Yu-Gi-Oh! Rulings Questions


Recommended Posts

Does Kozaky's Self-Destruct Button activate on the field or in the graveyard?

 

It says to inflict damage to the player who destroyed it. If it was destroyed, it is no longer on the field. Only monsters that have been destroyed in battle have moments where they can activate on the field (Voltic Bicorn, TG Wonder Magician/Power Gladiator, Flip Effects, etc).

 

Cards like Dark Coffin and Kozaky's Self-Destruct Button cannot actually be activated. You do not chain them. They activate when they've been removed from the field.

I actually need a ruling for an anime card.

 

http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Neo_-_Signal

Normal Trap

"Activate only when a monster you control is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard. Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower "Neo-Spacian" monster from your hand or Deck."

 

Does this allow for battle destruction as well? I know some cards don't mysteriously...

I believe it was allowed to in the anime, but wording alone says "no", because it does not specifically say it can, and therefore cannot be used during the Damage Step. Cards like Rise of the Snake Deity and Soul Rope also have this issue.

Well, under Appearances it mentions Jaden used it in response to a card effect.

So looks like I have my answer

I use Phantom of Chaos to copy Doomcaliber Knight. When it tributes itself, does it negate a monster, or does it fizzle since it doesn't have Doomcaliber's effect in the grave?

 

It still negates the monster. The effect copied by Phantom of Chaos just has to activate on the field. Where it resolves is not important.

I activate DNA ???(The one that changes attribute), declaring, say FIRE.

I then equip scroll of bewitchment declaring something else.

What happens, and what happens vise-versa?

 

Also, does Water dragon affect things that would be 2 attribute, one of which is FIRE(Assuming yes)?

 

Whichever card was activated last is dominant. So Scroll of Bewitchment would be changing the Attribute. If Scroll leaves the field, DNA Transplant will alter the Attribute to the declared one. The only time any card counts as two Attribute is if it specifically says so, such as Electrum, LADD, and Dark Simorgh.

 

Water Dragon affects all FIRE and it affects all Pyro. If it's not actively a FIRE Attribute and/or a Pyro-Type, due to DNA Transplant/Surgery, then it's not affected.

I tribute summon Neptune by tributing HAD and Reaper on the nightmare/spirit reaper. I then equip something to it.

What happens?

 

I assume you copied the Reaper effect with Neptune.

 

Hardened Armed protects Neptune from being destroyed by card effects. Neptune will not self-destruct because it cannot be destroyed by card effects, even its own effect. This is the same as if you used HAD for an Earthbound Immortal. Even with no Field Spell, the Immortal can't die by its own effect.

Short question about Hand Destruction: I don't see any comma in the card text, that should mean that everything happens simultanously and Tender of the Laval Volcano would not miss the timing if sent to the Graveyard with that effect... correct?

 

It is not possible to add cards and remove cards from the hand simultaneously. Card Destruction, Morphing Jar, Hand Destruction, etc will discard/send, then draw, so Drawing will be the last thing to occur. Tender of the Laval Volcano will miss the timing.
