If you only have 1 Life Point left can Solemn Judgment still be activated?

 

An interesting question that I don't quite have an answer for, since i could see it going both ways here.

 

A: The game may not allow you to because you cannot technically pay any life points, because half of 1 is 1/2 and rounded up is 1, so therefore you have paid absolutely nothing, making it not allowable

 

B: The game could allow you to activate it anyway, pay 1/2 a life point, then rounds it back up to 1 due to game mechanics meaning it did pay half, but game mechanics rounded it back up.

 

I'll test it in game sometime, perhaps reusing Solemn Judgments and attacking with Jirai Gumo to get my LP low enough by cutting it in half over and over and over x.o Can't think of any cards offhand that allow you to pay any number of Life Points (the ones in the OCG that i can think of only bring you down to 100 minimum or in multiples of 100.)

 

Edit: After testing in Tag Force 4, you can activate Solemn Judgment when you have 1 Life Point. While there are no visual cues like the -X Life Points displayed on the screen, You will pay 0.5 Life Points and it will round back up to 1 Life Point.

 

If you activate the effect of Jurrac Garim can while it is in Defence Postion after it has been destroyed can Jurrac Herra still be Special Summoned without interuppting Jurrac Garim's effect?

 

Two optional trigger effects whose Trigger activate at the same time. You can activate both of them and they will chain together.

On the Solemn Judgement case with only 1 Life Point, I don't believe you can because (bear with me) Golden Castle of Stromberg did not let Yugi discard 1/2 a card.

I hypothesize the game does not recognize 1/2 as a value of anything.

 

(If you can even get to exactly 1LP without Anime Ra, you should win anyway B) )

I'm only leaning No because you can't pay half a life Point because it'll round up and end up being 0 Life Points paid. Half a card is silly, but half Life Points is viable x.o I'll still probably test though i'm leaning to no.

Can i Use King of The Swamp aa a Material Monster for Super Alloy Beast Raptinus???

 

No. A "Fusion-Material Subsitute" can only be a Substitute for a specifically named material monster. "1 Gemini-Monster" is not a specific monster and cannot be used.

 

Can i fuse Evil heroes with super polymerization??

 

Evil Hero Fusions state "This card cannot be Special Summoned except with 'Dark Fusion.'" So of course, no, you cannot use Super Polymerization with those Fusions.

 

Can you Tribute Archlord Kriysta and another monster to Special Summon Lava Golem?

 

or does Kristya's negation effect stop that from happening?

 

You cannot perform a Special Summon so you cannot make an attempt to Special Summon. You cannot Special Summon Lava Golem even if Archlord Kristya would be removed as a result.

 

Titanial cannot negate Ultimate Bassball kids first effect right?

 

Ultimate Baseball Kids' first effect that gives it 1000 ATK for each FIRE monster is Continuous. It doesn't activate, so you can never chain to it.

Monarch vs Black Garden?

(Guess: Monarch wins, totally unaffected)

 

Depends on the Monarch, who controls Black Garden, and whether or not Black Garden is still on the field when it tries to resolve.

 

Monarchs with Optional Effects like Mobius and Kuraz will always be Chain Link 2 no matter who owns Black Garden

 

Monarchs with Mandatory Effects like Caius can be either Chain Link 1 or Chain Link 2 if you own Black Garden, or it will always be Chain Link 1 if it is your opponent's Black Garden. (unless you're doing some Tribute Summoning with Ultimate Offering during your Opponent's Battle Phase which then your Monarch would be Chain Link 2 then).

 

If any of the Chain Link 2 effects of any Monarch destroys Black Garden, then Black Garden's effect will not resolve and the monster's ATK remains the same and no tokens are Special Summoned. All others (Chain Link 1, or those that did not destroy Black Garden in a higher chain) will suffer the halved ATK.

 

Honest vs Injection Fairy Lily?

(Guess: Honest wins)

 

Depends who activates Honest or Injection Fairy Lily first. Basically, never chain an ATK gaining effect to Honest, meaning if they activate Honest first, do NOT activate Injection Fairy Lily. If you activate Injection Fairy Lily as Chain Link 1, then they probably will not activate Honest or else they'd only gain 400 ATK.

 

Injection Fairy Lily will usually have the upper hand in any battle against someone with Honest. Just as long as you don't chain Injection Fairy Lily to Honest, you'll be alright. (People usually will not activate Honest first in this situation so you should be safe.)

 

Can you chain Macro Cosmos to Honest, and what happens?

(Guess: Honest is removed from play, effect still kicks in)

 

You cannot activate Macro Cosmos during the Damage Step so you can never chain this to Honest.

 

Even if you could, sending Honest to the Graveyard is a cost and would already be in the Graveyard before you had the chance to activate Macro Cosmos.

If there are two Blackwing - Sirocco on the field and play both their effects to add the attack points to one of the Siroccos, how much would that be?

I think it's 6000, but my friend's brother says it's 8000.

 

It will only have 6000 ATK

 

The "itself" it refers to is the card targeted by Sirocco that will be gaining the ATK, not the Sirocco that is activating the effect.

This might be me completely mis-interpreting the Battle Phase, but I'd like some closure. I haven't named all cards involved since I want to know the theory, not the specifics.

 

My field

"Perfect Machine King" (3200 ATK), 1 other Machine-Type, a face-down destruction-negation card (see below)

 

Opponent's

"Ancient Sacred Wyvern" (3200 ATK)

 

 

My question is: My opponent's monster attacks and battles "PMK" and I activate this effect: "Activate only when a monster you control would be destroyed by battle. Tribute 1 other monster you control instead." (I realise this might not be an actual card, but bear with it). I tribute my other Machine-Type monster. What happens?

 

As in, has "PMK" already destroyed "ASW" by this point so the ATK-loss doesn't matter? Or does the ATK-loss mean "PMK" loses the battle and I get dealt 500 points of damage?

You would have had to have performed Damage Calculation to determine whether or not your monster would be destroyed during that battle. The ATK loss would not matter at the point.

Sure thing. It's rather easy to figure out from this example.

 

This hypothetical trap can only be activated when a monster would be destroyed in battle. This means that it activates AFTER Damage Calculation. Why? Because you can't be sure a monster would be destroyed in battle until after Damage Calculation.

 

The two monster's ATK is compared and determined to be a draw. Both monsters will be destroyed (under normal circumstances). Your Trap is activated at this time, tributing your other monster to spare PMK. Ancient Sacred still has battled with a 3200 monster and is destroyed. PMK's ATK then drops by 500 by its effect.

I have a Bottomless and a Torrential Tribute set and 1 Monster.

My opponent has a set card and no monsters.

It's there turn.

 

They special summon Cyber Dragon and I play Bottomless, but they play their set card Trap Stun.

 

Can I still chain Torrential Tribute to the summon?

Yes, the timing is still correct to activate Torrential Tribute.

At my locals, this was the play that was executed (but later refuted):

 

Opponent Summons Raiza, targetting one of my three facedowns. I activate Bottomless, then Scrapstorm in response to Bottomless. Many players at my locals agree that I couldn't do this because a player cannot activate 2 cards consecutively in the same Chain unless the second card relates directly to the first.

 

 

Are they correct?
