Yes, unless for some reason it has an effect that says otherwise. Some cards, such as Morphtronic Videon and Ben-Kei get advantages for every Equip card on them.

 

However, you can only equip one Union monster at a time to a monster, and most cards like Relinquished and Destiny Hero-Plasma limit the number of opposing monsters they can equip to themselves, but these effects do not limit Equip Spells.

If i synchro summon BRD and activate its effect while Machina Fortress is equiped with Machina Gearframe does fortress get destroyed i think not because BRD destroys all cards at the same time so Gearframe would not be able to protect it

 

Machina Fortress is safe. Gearframe is able to protect Fortress even if it's being destroyed at the same time.

Gearframe will protect it. I believe I answered this question not too far back x.o;

 

This isn't the same as with the Six Samurai monsters who cannot protect each other if they would all be destroyed.

 

The main difference between Six Samurai and Union Monsters is that the Union Monsters are MANDATORY sacrifices, while Six Samurais are OPTIONAL.

 

You might be thinking "Well, so what if its optional, if it can work when its mandatory, it should work when its optional too." Well, in this situation, this creates an interesting effect here.

 

In a Union Monster's case, you MUST destroy this card instead. This creates a unique status to the equipped monster where "The equipped monster CANNOT be destroyed". Because of this, When a full wipe is going to destroy the field, the equipped monster, thanks to the Union Monster, will not be destroyed because it cannot be destroyed. This is because it is safeguarded by the Union Monster and will be protected even if the Union Monster would be destroyed too.

 

In the Six Samurais case, protecting one another is optional. When the destruction of multiple Six Samurais come into play, none of them have the status of "This monster cannot be destroyed". All the Six Samurai monsters can be destroyed. In this case, you cannot sacrifice another Six Samurai who is already being destroyed to protect another Six Samurai who is being destroyed.

Since Machina Fortress' summon does not start a chain, I believe it is the same type of Special Summon as Cyber Dragon, so Solemn Judgment and Solemn Warning should both work on it.

 

You cannot negate Gorz with Solemn Judgment, but you can with Solemn Warning. This is because Gorz is summoned during the resolution of its EFFECT, and Judgment cannot counter Monster Effects, whereas Warning can. This is true for both instances of Gorz's effect.

Just keep in mind:

 

Solemn Judgment can negate Special Summons so long that it isn't due to the effect of another card. This is because it will miss the timing. Remember that the timing to negate a Summon is BEFORE the Summon is successful. If a card's effect that Special Summons resolves successfully, then that means the Special Summon is also successful. If it is an inherent Special Summon then yes, Solemn Judgment can negate it. Take Cyber Dragon, an inherent Special Summon, and Gorz, which Special Summons due to his effect.

 

Solemn Judgment can negate Cyber Dragon (because Solemn Judgment negates a Special Summon).

Solemn Judgment cannot negate Gorz (because Gorz Special Summons through an Effect. The timing to negate Gorz with Solemn Judgment would be during the resolution of Gorz's effect. Because you cannot activate new cards while another chain is resolving, you would not be able to activate Solemn Judgment when the time comes during Gorz's resolution.)

 

As for Solemn Warning...

 

Solemn Warning can negate Cyber Dragon (because of the "Negate the Summon of a Monster" clause).

Solemn Warning can negate Gorz (because of the "negate the activation of a monster's effect that Special Summons a monster" clause).

Since were talking about Solemn Judgment, can it negate Stardust's & SDDAM effect special summoning from the grave?

 

No. As mentioned previously, Solemn Judgment cannot negate a Special Summon that occurs due to the resolution of a card's effect. Stardust Dragon and its Assault Mode's effect that Special Summons itself is a Trigger Effect. It activates and resolves and therefore Solemn Judgment will miss the timing during their effect's resolution.

If i have Imperial Iron Wall face-up and my opp later on activates Macro-cosmos or dimensional fissure or even summons B of Radiance would cards be removed from play??

 

No, because cards cannot be removed from play due to Imperial Iron Wall. They would end up in the Graveyard.

 

and also if i have IIW active and i activate PSZombie effect to special summon it from the grave is it removed from the field or just sent to the grave??

 

Since it cannot be removed from play due to Imperial Iron Wall, it will end up in the Graveyard as well.

1- No. Imperial Iron Wall stops cards from being removed from play. Macro, Banisher, etc are effects that remove from play, and Imperial Iron Wall stops their effects from doing anything. So where cards like Macro would RFG cards sent to the graveyard, they are sent to the graveyard as normal.

 

2- It will be sent to the graveyard because it cannot be removed from play.

If I attack with Flamvell Firedog and hit Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter, or something else that flips and destroys it, can I still search?

 

No. Flamvell Firedog's trigger is "When this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle and is sent to the Graveyard". This effect would activate when Ryko is sent to the Graveyard at the end of the Damage Step.

 

Ryko's flip effect activates and resolves during the Damage Step, before it is sent to the Graveyard.

 

If Ryko destroys Flamvell Firedog with its effect, then Flamvell Firedog was will not be face-up on the field when the second part of the condition "and sent to the Graveyard" occurs. Therefore, the Trigger condition is never completely satisfied, so Flamvell Firedog isn't triggered and you do not get to search your deck.

 

Flamevell Firedog must be face up on the field after the monster it destroys by battle is sent to the Graveyard in order for its effect to activate.

 

Can Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode negate the effects of Koa'ki Meirus which require a reveal/Iron Core?

 

No. Maintenance Costs are not effects. They do not activate (so you couldn't chain Stardust Dragon) nor can they be negated by cards like Skill Drain. They cannot be negated/prevented except by cards that specifically prevent maintenance costs (like Pandemonium in regards to Archfiends).

in the ruling of RedEyes Darkness Metal Dragon it says its effect doesnt target soo should i be able to special summon a dragon from the graveyard while necrovalley is activated...

 

Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon's effect that Special Summons a Dragon-type Monster does not target the Dragon-type monster that will be summoned.

 

An interesting bit of information: You cannot target cards in the Hand.

 

Because you cannot target a card in the Hand, an effect which can do something to the Graveyard or the Hand cannot target either (it cannot sometimes target and other times not target).

 

See cards like "Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon", "Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier", "Dragon Ice", etc for cards that may seemingly target, but since they include the hand does not.

 

also can i chain necro gardna's effect to my opp activation of Forbidden Graveyard???

 

Yes, you can.
