Yu-Gi-Oh! Rulings Questions

You mean "teammate", right?

[Manjoume Thunder]

Lol. I misread. Sorry.

 

Anyway, you and your teammate share the same field and the same effects. So Reckless should count 1 of your turns and one of your teammate's.

 

Unless you are playing by rules which are different than the video game ones.

I don't get why this topic is so buggy that it doesn't create a new page right away when it needs to >_>;

If you play by the Tag Team rules that WC09 does (share field, RFG, and Grave, but hands, decks and Extra Decks are dependant on turn player) Reckless would skip one of each, the same way Future Fusion/Gold Sarcophagus counts one of each player's Standby Phase.

 

However, tag team rules by anime standards (everyone's fields and cards are their own, just duelists are on the same team) would make Reckless Greed only affect you.

Question for my friend's deck.

 

He has Black Whirlwind on the field and summons Blackwing - Ghilbi the Searing Wind.

 

Black Whirlwind activates because a "Blackwing" monster was summoned.

 

Here's the question :

 

Can you make Blackwing - Ghilbi the Searing Wind's effect Chain Link 2 when Black Whirlwind activates?

No, you cannot call Priority at this time because Black Whirlwind activated. Also, Ignition Effects are Spell Speed 1 and cannot chain to another card.

[BDKMRV]

No, you cannot call Priority at this time because Black Whirlwind activated. Ignition Effects are Spell Speed 1 and cannot add to a chain also.

 

Alright I thought so. lol

My Dragunity Arms Laevatein is equipped with Light and Darkness Dragon. Now, when Arms is destroyed,

LaDD activates and can summon Laeavtein back and he can re-equip LaDD; that's the premise of the Laevatein Loop.

Now, if he was tributed by say, Spiritual Wind Art - Miyabi, would LaDD become chain link 2? Meaning if I picked Laevatein

to summon, he would miss the timing to equip LaDD since it's optional?

[evilfusion]

I believe it would play out in this way:

 

Spiritual Wind Art activates, tributes Dragunity as the cost (LADD equip destroyed) and targets the opponent's card. Opponent offered chance to chain. If he/she does not, Wind Art resolves and spins the card.

 

Then, LADD's mandatory effect activates, nuking your field and reviving Dragunity, who then equips LADD.

 

I think that a mandatory trigger effect like Sangan and LADD's is Spell Speed 1, which is why it can't join Wind Art in a chain. I might be wrong on that though.

@Tag Team discussion:

Provided, we use the anime's logic, your team-mate's turn is also treated as your opponent's turn, though, you cannot attack him.

As I'm sure in the past they have played the game like so, and it even continues in teh Battle Royale mode.

Can I activate Expressroid's effect if there's only 1 roid in grave?

 

EDIT: nvm, I got the answer.

Majestic Star Dragon

 

There's a ruling that says I cannot apply Continuous Effects as MSD's

 

does this mean I cannot NEGATE them?

You can negate a monster's Continuous Effect if you want. There's nothing against that.

 

Choosing to "activate its effect if it can be activated" is optional and separate from the "Negate 1 Monster's Effect" effect. Even if you negated a monster whose effect COULD be activated, you do not have to activate it.

 

The problem in regards to Continuous Effects being used as Majestic Star Dragon's effect is that Continuous Effects do not activate, so you cannot apply "If the negated effect can be activated...".

Can Stardust Dragon/Assault mode negate Destiny Hero - Plasma?

[evilfusion]

Can Stardust Dragon/Assault mode negate Destiny Hero - Plasma?

 

Yes. When Plasma activates its effect, SD/AM can Tribute itself to negate the effect. Since it is no longer on the field, Plasma is not able to negate SD/AM's monster effect. The same rulings apply to Skill Drain. You can activate effects and pay the costs, in this case, Tributing, but if the monster is still on the field when the effect resolves, it will be negated by Plasma/Skill Drain. Stardust and SD/AM resolve while in the grave.

Why does Vayu get by Royal Oppression?

[darkwolf777]

Why does Vayu get by Royal Oppression?

 

Vayu can be negated by Royal Oppression, but the user can simply reactivate Vayu as many times as needed.

 

The reason for this is that the effect uses the conjunction "and" instead of the word "to" which usually signifies a cost. Therefore, "you can remove from play this card plus 1 non-Tuner "Blackwing" monster in your Graveyard" is an effect, not a cost of Vayu. Therefore, Vayu is not removed from play unless its effect is successful. If it is negated, It will stay in the Graveyard, where the user can activate it again and again until it is no longer negated.

Oh I see. So it can be negated, but it stays in the grave.

Does the other monster get removed?

[darkwolf777]

Does the other monster get removed?

 

No. That monster will also stay in the Graveyard. Remember, it is not a cost to remove any of the monsters, it is an effect. The effect must be successful before any monsters are removed.

[BDKMRV]

No. That monster will also stay in the Graveyard. Remember, it is not a cost to remove any of the monsters, it is an effect. The effect must be successful before any monsters are removed.

 

Oh ok. Got it! Thanks.

If Skill Drain is on the field, and Blazewing Butterfly loses it's effect that makes it being treated as a Normal monster, can it activate it's effect (thus being removed from the field and resolving at the graveyard, where Skill Drain cannot get it)?

 

EDIT: Sorry, I noticed Skill Drain says "effect monsters", so if skill drain is activated while butterfly is on the field, butterfly will be unafected... but what if I summon Butterfly when SD is already on the field?

[byak]

Normal Gemini Monsters have their effects negated, and are treated as Effect Monsters. They do not gain their effects that are gained when Gemini Summoned. You cannot Gemini Summon such a monster.

If i declare an attack against Neo-Spacian Grand Mole with a Gladiator Beast monster and my opponent chooses to activate the effect, if i activate my War Chariot, does the attack go through as Grand Mole no longer exists or does the entire battle fizzle?

If you negate and destroy Neo-Spacian Grand Mole with War Chariot, the battle ends. No Damage Calculation occurs since the target is gone, your GB monster is considered to have declared an attack, and your GB monster will NOT be considered to have "attacked or been attacked", and therefore cannot activate its swapping effect at the end of the Battle Phase.
