Yu-Gi-Oh! Rulings Questions

[werewolfjedi]

Can we use Pot of Duality during the Main Phase if we Special Summoned The Immortal Bushi during the Standby Phase??? lolwiki doesn't give any rullings about it.

I personally think we cannot!!

no' date=' you can't use a card that says you can do this this turn if you have already done that action, even if it was a different phase.[hr']

no, you can't use a card that says you can't do this this turn if you have already done that action, even if it was a different phase.

Can you tribute a face-down monster that cannot be tributed?

[Expelsword]

EDIT: Better question

 

My opponent activates "Fine" (Discard 2 cards) when they only have one card in their hand, can they do that and just discard the one?

[The Borg]

Does Necrovalley negate Machina Fortress from being discarded for it's effect to special summon itself and prevent it from special summon itself from the graveyard?

 

Can you tribute a face-down monster that cannot be tributed?

 

No you may not. At least I'm fairly certain on that.

I am guessing it is like paying a cost or hand destruction so they can not do that.

if the summon is from the hand, then no, in the grave, also no. machina "targets" itself, and so doesn't target any card in the grave.

It doesn't stop it.

It's not a cost, but they still can't activate it because it won't resolve.

Can I use level madulation on Horus LV8?

 

yup. that is actually a strategy in one of my Decks. I use Horus LV8 to summon my Demise or my Masked Beast (Both LV 8 monsters) and then use LV Modulation to Special Summon Horus because it negates the Summoning conditions and makes it easy to get him out without needing to wait for horus LV4 and 6. That way I can have two high level monsters out and take down some LP. and if Demise or Masked Beast gets taken down, Horus is still in the Graveyard and can be summoned with LV modulation.

[GenzoTheHarpist]

Actually, only somewhat. The ruling is that it can only be done if you already properly summoned LV8 already. There's no reason on the cards why that should be so, but that's how it is.

[Sephiroth_The_Legend]

Only if Horus the Black Flame Dragon Lv 8 was Special Summoned properly (through the effect of Lv6 or Level Up!)

if you didnt, level modulation does not work.

[Icy]

For the sake of formality. I'll ask here...

 

Can someone explain the name "Flip Troll" to me? I get how it's played. But the name sounds so horribly insulting, so explain how the name came to be? =X

[MarbleZone]

Is the expression "inflict Battle Damage to a monster" correct, or is Battle Damage only the damage players take?

[-Griffin]

I think it's old OCG, but still acceptable.

[BDKMRV]

Is the expression "inflict Battle Damage to a monster" correct' date=' or is Battle Damage only the damage players take?

[/quote']

 

Battle Damage is from a battle consisting with a monster(s).

 

Ex.

Your attacking X-Head Cannon/1800 ATK

V.S.

Opponent's attack position Celtic Guardian/1400 ATK

 

1800-1400 = 400

 

If a monster attack is altered by an effect that would negate the attack and inflict damage instead, then it is know as Effect Damage.

 

Ex.

Your attacking X-Head Cannon/1800 ATK

V.S.

Opponent's attack position Celtic Guardian/1400 ATK

 

Attack is negated by opponent's Magic Cylinder.

 

You take 1800 direct effect damage.

[White Void]

I have an idea for an OTK/FTK deck but I need an answer to one question. Is Bubble Illusion like Double Summon in the sense that if I activate 2 in the same turn I can still only activate one trap from my hand or is it the case where if I activate 2 Bubble Illusion in one turn that I can use two traps from my hand that turn? The wording of the card itself isn't totally clear on the issue and I can't find any rulings on it.

[Expelsword]

I have an extremely complex question regarding Thunder King Rai-Oh and Stardust Dragon (I hope you prepared yourself)

 

 

Ok, I have Stardust and Stardust/Assault in grave about to be resummoned during my end phase

Opponent has Rai-Oh - Intends to use it on /Assault

 

I, as the turn player, have original Stardust return first

/Assault Follows

Chain Rai-Oh

 

Can the original Stardust negate it?

 

Basically, what my question boils to: is Rai-Oh Speed 2 or 3?

 

My opponent argued this ruling

"'Thunder King Rai-Oh's' second effect can be activated at the same timing as "Solemn Judgment", "Horn of Heaven", etc., to negate Special Summons that do not start a Chain.[1]" means it is Speed 3, since it can be activated when Solemn would be; to quote "Are you saying Stardust can negate a Solemn?"

 

I argued this ruling

"Thunder King Rai-Oh's" effect that negates the Special Summon of 1 of your opponent's monsters is a Quick Effect.[1] means he is Speed 2 and Stardust could have negated him, since are not all quick monsters Speed 2?

 

so... Is Rai-Oh Speed 2 or 3?

 

EDIT: Oh, and in case I'm right, I'll need a detailed explaination, the person is... tough to reason with...

EDIT: Thank you

The wording of the card itself isn't totally clear on the issue and I can't find any rulings on it.

 

The card grants the user an ability: "During this turn' date=' you can activate 1 trap card from your hand". In order for you to activate 2 trap cards from your hand, you would need a card whose effect allowed 2 or more per turn. Bubble Illusion only permits one.

 

No many how many you activate in a turn, you can only activate 1 Trap card from your hand during that turn through the effects of Bubble Illusion. Activating more shouldn't grant you more uses.

 

I've never tried the card myself, but based on its wording, it shouldn't allow for more even if you activate more than one.

All Quick Effects are Speed Spell 2, no matter what. Counter Traps are the only Speed Spell 3 cards.

 

The rulings which state "'Thunder King Rai-Oh's' second effect can be activated at the same timing as "Solemn Judgment", "Horn of Heaven", etc., to negate Special Summons that do not start a Chain.[1]" refers to WHEN you can use the effect (a timing issue), not how fast it is.

[Expelsword]

I knew I was right, but it does pose the follow-up: was I allowed to chose which Stardust varriant returns first and (like in a situation here) abuse it?

[-Griffin]

There's a bigger problem Expel.

/Assault and Stardust start a chain when Summoned, Rai-Oh cannot negate them.

Moot question. TKRO can't negate a stardust coming back for the same reaon solemn can't negate gorz.

[Expelsword]

WAIT WHAT????

 

Are you saying you can't Solemn a Stardust reviving? Expain pl0x This makes my deck even more deadly if true. Can you also not Divine Wrath it when it returns?

[-Griffin]

You can Wrath, but not Solemn, Black Horn or Rai-Oh.

 

When SDD(/AM) returns to the field, it's because of a monster effect. Solemn, Black Horn and Rai-Oh cannot negate Summons -as a result of an effect-. That means Rai-Oh and Black Horn also can't negate things like Rekindling. The only Summons they can negate are ones that just have conditions and never 'activate' like Faultroll, Judgment Dragon, Dark Armed, Cydra, ect. It never says "activate the effect to Summon this card" like SDD(/AM) does.

[Expelsword]

Hmm... good to know, thank you YCM

 

Oh, one more question:

 

If a card can destroy up to two cards, and they declare two targets, can Starlight be chained?

[darkwolf777]

Hmm... good to know' date=' thank you YCM

 

Oh, one more question:

[/quote']

 

Yes, as long as you can determine at activation that it will destroy 2 cards you control, then its fine.

 

Examples you were probably asking about were the Monarchs. Both Mobius and Kuraz for example target up to 2 cards and destroys them. They both target, so they must choose their targets at activation. If they only choose to target one of your cards, then you cannot activate Starlight Road. If they target two of your cards, then you can.

[Expelsword]

Precisely, thank you again oh wise sage!

[Chaos Flame]

Lolwikiasaid:

You can select a Monster Token with "Cyber Valley's" second effect. When the effect resolves, it is removed from the field and "Cyber Valley" is removed from play.[1]

Another ruling source (Netrep.net) said nothing about this...

Is it true that you can do this?
