Yu-Gi-Oh! Rulings Questions


Recommended Posts

I use Laval Forest Sprite and Lavalval Dragon to Synchro Summon Laval Stannon while I control Tech Genus Hyper Librarian. What happens?

 

My guess is that Librarian happens first, being continuous, then Stannon discards, then Sprite ups his power, right?

 

Also that Sprite's boost occurs when it is sent to the graveyard and is not modified if the number of Lavals in my graveyard changes during the turn?

Librarian activates first, being continuous (so activates isn't the right word but yeah) so you draw.

 

Then, Stannon and Sprite form a chain, both being mandatory.

Actually, Librarian is a mandatory Trigger Effect that only activates and resolves while faceup.

 

The proper way to resolve the chain in the TCG is this:

 

-Chain Link 1: Forest Sprite (it was triggered first by being sent to the Graveyard before the Synchro Summon was complete)

-Chain Link 2: Your choice of Librarian or Stennon

-Chain Link 3: The other Synchro

 

In the OCG, you get to stack the three however you wish.

So, it is a legal move to Synchro Stannon, Draw for Librarian, Discard with Stannon, and then assess power for Sprite?

 

Also, is Sprite a one time thing?

 

You resolve the chain in the sense that Librarian is the 3rd link, then yes.

 

Sprite activates every time its effect meets the conditions, you can bring it back and re-use it as often as you want for its effect to work again.

If an opponent's monster is equipped with Nightmare wheel and is used for an Xyz summon, does Nightmare wheel leave. I got ruled that it doesn't leave at regionals but I'm not sure.

 

It should leave. The wording says that if the monster leaves the field, Nightmare Wheel is destroyed. Since an Xyz Material is not on the field, it should be considered as if the monster left the field, destroying Nightmare Wheel.

 

I'm not entirely sure, I'm just trying to follow the logic based on the wording of the card.

The logic the head judge used was that cards like Tengu which activate when they leave the field don't activate when used for Xyz.

Think of overlaying monsters as putting them into the deck. It's like removing them from the field but covering them up so their effects that activate upon leaving the field don't set off.

Rainbow Gravity can grab a monster from the Deck regardless of the Summoning Condition, meaning you can Special Summon Rainbow Dragon or Rainbow Dark Dragon without worrying about the conditions. Does that work the same way with the Graveyard (since the card says Deck or Graveyard) or does one in the Graveyard have to have been summoned properly first?

Works the same way. That's why it's worded like that, to override the rulings.

No. If Rainbow Dragon is in the Graveyard, it needs to have been Special Summoned properly to revive it, the same with Dark Flat Top + SKYFIRE, or Level Modulation and Armed Dragon LV7.

 

You may ignore the Summoning Conditions from the hand or Deck if the card says to ignore them (Level Up!). But if it's the Graveyard or RFG, you must have Summoned it properly. It says to Ignore the Summoning Conditions because Rainbow Dragon is a Nomi, and can otherwise not be Summoned even if properly summoned first.

A monster in the Hand or Deck is not subject to the "Must be summoned properly first" under the logic that a monster that's in the Hand or Deck could not have been summoned yet unlike one that's in the Graveyard/Banished. A nomi/semi-nomi must have been Special Summoned properly first in order to be revived from the Graveyard or Banish, even when Ignoring the Summoning Conditions.

I thought as much. Kinda sucks.

 

And if a Crystal Beast is Bottomless'd, can they choose to activate and move to the S/T?

 

No. Bottomless destroys and banishes, denying the CB the option to crystallize "instead".

 

This is different from Macro and D-Fissure, which only banish cards that actually would enter the Graveyard.

Direct Attack with Photon Streak Bouncer

 

They attempt to activate Gorz, I chain with Streak's effect (assuming it works in DMG step, which I believe they ruled it can)

 

Gorz doesn't get summoned than they take 1000 damage.

 

Because they take the 1000 burn, can they than Special Summon Gorz?

According to DN's wording, Photon Streak can only activate when a Monster Effect on your opponent's FIELD activates.

 

If that is the case, it cannot negate Gorz.

 

If DN is wrong, yes, you would be able to Summon Gorz after taking the burn, because Bouncer negates the activation, making the last thing to resolve the 1000 burn.
