Yu-Gi-Oh! Rulings Questions

[Mister Sir]

Could someone please explain the strategy behind Debu-Hime?

Could someone please explain the strategy behind Debu-Hime?

 

Okay, well, it's a control deck, to start things off.

 

You use "Debris Dragon" + Dandylion(mainly) to go into "Black Rose Dragon" to nuke the field(you get the two Fluffy tokens after "Black Rose Dragon" resolves. Then once you have a clear field, you can begin to set up using "Lonefire Blossom" -> "Tytannial, Princess of Camellias" to have a 2800 beater on the field who can negate Targeting Effects, like "Book of Moon" and "Celestia, Lightsworn Angel."

 

You use your Backrow to prevent your opponent from doing things, and to keep your control, and if you can't, then another "Debris Dragon" will give you a reset button, along with two more Fluffy Tokens.

 

Some people play Monarchs as well, to give it a more Control based aspect, along with Mark of the Rose for easy synchroing/tributing.

 

But take a look at some decks online and experiment with it. It's an incredibly fun deck to play with(from my experience)

[Synchronized]

Two questions;

 

-I know that Solemn Judgment can't be activated during the Damage Step or in response to' date=' say, a monster Summoned with the effect of [b']Monster Reborn.[/b] You'd have to negate Monster Reborn itself to negate the Summon. Does Torrential Tribute work the same way?

 

Torrential Tribute is activated in response to the Summon after the monster is successfully Summoned; it doesn't negate the Summon. Thus, you can use Torrential against a Cyber Dragon that Special Summons itself or against a monster Special Summoned by Monster Reborn. However, it cannot be activated in the Damage Step.

 

Incidentally, Solemn Judgment, being a Counter Trap, can be activated in the Damage Step.

 

Thanks. Does that mean Solemn Judgment can negate the Summon of a monster Special Summoned by the effect of Pyramid Turtle?

 

-If I attack with Elemental Hero Shining Flare Wingman and there are 3 Elemental Hero monsters in my Graveyard' date=' making [b']Elemental Hero Shining Flare Wingman[/b]'s ATK 3400, and my opponent plays Shrink, what does the ATK of Elemental Hero Shining Flare Wingman become?

 

Shrink halves original ATK, not ATK.

 

Then what was that confusing Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind ruling?

[YuugiCM]

Can you use elemental hero prisma's effect to use as fusion material for destiny end dragoon?

[BehindTheMask]

Thanks. Does that mean Solemn Judgment can negate the Summon of a monster Special Summoned by the effect of Pyramid Turtle?

 

No, "Solemn Judgement" cannot negate the Summon of a monster Special Summoned by the effect of "Pryamid Turtle."

 

"Solemn Judgement" can only negate "the activation of a Spell Card / Trap Card / Normal Summon / Flip Summon / Special Summon and destroy the Spell Card, Trap Card, or Summoned monster."

 

The monster special summoned by "Pyramid Turtle" cannot be negated by "Solemn Judgement" because it is being special summoned by the EFFECT of "Pyramid Turtle."

 

Then what was that confusing Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind ruling?

 

Well, "Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind" only affects the current ATK and DEF of a monster.

 

For example:

 

Player A has "Beserk Gorilla" in ATK mode.

Player B has "Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind" on the field.

 

Player B activates "Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind", halving the ATK of Beserk Gorilla.

 

"Beserk Gorilla's" new ATK value is 1000.

 

Here are "Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind's" effect:

 

- The effect of “Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind” targets 1 monster your opponent controls.

 

- The ATK of the targeted monster is halved for as long as that monster remains face-up on the field.

 

- If you target a monster with “Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind” that was already targeted before, its ATK will be one-quarter. Then one-eighth if you target it again after that.

 

i.e. "Beserk Gorilla"'s ATK going from 2000, to 1000, to 500 to 250...etc

 

- The ATK of the targeted monster can be increase/decreased from its new level.

 

i.e. Player A activates "Axe of Despair" on their "Beserk Gorilla", after it was halved by "Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind." The new ATK would be 2000.

 

- If a monster with 1000 ATK gains 700 ATK from “Rush Recklessly” until the end of the turn, and is then targeted by “Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind”, its ATK is now 850, and remains 850 even after “Rush Recklessly” expires.

 

- If a monster with 1000 ATK gains 1000 ATK from “Axe of Despair” and is then targeted by “Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind”, its ATK is now 1000, and remains 1000 if “Axe of Despair” is destroyed.

 

- If a monster equipped with “United We Stand” has its ATK halved, the new ATK remains and is unchanged by “United We Stand”. (So if the number of monsters on the field changes, the ATK remains the same.)

 

i.e:

 

Player A has "Beserk Gorilla" on the field, equipped with "United We Stand." (No other monsters on the field).

 

Player B has "Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind" on the field.

 

Player B activates "Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind" halving "Beserk Gorilla's" ATK value to 1400. (2800/2)

 

Then on Player A's turn, they summon "Enraged Battle Ox." Beserk Gorilla's ATK does NOT change.

Can you use elemental hero prisma's effect to use as fusion material for destiny end dragoon?

 

Yes, as long as you reveal either "Destiny Hero Dogma" or "Destiny Hero Plasma" before hand.

[Kaiba18]

Do I have this right? To summon a level 8 Syncro Monster you tribute a tuner and non tuners whose levels add up 8? Like' date=' could I for example, tribute a level 4 tuner and a Dark Blade to Syncro Summon a Syncro?

[/quote']

 

yes that is correct

[JAELOVE]

Man you guys get to these questions quickly lol.

[iAmNateXero]

we try.

[Alastar Rainford]

The only thing wrong with above statement is that you don't tribute for Synchro Summon you send to grave.

 

Q:Does Hyper Synchron still take effect if the Dragon Synchro is sent to grave that turn

[burnpsy]

If it gets sent to the grave/ceases to be face-up/is no longer on the field at ANY point during that turn, it no longer gets affected by Hyper Synchron.

 

For example, Stardust would come back with 2500 and not be removed, etc.

[Alastar Rainford]

that helps thank you

[Master Hyperion]

Is the Dark Creator a semi-nomi?

Because it's Summoning requires say:

This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card can only be Special Summoned, by having 5 or more DARK monsters in your Graveyard while you control no monsters.

 

And even if it is, if I Montser Reborn the The Dark Creator, am I still required to have 5 DARKs (or more) in my Graveyard while I control no monsters on the field?

 

Once again, just checking.

[Manjoume Thunder]

I read that if you control a LaDD with 0 ATK points and your opponent activates something, LaDD will negate the effect. Is that right?

Yes, it's a Semi-Nomi. And the Summoning Condition isn't relevant when Special Summoning Semi-Nomis by alternative methods, so no, you don't need 5 DARKs in the graveyard.

 

I read that if you control a LaDD with 0 ATK points and your opponent activates something' date=' LaDD will negate the effect. Is that right?

[/quote']

 

If your LADD has less than 500 ATK or DEF, then its negation effect will still activate; however, since it does not have sufficient stats to fully resolve, it will fizzle when it would normally resolve, and will not actually negate the effect.

 

Unless you're pulling some shenanigans with the Chain-based cards, though, the fact that it activates without resolution will be largely irrelevant.

[SephirothKirby]

You can remove from play a Monster Token with the second effect of "Cyber Valley". "Cyber Valley" will be removed from play' date=' the Monster Token will disappear, and you will draw.[/quote']

 

What the funk? When did this happen?

Yes, I checked.

What the f***? When did this happen?

That's been known for a long time...

[SephirothKirby]

You cannot send Monster Tokens or a face-up "Dark Magician of Chaos" to the Graveyard to Special Summon "Arcana Force EX - The Dark Ruler".

 

This is because Tokens CANNOT be sent to the Graveyard.

 

They CANNOT be removed from play.

 

What is the difference?

[burnpsy]

It's simple. Konami said so.

[CrabHelmet]

Cyber Valley's second effect uses the word "and" rather than the word "to", which makes the removal part of the effect rather than a cost. That is why it is permitted.

[Dark Signer]

how do u make the pictures

[burnpsy]

I summon Morphtronic Celfon, declare an effect activation on it's ATK Mode effect, opponent chains E-Con. Which effect activates?

 

Similarly, will using E-Con stop a direct attack that was declared with Morphtronic Boarden's effect, even if it wasn't Boarden who attacked?

[BehindTheMask]

The effect of "Morphtronic Celfon" only checks what mode it's in when it is activated not when it resolves.

 

Not sure on the second part

[SUPERYUGI!GO!!]

Similarly' date=' will using E-Con stop a direct attack that was declared with Morphtronic Boarden's effect, even if it wasn't Boarden who attacked?

[/quote']

 

if they declared a direct attack while the opponent has monsters, a replay would occur the same as if you attacked directly against an empty field and your opponent activates Scapegoats.

 

EDIT: the reason being is that Boarden's effect is continuous, so changing its mode cancels out the effect instantly, making the direct attack impossible and thus a replay would occur. However, if boarden had an ignition effect like celfon, you could chain E-Con to it's effect, (which wouldn't prevent the direct attacks), or chain it to a direct attack (which again wouldn't prevent it as the effect has already been activated)

 

Example of ignition effect: "You can only activate this effect while this card is in attack mode. Select any number of morphtronic monster on your side of the field. Those monsters can attack your opponents life points directly this turn only"

[burnpsy]

Thanks for answering my questions, guys!
