Vayu + Armor Master in grave. Can I make Silverwind with just those two even though he requires 2 non-Tuners?

 

I can in TF, just wondering if it happens IRL. Also, if it does, please explain why.

You can. Vayu's effect is:

 

If this card is face-up on the field, you cannot use it for a Synchro Summon. If this card is in your Graveyard, you can remove from play this card plus 1 non-Tuner "Blackwing" monster in your Graveyard, and Special Summon 1 "Blackwing" Synchro Monster from your Extra Deck whose Level equals the total Levels of the removed monsters. The effect(s) of that Synchro Monster is negated.

 

It's not a Synchro Summon, so you don't need the requirements. This in mind, you also couldn't revive a Synchro Monster that was Summoned with Vayu's effect.

If Scrap Dragon is destroyed by Solemn Judgment or Solemn Warning, does it still get its effect to SS a Scrap?

 

Yes. As with the Amazoness Village question, Scrap Dragon is destroyed by a card effect (in this case Solemn Judgment or Solemn Warning) so its effect will activate if it is sent to the Graveyard. Being successfully summoned or being destroyed on the field is not a requirement for its activation.

If you Solemn Warning Scrap Dragon's effect (the Special Summon one)

does it get destroyed thus resulting in another Special Summon? or does the entire effect fizzle.

 

Monsters in the Graveyard/Remove from Game cannot be destroyed, so you wouldn't get its effect again. Also, Scrap Dragon activated in the Graveyard where it would be "negated and destroyed". It wouldn't exactly be "sent to the Graveyard" if it were already inside it :3c

What;s the difference between "if" and "when"?

 

In an effect, "If" represents a "Condition" for Activation. "When" represent a "Timing" for activation.

 

Effects can be made up of the following format: "Activation Condition", "Timing", "Resolution Condition", "Effect". The following made up effect contains all four parts:

 

"If this card was Normal Summoned this turn, during the End Phase of the turn, If you have no cards in your hand, destroy all monsters your opponent controls."

 

1) Condition for Activation: If it was Normal Summoned this turn.

2) Timing for Activation: During the End Phase of this turn.

3) Condition for Resolution: If you have no cards in your hand

4) Effect: Destroy all monsters your opponent controls.

 

In order to activate the desired effect at the "Timing For Activation", the "Condition for Activation" must be true by that point in time. In order to resolve successfully, the "Condition for Resolution" must be correct at resolution. If this card were to activate but another card were chained that "added a card to my hand" where the "Condition for Resolution" were no longer true, the effect would fail.

 

Now Moon Dragon Quilla is somewhat unique in Yugioh as it is the only Trigger Effect so far (that I can think of) that does not have a timing parameter.

 

Moon Dragon Quilla States: "If this card on the field is destroyed, you can Special Summon 1 "Sun Dragon Inti" from your Graveyard.":

 

1) Condition for Activation: If this card on the field is destroyed.

2) Timing for Activation: None

3) Condition for Resolution: None

4) Effect: You can Special Summon 1 "Sun Dragon Inti" from your Graveyard.

 

Moon Dragon Quilla has an "Activation Condition" and an "Effect", but there is no "Timing" nor "Effect Condition" parameter. Without a "Timing" defined by the card text, the effect will activate during the next possible opportunity. This means that it CANNOT miss the timing.

 

Hopefully that explains it :o

What cards can actually search The Wicked Avatar? Yeah, I know "lolWickedGods", but QuickAvatar with a Lockdown theme is pretty fun, despite barely any competitive potential, if there is.

 

Again, Wicked Avatar searchers?

 

Nothing more than:

 

Dump from deck to grave with Foolish Burial. Return to hand with something like Monster Reincarnation (preferably discard Dandylion).

 

comes to my mind.

Rekindling doesn't work when Necrovalley is on the field, right?

Because of the new ruling?

 

With its newest errata, cards in the Graveyard are unaffected by card effects other than their own effects, which would be akin to the OCG ruling. Rekindling can still be activated, and it'll attempt to Special Summon as many as possible but any attempts would be in vain as the cards would be unaffected. "As many as it can" returns 0 valid monsters and Special Summons nothing.

 

It should never have worked even with the old wording, but it very clearly doesn't now.

 

It would've worked with the old ruling because Rekindling does not target. It would not work anymore.

If I Summon "Royal Swamp Eel" with "Superancient Deepsea King Coelacanth", can I use "Royal Swamp Eel" and a non-Fish-Type non-Tuner Monster to Synchro?

 

Nope. Royal Swamp Eel's text is a condition, not an effect.

 

But that really shouldn't matter if you're running SDKC and Royal Swamp Eel.

How does Changing Destiny work?

 

"Activate only when an opponent's monster declares an attack. Negate the attack and change it to Defense Position. It cannot change its battle position while it is face-up on the field. Then, your opponent selects and applies 1 of these effects: * Gain Life Points equal to half the ATK of the monster whose attack was negated. * Inflict damage to your opponent equal to half the ATK of the monster whose attack was negated. "

 

It says your opponent selects AND applies the effect. So does that mean the user of Changing Destiny gets the burn and the opponent gets the life? Or is it vice versa?

It means your opponent will gain the life or you take the burn.

 

Yes, the card is crap.
