Yu-Gi-Oh! Rulings Questions

[-Griffin]

Same as Goats.

[evilfusion]

Faultroll has the "Cannot be Special Summoned except" clause. Unless specifically designated as such, the location of Summoning is always the hand. If it's not in your hand, you can't Special Summon it, period.

 

All effects/cards where it states that you can't do something for the turn cannot be used if you've already done it that turn. Soul Exchange can't be used if you had a Battle Phase, Hidden Armory can't be used if you already Normal Summoned/Set, and Pot of Duality can't be used if you Special Summoned.

 

Going against the terms of contract specifically because you haven't signed YET and then trying to sign afterwards is not acceptable.

Dust Tornado vs Fusion Gate

Could the player still fusion summon?

[evilfusion]

No. Fusion Gate, being a Field Spell, has the same rules as continuous S/Ts. If they're not faceup on the field, their effects fizzle.

[BDKMRV]

Why isn't Dust Tornado a counter trap anymore?

[evilfusion]

It never was. It was always a Normal Trap.

[BDKMRV]

I remember seeing it as a Counter Trap before E-Heroes.

It was Super Rare.

 

Maybe it was a misprint. Idk.

[-Griffin]

It never was. Misprint

[BDKMRV]

Ah. Ok.

Thanks for the clarification.

What is 1-4-1 removal? Is it 1 for 1 or 1 takes 4 then takes 1?

That is really weird wording.

 

1-4-1 removal (One-for-one removal) is a card with the capability of destroying or otherwise "removing" a card using only itself. It removes one card in exchange for one card (itself)

 

Smashing Ground, Fissure, Exiled Force, Mystical Space Typhoon, D-Prison, etc are examples, as they all can get rid of one of your opponent's cards in exchange for one of yours (the card in question).

Thanks, I didn't exactly understand it.

[Sephiroth_The_Legend]

As "Skyscraper 2 - Hero City" contains "Skyscraper" in it's card name, does that mean "Elemental Hero Captain Gold" isn't destroyed while it's on the field?

[evilfusion]

No, it will still be destroyed. Captain Gold is specific in the card name. It must be "Skyscraper".

 

To permit it, it would have to say a "Skyscraper card/field spell/some other designator that allows multiple cards based on name"

If Barbaros is already on the field, and later I activate Skill Drain, does he get his full attack? cuz someone mentioned something about a spell speed rule that says Skill drain have to be face-up BEFORE barbaros for him to get the full atk

[Manjoume Thunder]

He does.

 

That is actually a very common play.

[-Griffin]

They're wrong. Any time Barb is negated, his original ATK resets.

I know, that's why I was surprised when that guy told me this rule, and he was a pro in the game ,.. -.-

[BDKMRV]

If you synchro summon with Plaguespreader Zombie with it already being special summoned from the grave, does it get removed from play?

 

I ask this because I used to think that if I used Rekindling and synchro summoned with the special summoned monsters, then they were removed during the end phase from the grave, but I was told otherwise.

[evilfusion]

If it was Special Summoned by its own effect, it will get RFGed when removed from the field. If you Special Summoned it by Book of Life, etc, it won't be removed.

 

Rekindling/etc only RFGs the monsters if they're still on the field. Returning to hand, deck, or graveyard will not RFG them at the End Phase.

Oh I see. Thanks.

Also if my opponent plays Heavy Storm and he chains it with his own Starlight Road, can I play Starlight Road as well?

[evilfusion]

About that. If your opponent plays Storm, YOU as the opponent get priority to chain first, so you can use Road (if 2+ of your cards will be destroyed). If you don't chain, THEN he can chain.

 

Priority starts with the Turn Player, but must pass to the opponent after each activation. If the opponent does not chain, then they pass Priority back, allowing the first player to activate another effect. If they don't, chain starts resolving.

 

Since Starlight Road can only be activated in response to a card destroying 2+ of your cards, a Starlight Road cannot be chained to another Road, because Starlight Road doesn't destroy 2+ of your cards.

[BDKMRV]

Hah! I was right.

Alright thanks.

If your opponent Opresses Treeborn Frog, since it'd be still thte Standby Phase, could Treeborn Frog's effect attempt to SS it a second time?

Yep.

 

And sometimes the CPU will continue to Oppress it on WC11 until they don't have enough LP. Yay for stupid CPUs.
