Yu-Gi-Oh! Rulings Questions

[Chaos Dralcax]

Suppose Power Bond keeps you from Normal Summoning. Will Ultimate Offering allow you to Normal Summon?

[Ieyasu Tokugawa]

Just like how Pot of Duality stops you from using Monster Reborn, a card that stops Normal Summons stops Ultimate offering.

[Ieyasu Tokugawa]

Alright, I'm gonna name a situation and see if I'm right.

 

I have Wattgiraffe out and attack directly. Once Giraffe deals it's battle Damage, it's effect activates as chain link 1 since it's mandatory. At this time, the opponent decides to use the Gorz in his hand (assuming he has no cards on the field), since both monsters have the exact same timing this is allowed to happen.

 

Now then, since Giraffe hasn't fully resolved yet, Gorz is allowed to activate and Special Summon itself. Afterwards, Giraffe resolves, then Gorz's second effect would usually activate at this time. However, since Giraffe's effect prevents other effects from activating, Gorz would not be able to activate again and would not summon the token.

 

Am I correct?

Sounds good to me.

A legality question;

If I were to order one of the Japanese-Only Sleeves like the PTD sleeves, would I be allowed to use them in tournaments?

[.Nu-13]

I'm pretty sure you can use any kind of sleeves, although I might be wrong

[Ieyasu Tokugawa]

Sleeves should have no effect on legality so long as they are uniform in the main deck. The only problem would be using OCG cards in TCG, since they have a different background.

[Airride]

Alright, thanks.

[Expelsword]

I remember I asked this a long time ago, but are tokens legal targets for Compulsory Evacuation Device or Book of Moon?

[Ieyasu Tokugawa]

Tokens can be hit by Compulsory, and they'll just disappear.

 

However, tokens cannot be flipped face-down by any means necessary, so you cannot target them with Book of Moon and will be unaffected by Book of Eclipse.

Can I SS the monster I discard with Zombie Master?

[.Nu-13]

Yes, you can, but remember that you can't activate Zombie Master's effect without any targets in Grave to begin with. So you can't just summon Master on turn 1, discard PSZ and summon it. You must have another Level 4 or lower Zombie.

[Welche the crab]

Ok and if I discard then SS Goblin Zombie do I get a search?

[Ieyasu Tokugawa]

No because Goblin Zombie needs to be sent from field to graveyard to get the search.

[.Nu-13]

Last time I checked, Goblin Zombie says "Sent from field"

 

EDIT: Ninja'd

[Ieyasu Tokugawa]

[Welche the crab]

Oh right. I forgot that.

I have Crystal Beast Rainbow Dash equipped with Horn Of The Phantom Beast. When it's destroyed, does Horn go to the Graveyard before or after I choose to put the monster in the Spell/Trap Zone?

[evilfusion]

CBs go to the S/T zone at the time they would normally be sent to the Graveyard. Horn only goes to the Graveyard because the equipped monster disappears. Therefore, it goes AFTER the CB goes to the S/T zone/Graveyard.

[darkwolf777]

I have Crystal Beast Rainbow Dash equipped with Horn Of The Phantom Beast. When it's destroyed, does Horn go to the Graveyard before or after I choose to put the monster in the Spell/Trap Zone?

 

Normally, a monster that is destroyed is sent to the Graveyard, and then the Equip Card is destroyed because it no longer has a valid target. While happening simultaneously (as the self-destruction of the equip is Continuous), the monster in this case would've been sent to the Graveyard first.

 

In your case, You choose to place it in the Spell/Trap Card Zone first. If you don't have room because that Horn of the Phantom Beast is taking your 5th Spell/Trap card slot, you wont be able to turn the Crystal Beast into a Continuous Spell card.

The usual bunch of questions...

 

1) I control Black Garden and a Tytannial, my opponent Tribute Summons Caius, targeting Tytannial. As a mandatory Trigger Effect, this should take Chain Link 1. Black Garden should chain to it, being a mandatory effect as well, thus Chain Link 2 (or does it form it's own chain?). Can I even negate Caius with Tytannial (Tributing itself, since I think I can't tribute the newly Summoned Token) or do I "miss the timing" or something similar?

2) If 2 Naturia Cliff, Botanical Girl or similar I control are sent simultanously to the Graveyard (Dark Hole), does one miss the timing? Don't they just, I don't know, form a chain or something? That guy on DN (*lolDN*) kept insisting that I can't get 2 monsters with 2 Botanical Girls, which confused me a little... was I wrong all this time?

[.Nu-13]

Does Goblindbergh cause Gadgets to miss the timing?

1) Black Garden and Caius activate on the same chain. You are correct that Caius (turn Player mandatory) is Link 1, and Garden (opponent mandatory) is Link 2. Tytannial cannot chain to Caius, as it must respond directly to the targeting effect, which is not possible due to the Chain Link stacking. Tytannial may not respond.

 

2) They will activate simultaneously and go on the same chain, both Link 1 and Link 2. The last thing to resolve was the two monsters going to the Graveyard. There is nothing interfering with their activations.

 

@Noel: I believe yes, Gadgets will miss the timing because the last thing to resolve was Goblinbergh going to defense, not the Gadget being Summoned.

Both Caius and Black Garden would both activate and form a chain with each other.

 

If Caius is Chain Link #1, and Black Garden is Chain Link #2, then Tytannial cannot activate to stop Caius. Tytannial must chain directly to the effect that targets a card on t he field.

 

2) If 2 Naturia Cliff, Botanical Girl or similar I control are sent simultanously to the Graveyard (Dark Hole), does one miss the timing? Don't they just, I don't know, form a chain or something?

Neither would miss the timing. They would chain together.

 

Does Goblindbergh cause Gadgets to miss the timing?

 

It is assumed that Goblindbergh shifts itself into Defense Position after it successfully Special Summons a monster. Since the last thing to happen when resolving the effect is the part that attempts to shift it into Defense Position, rather than the Summon of the Gadget, the Gadget then would miss the timing.

[Spoon]

Both Caius and Black Garden would both activate and form a chain with each other.

 

If Caius is Chain Link #1, and Black Garden is Chain Link #2, then Tytannial cannot activate to stop Caius. Tytannial must chain directly to the effect that targets a card on t he field.

 

Neither would miss the timing. They would chain together.

Both as expected, thanks to both of you.

 

Another thing that bothered me, and I couldn't find anything about it on the Wiki:

World Tree just says "You can remove Flower Counters to activate this card's effects."

It doesn't say from where. If I control 2 World Trees, can I remove the Counters from either of those, or can one World Tree only use its own Counters?
