Yu-Gi-Oh! Rulings Questions


Recommended Posts

Though you get it through activating the "CARD" not the "EFFECT" which I have read is a different thing, so wouldn't it make sense what Evil said?

 

A related question: Do the effects of Hysteric Sign and Fire Formation - Tenki activate on the same Chain Link as the activation of the card, or do they activate on a new chain after the card resolves?

Something I just thought to ask is if there are more than 3 monsters on the same name in the grave, can Symbol of Heritage be activated to Special Summon 1 of them? In other words, does Symbol of Heritage require the exact number, or does "3" act as a meter that must be filled before it can become playable. It mentions the Harpie ladies in its rulings, but it also only mentions them as being a total of 3 in the graveyard.

Typically, if it requires an exact number, no more or less, it will state "exactly 3". Granted, we didnt have things that counted as a name while in the Graveyard when Symbol was released, but the ruling to my knowledge would not change. So long as there are 3 with the same name (or more), you can use Symbol.

For effects that activate in the End Phase, in the Standby Phase, and at the end of the Battle Phase, do they form a Chain or activate and resolve on separate chains?

Effects that activate during a Phase do not chain with each other. Multiple Gladiator Beasts tagging out will use their own chains.

When a card does not specify where its Special Summoning from, then the default is to consider it an inherent Special Summon done while the card is in your hand only. You cannot Special Summon Spell Striker from the Graveyard with its own Special Summoning Condition; only from the hand.

If you could summon those kinds of cards anywhere... I would not play this game.

Right. The problem-solving card text is only about a year old. Spell Striker is several years old and I don't think it's been reprinted recently.

 

In fact, I'm pretty sure it's questions like this that prompted them to specify "from your hand" whenever writing a Summoning Condition.

that would only make sense, I mean yeah since it doesn't say from graveyard of course it shouldn't be from there, or the banished zone, but it doesn't say from hand either, so that makes it as confusing. Well, it's not really the greatest card anyways, I just saw it in a match, and thought, where? So I had to know it in case I for some reason wanted to use it.

Even before the new text, the default was "from the hand, unless the card explicitly says you can Summon it with that effect from another location".

 

Is Mischief of the Yokai's second effect (removing from the Graveyard) a quick effect?

 

It should be, since it's the effect of a Trap Card (even in the Graveyard), and therefore can be used during either turn unless stated otherwise (such as Breakthrough Skill explicitly says your turn, as does Skill Successor).
