Morphing Jar's case, Discarding and Drawing happen separately, so Drawing is the last thing to occur, while Card Destruction, both Discarding and Drawing happen in the same clause, and Polymerization, both sacrificing and summoning occur in the same clause, so when you ask yourself what is the last effect that occurred, you could say "discarding and drawing" in Card Destruction's case for example, though only "Drawing" in regards to Morphing Jar.
