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.

 

 

 

OK, i got that, now back to the Original Question: do i get to use its effect to special summon a dragon from the grave while necrovalley is activated???

My opponent plays Magical Dimension.

Do I chain when the card is activated or when the monster is tributed?

 

If I play E-Con's tributing effect on FL Light, does FL Light get her effect?

 

And also I summon BW Blizzard and have Black Whirlwind out.

 

Blizzard is chain 1

My opponent does not respond to the chain

Whirlwind is chain 2

 

Chain resolves with Whirlwind's adding effect

Blizzards effect resolves and specials a Bora/Shura to the field.

 

Can my opponent play Bottomless or TT?

You can chain to Magical Dimension when it is activated. The Tribute is not a cost.

 

Enemy Controller's Tribute is a cost. Fortune Lady Light must be removed by an effect. HOWEVER- Even if you could, Fortune Lady Light misses the timing since the last event in resolution is not removing Light from the field, but gaining control of an opposing monster.

Well, in the TCG, It states that Necrovalley can only negate cards that Target cards in the Graveyard. Since Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon doesn't target, it would not be negated by Necrovalley if you choose to Special Summon from the Graveyard.

 

As of the release of Structure Deck: Marik, Necrovalley's 5th Errata states: All "Gravekeeper's" monsters gain 500 ATK and DEF. Cards in either player's Graveyard cannot be removed from play. Cards in either player's Graveyard cannot be affected by card effects, except for their own effects. Because of this chance, Necrovalley should follow the OCG rulings from now on.

 

in the OCG, Necrovalley negates cards that affect another card in the Graveyard. In the OCG, you will still be allowed to Special Summon from the Hand and its effect wont be negated by Necrovalley that way.

 

And also I summon BW Blizzard and have Black Whirlwind out.

To Note, Your opponent CANNOT respond between Blizzard and Whirlwind. Trigger Effects are lowest in the chain before either player can activate anything else.

 

With the way you're resolving your chain, there are two places where your opponent can activate Torrential Tribute/Bottomless Trap Hole.

 

Chance #1

The first opportunity is as Chain Link 3 of your chain (activating in response to BW - Blizzard being Normal Summoned, although since Blizzard only has 1300 ATK, this only applies to Torrential Tribute).

 

The chain would look like:

 

Chain Link 1 - BW - Blizzard

Chain Link 2 - Black Whirlwind

Chain Link 3 - Torrential Tribute

 

In this case, Torrential Tribute destroys all monsters on the field first, then Black Whirlwind fails because the monster that was Normal Summoned (BW - Blizzard) is not Face-Up on the field anymore, then BW - Blizzard Special Summons 1 Monster in Defense Position.

 

Chance #2

The second opportunity is after your BW - Blizzard resolves and Special Summons a monster in Defense Position. Because BW - Blizzard is Chain Link 1, according to your choice, the last thing to resolve in your chain is the Special Summon of a monster. Torrential Tribute/Bottomless Trap Hole can be activated at that time.

Yes, you can Bottomless Shura if it's summoned by Blizzard's effect.

 

No, Super Poly isn't broken. Its uses are very limited, even if all the generic Hero Fusions are released. It's powerful, but to truly take advantage of its effect, you either need to devote your deck to Fusion and De-Fusion shenanigans or get lucky with your opponent playing certain cards. With the Extra Deck presently limited to 15 cards, Super Polymerization remains with limited versatility.

 

You can use Super Poly with almost any Fusion monster, really, so long as all the Materials are on the field. Gaia and Absolute Zero are the most consistent, but you might be able to pull off Cyber Twin, Draco-equites, Ultimate Axon Kicker, or just use it with Fusion and Defusion for a bunch of attacks.

If my opponent controls Consecrated Light and i have a face-down Gravekeeper's Spy (set last turn)

can i Flip Summon it and Special Summon a GK from my Deck.

i'm unsure because it's not confirmed whether the monster summoned from the Deck will be DARK..

 

You are allowed to Special Summon a Gravekeeper, but you cannot choose a DARK Attribute Gravekeeper to Special Summon. Since Consecrated Light prevents the Special Summon of DARK monsters, DARK Monsters are no longer valid targets to be Special Summoned. The only non-DARK Gravekeeper is Gravekeeper's Commandant (which is EARTH), but with 1600 ATK is not a valid target for Gravekeeper's Spy.

 

In this case, you can flip summon Gravekeeper's Spy and its effect will activate (since FLIP effects are mandatory), but with no valid targets, the effect of Gravekeeper's Spy will fail (You'd still have to shuffle your deck for searching). Since you have no valid targets on a mandatory effect such as this, your opponent can look at you Deck to verify that you have no valid targets.

Actually, ignore my last post, you can't special summon a dragon from the graveyard with REDMD's effect if Necrovalley is on the field.

 

In the OCG, correct.

 

In the TCG, REDMD does not target nor does its effect require removing cards from the Graveyard. REDMD will not be negated by Necrovalley in the TCG.

 

I answered the question twice before, but here is the latest response.

Read the latest errata.

 

Oh nice, well that's fantastic :D

 

5th Errata Lore: SDMA-EN025: All "Gravekeeper's" monsters gain 500 ATK and DEF. Cards in either player's Graveyard cannot be removed from play. Cards in either player's Graveyard cannot be affected by card effects, except for their own effects.

 

In this case, it will follow the OCG rules and correct, you cannot choose a monster in the Graveyard to Special Summon.

 

I should go put a disclaimer on that post then~
