How come Painful Choice doesn't work with Dark Worlds in Wc2010?

 

What do you mean?

 

The cards sent are sent from the deck to the Graveyard, so Dark Worlds wouldn't work at all with Painful Choice.

 

If you're talking about a glitch, then I don't know.

How come Painful Choice doesn't work with Dark Worlds in Wc2010?

 

Read your own Dark World Cards: "Discarded from the Hand to the Graveyard", but this alone isn't why they don't work.

 

To start, Cards can only be discarded from Hand.

 

The cards used in "Painful Choice" are "picked up". There are not in the hand. Cards sent to the Graveyard this way are considered to have been sent from the Deck to the Graveyard. Due to this, cards like "Wulf, Lightsworn Beast" will activate.

 

Regardless of Painful Choice's poor choice of wording, the cards are not "discarded" since they are never in the hand; they are simply "sent from the Deck to the Graveyard", so they will not work for Dark Worlds or Fableds.

Can Koaki Meiru Guardian negate the effect of A,G. monsters that negate the activation of s/t when they declare an attack??

 

also, if my opp activates Short Circuit while i control one or several s/t can i chain with judgment of anubis to negate this??

1) No. Ancient Gears have Continuous Effects and do not start a chain, so Guardian cannot respond to them.

 

2) Based on Judgment's wording, no. It is worded "...Spell that includes the effect of destroying S/Ts", which Short Circuit does not say. Short Circuit destroys CARDS, and not specifically Spells or Traps. The fact it is going to destroy Spells/Traps does not qualify it to trigger Judgment of Anubis' activation conditions.

No. That effect is a Continuous Effect and cannot be chained to.

Short Circuit is a card that destroys all cards the opponent controls. All cards you control would include Spell and Trap cards you control. I don't see why you cannot.

Can Lyla, Lightsworn Sorceress call priority on her effect when Summoned?

[darkwolf777]

Can Lyla, Lightsworn Sorceress call priority on her effect when Summoned?

 

Yes, because it is an Ignition Effect.

[evilfusion]

Short Circuit is a card that destroys all cards the opponent controls. All cards you control would include Spell and Trap cards you control. I don't see why you cannot.

 

My reasoning is based on the wording of Judgment of Anubis. It states that the Spell it is negating "Includes the effect of destroying Spells or Traps". This suggests that the card in question SPECIFICALLY destroys Spells or Traps, such as Heavy Storm, Mystical Space Typhoon, etc, rather than having it destroy S/Ts as a consequence of its usual effect, like Short Circuit.

 

I cannot find a ruling to either confirm or deny. How many Spells exist that destroy "cards" that you could target an S/T for? Maybe there's a videogame to test the ruling.

I thought of that too. I couldn't really test it in game since it needs to be an "opponent's card's effect" to trigger Anubis, so i'd have to find some Batteryman or Des Frog deck (with Des Croaking). You could be right, but the effect of "destroying all cards" is an effect that "destroys spell and or trap cards", even if it doesn't explicitly say it, so I think it would work.

Let's say my opponent used Defenders Intersect, and flips Spear Cretin, then destroys it. Is his effect only negated during the moment he's flipped, or does it work because it's in the Graveyard, and it's effect would no longer be negates?

Since Spear Cretin's effect is a Flip Effect, it should be negated, even though its Trigger occurs when it's in the graveyard.

Spear Cretin is a FLIP effect monster. Its effect activates the moment it is flipped. Its FLIP effect grants it the Trigger Effect printed on the card.

 

If the FLIP effect gets negated, then it wont be able to Special Summon from the Graveyard when it is sent to the Graveyard.

 

If the FLIP effect is successful, then even if its negated after that, it'll activate in the Graveyard successfully (since it activates in the Graveyard).

 

By the effects of Defenders Intersect, Spear Cretin will be flipped face-up and negated. Then, Spear Cretin's FLIP effect will activate and resolve unsuccessfully.

Ok. Thanks to both of ya'. My friend is running three of these specifically to counter my Empty Jar deck. Told him that using cards to specifically target one person's deck is a loss of more useful cards he coulda' added, were I to change decks, making the card's effect obsolete to him.

 

Thanks again, though.

Is there a combo with Emperor Sem and 2 Delg the Dark Monarch?

[evilfusion]

I suppose there is.

 

Tribute Delg for Delg, use Sem's effect to return Delg to top of deck (opponent will do same), RFG 2 opposing cards, mill 2 opposing cards (including the card they returned). Next turn, do it again.

 

This does not seem like a good combo, though.

Well the reason 4 my question in the first place was for example when you activate let's say smashing ground to destroy a face-up monster and your opp chains with a My Body as a Shield you can chain judgment of anubis to negate and destroy My body as a shield which is attempting to destroy a spell you control so i figured it could be the same for cards like short circuit...

If Judgment can negate My Body as a Shield in response to a Spell, then it should work with Short Circuit.

if i have light imprisoning mirror activated can my cyber end dragon still keep its piercing damage and also could the calculator gain atk??

[darkwolf777]

Yes, because both are Continuous Effects and do not activate.

Vairon Equips state:

"If this face-up card is sent to the Graveyard, you can add 1 “Vairon” Spell Card from your Deck to your hand."

 

Vairon Element states:

"When a face-up “Vairon” Equip Card(s) you control is destroyed, you can Special Summon “Vairon” Tuner monsters from your Deck up to the number of Equip Cards destroyed."

 

Imaginary card states:

"Once per turn, you can destroy 1 "Vairon" Equip Card to draw 1 card"

 

Let's say that I have all 3 cards on the field. I use the effect of imaginary card to destroy Vairon equip. Can I now activate effects of both equip and Element? If not, how to reword the effect of imaginary card to make them work?

With the way your card is written, "Destroy 1 "Vairon" Equip" is a cost and it would have the last action being "Draw 1 card". Both cards would miss the timing as both the Vairon Equip and Vairon Element are optional effects and their triggers must be the last thing to happen.

 

Change it to "You can destroy 1 "Vairon" Equip Card and draw 1 card." then yes, you could activate both of them and they would chain together.

What about Kuraz in place of imaginary card? If I choose his draw effect?

[darkwolf777]

You will miss the timing. Kuraz destroys the cards first (end of sentence). Then players Draw cards. Therefore, the last thing to happen is Drawing.

[.Nu-13]

So if I don't draw, it will work?
