Question about Sakuretsu Armor;

 

I've noticed that Several times in the past' date=' i've been asked to take out my Sakuretsu Armors from my decks. And i've been wondering why I have to take them out. So the question is, what's wrong with a trap card that destroys an opponents attacking monster?

it's not a chainable, and D.prison is better.

 

I completely forgot about D. Prison. Thanks for the info.

Just curious, if you have an EI, play hero's mask and change its name, and summon another EI, What happens at the end phase, do you have to destroy one?

There can never be 2 Earthbound Immortals face-up on the field at any time. If changing its name would allow the 2nd to be Summoned without an issue, if its name changes back and there are two on the field, you would have to destroy one.

Is it possible that Doomkaiser Dragon/Assault Mode can miss its effect of Special Summoning Zombie Monsters from the Graveyard.

 

Because I remember on WC09 that I chained Assault Mode Activate to my opponent's Heavy Storm and Special Summoned Doomkaiser Dragon/Assault Mode, but a message appeared that I can't activate Doomkaiser Dragon/Assault Mode's mode effect, because it misses the timing.

 

Which is odd, because by reading Doomkaiser Dragon/Assault Mode, it's effect of Special Summoning monsters from the Graveyard doesn't look optional at all, since the text lacks "you can"

 

I checked the wikia too, but there's nothing about a timing ruling on Doomkaiser Dragon/Assault Mode

yes that kind of miss is possible. it's field timing matters.

grave timing never matters for non-"you can".

Volcanic Counter. I was watching my friend and his volcanic deck while he was dueling and he had 3 V-Counters in the grave. His opponent attacked directly with a monster and my friend activated all 3 volcanic counters on one attack, which resulted in enough damage for game.

 

I told him that wasn't legal, but I'm not sure. Can anyone clarify?

[Sephiroth_The_Legend]

as long as he has at least 1 OTHER FIRE monster in his graveyard. then yes, its possible.....it just forms a chain....

 

you take one hit of damage after the other.

Eww. Hahaha, I'm gonna dislike fighting him even more now. Time to start siding remove from play cards.

[Sephiroth_The_Legend]

If Arcana Force VII - The Chariot has it's heads effect and destroys a facedown Penguin Soldier by battle, would it's effect activate or would it miss the timing?

[darkwolf777]

[/quote']

 

Generally, a monster's flip effect activates and resolves on the field, after damage calculation but before said monster is sent to the Graveyard. Penguin Soldier's effect would activate before you get a chance of using Arcana Force VII - The Chariot's effect. If for whatever reason, your The Chariot is not chosen to be returned to the hand, when Penguin Soldier is sent to the Graveyard, you could activate its effect.

If Destiny Hero Plasma or Relinquished equips a face-down monster, it gains no ATK power, correct?

[crimsonwendy]

I have two questions.

If you go first can Hand Destruction be activated if your opponent has not taken there turn?

I read that Necrovalley dose not stop everything in the Graveyard. Could you explain what Necrovalley dose not effect.

1) Yes, you can activate Hand Destruction during your first turn. Whether they've had their first turn or not has no bearing on that.

 

2) http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Card_Rulings:Necrovalley I link it because according to the wiki, OCG and TCG rulings are different, so choose to read the section for your tournament (most likely TCG)

If a monster with 0 ATK attacks another Attack Position monster with an ATK of 0, what happens? I expect that they both would be destroyed, like in any other battle, but I'm being told otherwise.

A monster with 0 ATK cannot destroy anything by battle, including a monster that also has 0 ATK. I've actually asked Konami this question personally and was the answer I received. It also works that way in all of the video games.

Why people tell me to add Brionac, Goyo, Colossal and 3 Stardust in my extra even when I run Macro? Are those really worthy spending the space if most of the time I'll be unable to use their effects?

[burnpsy]

Stardust can use its effect with Macro out, you just don't get it back. With Macro out, you'll also have a second card out for Starlight Road.

 

Also, you can't always count of having Macro out, so most would still use a few, but not THAT much space. :/

Brionac: Brionac states to discard, not "sent to the Graveyard". You'll be able to discard (which they'll be removed from play instead) to perform its effect: EDIT I should correct this. NORMALLY, you could this (because it states Discard). I think there's a typo on the English wording of Brionac that instead of "Discard" its supposed to be "send to the Graveyard" in Japanese >_> I'm not sure sure on that... If for the TCG it goes by "Discard" then you should be able to use this when Macro Cosmos is on the field.

 

Stardust Dragon: You can still Tribute Stardust Dragon to perform its negation effect. Since its not in the Graveyard though, you wont be able to return it to the field during the End Phase.

 

As for Goyo Guardian and Colossal Fighter, other than a high attack power, I couldn't tell you.

That's been errata'd already.

My Macro deck is the main reason my friends have side decks. What can I have in my side deck to counter anti-D.D. side decks?

MST/Dust Tornado/Twister for Iron Wall. Last Day of Witch/generic monster destruction for Kycoo.

 

I dunno what other things people side against Macro... (IIRC, you can't Trap Eater Macro)

From what I've seen, Return and Royal Decree (The second guy doesn't know I run just 1 macro and 3 D. Fissure)...

[Monztor]

Situation:

Heraklinos is on the field and your opponent activates Skill Successor\'s effect from the graveyard.

 

Can it negate the activation of the trap card from the graveyard, and if so, what happens after its being negated? Is it destroyed and sent back to the graveyard, or removed from play still?
