From my understanding of the Replay Rule' date=' at least provided by the Wiki, a Replay can only occur during the Battle Step, not the Damage Step, so if you attacked Blue Eyes White Dragon with Dark Magician and activated Rush Recklessly during the Damage Step, but the opponent uses SD/AM's effect to negate it, a Replay does not occur. In the event you attacked SD/AM in the same scenario and SD/AM negates Rush Recklessly, it's already gone, so the battle is halted, but no Replay will occur.

 

@Captain Lawless: That is correct.

So for example:

 

An opponent's Blackwing monster attacks my SD/AM and he/she uses Kalut, but I negate.

 

No replay occurs and I take no battle damage?

No replay occurs during the Damage Step, only during Battle Step. In the example you gave, nothing is destroyed and no damage is dealt because the attack never connected, and the Blackwing is done attacking for the round. Now, if you attacked a Cyber Dragon with Bora and used Kalut, but Kalut was negated, the attack target is still on the field, so the attack resumes, just minus Kalut's effect.

Was told I couldn't Royal Oppression someone's Gorz. Truth?

 

Royal Oppression cannot be activated during the Damage Step. You could negate Gorz outside of the Damage Step though (in response to Effect Damage being received and Gorz attempting to be Summoned).

 

oshi-, I forgot about his anti-burn effect. :D

 

Anyway, what happens if my opponent syncs for Hyunlei using Darksoul and activates her effect, while I have DCK on the field?

Anyway' date=' what happens if my opponent syncs for Hyunlei using Darksoul and activates her effect, while I have DCK on the field?

My main issue with answering this question is in regards to Darksoul's effect on whether "If this card you control is sent to the Graveyard" is the Trigger or if it is simply a Condition for the "During the End Phase" trigger. I believe it is a Condition. lolwikia's SEMI-OFFICIAL (whatever that means... its either Official or its Not) rulings state that this is the Trigger. Therefore, I answered this both ways:

 

[spoiler="HYPOTHESIS A: IF "If this card you control is sent to the Graveyard" is the TRIGGER." (lolwikia version)]

 

From the looks of the Wikia, "If this card you control is sent to the Graveyard" is this card's Trigger. If this is the case, Darksoul will be a Mandatory Trigger (It cannot be optional since you cannot make a choice if it activates at this time or not, it creates the latent trigger effect of "During the End Phase" with its successful resolution whether you like it or not. It is only until at End Phase do you choose to Special Summon or not, not during this card's activation). Hyunlei is an optional Trigger Effect. If this is the case, the Chain would be as follows:

 

Chain 1: Darksoul (Your Mandatory Effect)

Chain 2: Hyunlei (Your Optional Effect)

Chain 3: Doomcaliber Knight (Activating in response automatically to the latest effect in the SEGOC)

 

Resolving Backwards...

 

Chain 3: Doomcaliber Knight negates Hyunlei and destroys her (hawt~)

Chain 2: Hyunlei is negated

Chain 1: Darksoul resolves successfully, creating the latent Trigger Effect (During the End Phase, the Latent Trigger effect cannot be chained to during the End Phase as Darksoul resolved successfully and the Latent put in place).

 

In this example, Hyunlei is negated and destroyed and Darksoul resolves successfully and later on during the End Phase, you can add 1 X-Saber to your hand (This effect cannot be chained to During the End Phase as it is the result of an effect that had already resolved successfully).

 

 

 

 

[spoiler=HYPOTHESIS B: If "If this card you control is sent to the Graveyard" is a CONDITION. (based on Sun Dragon Inti's effect)]

If "If this card you control is sent to the Graveyard" isn't a Trigger, but a Condition, it should work similarly to Sun Dragon Inti's effect to Special Summon Moon Dragon Quilla.

 

Therefore, in this same situation, Darksoul does not activate at this time (A CONDITION is triggered that allows the effect to activate, but Darksoul's effect is not activated at this time, therefore he does not become a part of this chain), The only effects activating are Hyunlei (if chosen to) and Doomcaliber (if Hyunlei is activated). Darksoul will not activate at all until the End Phase.

 

In this case, the chain is the same as before, sans Darksoul:

 

Chain 1: Hyunlei

Chain 2: Doomcaliber Knight

 

Resolving...

 

Chain 2: Doomcaliber Knight negates and destroys Hyunlei

Chain 1: Hyunlei is negated.

 

 

 

 

Either way could be right, so asking Konami might be the only way x.o; Personally, I believe Hypothesis B is correct, based on the card's wording. Unfortunately, being a TCG card, the TCG can make rules to their liking for it, which contradicts to other cards with similar wording/rulings, and therefore, I cannot say which is correct x.o

One of the best dragon decks is Hopeless Dragon/Disaster Dragon. Wiki can help you a bit with more info. It revolves around Red Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon and it's ability to quickly Special Summon big dragons. Some variations use Blue Eyes, some use Light and Darkness Dragon, etc.

With the way people talk about the wiki, I've tried to avoid it. I'll go check it out, thank you.

I have a Question about Black Garden and LADD

 

If i control a face-up Black Garden and during my opponent turn he summons LADD.

 

can LADD negate the Effect of Black Garden when he is summoned or not?

 

LADD cannot only negate the activation of a Spell/Trap card (when it is first played face-up on the field). It cannot negate the "activation of an effect" of an already face-up Spell/Trap card, so it cannot negate your already face-up Black Garden.

so LADD attack point will cut in half.

can he negate the SP summon of the Token?

 

As mentioned already, he cannot negate the effects of an already face-up Spell/Trap card, so no.

 

Also, "Halving the ATK" and "Summoning the Token" are not two separate card activations. There is only one activation (When a monster is Normal/Special Summoned as the Trigger). If that activation is negated, then neither halving ATK or Summoning a Token would happen.

Creature Swap

 

I select my Thought Ruler Archfiend' date=' can I then negate it?

[/quote']

 

Creature Swap does not target.

 

If an Earthbound Immortal is the only card on my field' date=' can my opponent attack me directly? Or he can't attack at all?

[/quote']

 

They can't attack at all. Which interestingly contradicts the rulings of Guardian Kay'est and Legendary Fisherman, but that is the rule for the EBIs.

No. Creature Swap does not target.

 

"Each player selects 1 monster they control and switches control of those monsters with each other" of Creature Swap happen simultaneously (its joined with the word "and"). "Switching Control of Those Monsters" is part of the effect of this card, but because selecting is part of this sentence by the word "and", it too must be part of its effect.

 

Therefore, "Each Player Select 1 Monster They Control" is an Effect of Creature Swap which occurs at resolution. For a card to target, the targets would have to be selected at Activation. Since this isn't the case, Creature Swap does not target and Thought Ruler Archfiend cannot do anything against it.
