Yu-Gi-Oh! Rulings Questions


Recommended Posts

if i atack directly with spirit reaper and the only card in their hand is gorz, whats the turn of events with their resolving effects?

 

Both of their effects activate at the same time (The timing for "attacking directly successfully" and "taking battle damage" is the same, which is immediately after Damage Calculation)

 

Chain Link 1 - Spirit Reaper (Turn Player's Mandatory Trigger Effect).

Chain Link 2 - Gorz (Opponent's Optional Trigger Effect.)

 

Resolving...

 

Chain Link 2 - Gorz is Special Summoned with an Emissary of Darkness token.

Chain Link 1 - Spirit Reaper resolves and since your opponent has no hand left, nothing can be discarded.

You mean something like Lonefire Blossom?

 

If Lonefire Blossom activates its effect and Tributes itself, when resolving, Raiho will still insist your opponent discard. If they don't, Lonefire's effect is negated.

 

The wording "your opponent controls" is not the important part. It just means it's not YOUR effect monster that will force your opponent to discard. So long as the Effect monster "activates", Raiho will force a discard or risk negation. This includes effects like Mystic Tomato, Effect Veiler, Gorz, JD, etc.

So would the ruling be any different in the TCG? The OCG says "monster your opponent controls", whereas the TCG version says "your opponent's Effect Monster on the field".

I would think that, due to the way the English version is worded, cards like Mystic Tomato and Effect Veiler would be ignored by Raiho's effect. But it also raises the question of whether or not Lonefire Blossom would be affected. Does the difference in wording change anything?

 

Due to the wording in English, I would have to lean towards Griffin-'s explanation...

Oh...then never mind. It does has to be on the field. My mistake. I just re-read the text.

 

Only monsters that resolve on the field are affected. Lonefire Tributing itself is unaffected, but Lonefire Tributing a different Plant is. Effect Veiler and Tomato do not apply, as they resolve in the graveyard.

Does Trap Stun make Trap Monsters stop being treated as Monsters?

If it does, does it last for 1 turn or do they somehow get screwed?

If were for 1 turn, do they count as "Special Summoned" again?

 

They're screwed. They return to the spell/trap zone as continuous traps with no effect and remain that way even after the effect of Trap Stun's effect is over.

Yes.

 

They're screwed

 

No. They only get Special Summoned at activation. They're already active, but no longer monsters.

Can I use Solem Warning to negate my opponent's Gateway of the Six? My locals is split on this at the moment, some saying no because when you activate it no special summon effect is activated, but some say yes because warning says it negates any card that "includes" special summoning in its effect.

No, you cannot use Solemn Warning to negate the activation of Gateway of the Six from the hand.

 

You also cannot use Solemn Warning to negate the 6 Bishido Counter effect of Gateway of the Six.

 

i'm a bit confused about the card "Toll" does it activate every time the player declares an attack, or is it once, i' saying every time, but i want clarification

 

Each player must pay 500 Life Points to declare an attack.

 

Toll's effect is Continuous and doesn't activate per se (i.e. It doesn't create a Chain Link).

 

The card simply says to pay when you declare an attack, so yes, this means in order to say "I attack your X with my Y", you must pay 500 Life Points, each and every time.

Can I use the Special Summon effect of Black Garden with no plants on the field if the monster that would be Special Summoned is 0 ATK?

According to lolwiki, the "destroy this card and all Plants" part is not a cost, so I don't know.. I have the feeling that not but want to be sure..

No. Destroying no monsters is not the same as destroying monsters with no ATK.

 

At least one plant monster must be destroyed, as the ATK of the monster you target to Special Summon depends on the total ATK of the plants on the field. If you destroy plants whose combined ATK is 0, you can Special Summon a 0 ATK monster.

 

When you activate the effect of Black Garden, the ATK of all plants on the field are added and you select a monster with ATK equal to that sum. If the combined ATK changes before the effect resolves, the target is now invalid and will not be SSed, but Garden and all plants will still be destroyed. Therefore, a Player must control a Plant for you to use Black Garden's effect. You also must have a monster in your Graveyard that can be selected by the effect.
