Yu-Gi-Oh! Rulings Questions


Recommended Posts

A card is worded like this:

"Send up to 2 LIGHT Main-Type Monsters from your Deck to the Graveyard. Shuffle your deck afterwards. Effects of cards sent to the Graveyard by this card's effect cannot be activated."

 

Best guess, are the effects still unable to be activated if they are, say Special Summoned from the Graveyard?

 

Main-Type?

 

In any case, the effect should only apply while they're still in the Graveyard. If they leave, its no longer applied.

I have 1000 Life Points, my opponent has 1500.

I equip Megamorph to my opponent's Blue Eyes White Dragon and activate the effect of Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind on it as well.

On their turn, they attack activating Reinforcement to try to destroy Gale, but I chain Shrink and Mirror Wall.

 

What happens to BEWD's ATK?

Edited:

While your Life Points are lower than your opponent's, the original ATK of the equipped monster is doubled. While your Life Points are higher, the original ATK of the equipped monster is halved.

(3000x2)=6000

If you control a "Blackwing" monster other than "Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind", you can Special Summon this card from your hand. Once per turn, you can halve the ATK and DEF of 1 face-up monster your opponent controls.

(6000/2)=3000

Target face-up monster gains 500 ATK until the End Phase.

(3000+500)=3500

Select 1 face-up monster on the field. The original ATK of that monster is halved until the end of this turn.

(3500/2)=1750

Halve the ATK of all your opponent's attacking monsters. During each of your Standby Phases, pay 2000 Life Points or destroy this card.

(1750/2)=875

 

Blue Eyes White Dragon's would be eight-hundred-seventy-five.

Where you lazy?

Actually, at the time of Shrink it would go to 1500 because BEWD's ORIGNAL Attack is 3000

3000/2(Megamorph)=1500/2(Gale)=750+500(Reinforcements)=1250 Then *^&*^& Because Shrink so 3000/2(Shrink)=1500/2(Megamorph)=750/2(Mirror Wall)=325

Since Megamorph is continuous and is affected by the controller of megamorph's life points, iirc.

Yes, because MST negates the Spells and Traps that it destroys, making it wholly superior to the vast majority of all cards.

 

No, of course not.

 

What? That was a legit question because someone at my locals claimed that Starlight has to actually be on the field to resolve and destroy its target. But thanks for the douchey answer, lol.

I'm not aware of any non-Continuous cards with that restriction that don't specifically say "This card must be face up to activate and resolve this effect".

That doesn't make much sense to me, at the time you're activating it it would have destroyed 2 cards, and does in fact sucessfully negate the card it was used against, so you should be able to summon Stardust anyway...

 

The way SLR is worded is that it negates the card whether 2 or more cards would be destroyed or not. It's worded that Stardust is only summoned if you negated an effect that would have actually destroyed 2 or more cards.

I'm not sure where the confusion is with Starlight Road, but some of these posts don't make sense.

 

"When a card or effect is activated that destroys 2 or more cards you control" is the activation condition. After you activate this card, this line serves no purpose. It does not come into play at all when resolving the effect.

 

"Negate the activation, and if you do, destroy that card, then you can Special Summon 1 "Stardust Dragon" from your Extra Deck" is the effects. The effects must perform each step in order to continue onto the next step as effects tend to do. Therefore, it must:

 

Negate the activation -> Destroy That Card -> You can Special Summon 1 "Stardust Dragon".

 

Therefore, if for some reason Starlight Road cannot negate the activation (such as Splendid Venus is summoned), then it wont destroy the card or summon Stardust Dragon. Also, if for some reason it cannot destroy that card its negating (such as the card in question is no longer on the field to be destroyed, such as when MST is chained and destroys it first), then it cannot summon Stardust Dragon.

 

"If MST changes the amount of spells that would be destroyed to less than 2, Stardust will not be summoned. Starlight Road will still negate the card."

 

This is the ruling I've always been told.

 

It does NOT matter what happens to the two cards that "would be destroyed" that allowed Starlight Road to activate in the first place. Stardust Dragon can be summoned in that situation.
