Yu-Gi-Oh! Rulings Questions

It doesn't have to be valid later in the turn. It only has to be valid at the time you Summon it. If the Summon is negated, or if its name is not correct on Summon, you take damage during the End Phase. Using something like Hero Mask or a Trap to change its name after Summoning it successfully will not affect the fact you did Summon a monster with the correct name.

I was more talking about the Harpie card actually.

 

EDIT: If an card that needs to be face-up to activate and resolve is flipped face-down and later flipped face-up, will it's effect resolve at let's say the End Phase?

If I take the Damage for Memory of an Adversary can my opponent chain with Warning?

[Zeppeli Gyro Supreme]

If I take the Damage for Memory of an Adversary can my opponent chain with Warning?

The damage happens during resolution, so if they let you take the damage they are letting you resolve, then no.

[Zazubat]

Not at the moment when you take damage as you're in the middle of resolution. But your opponent could before. I see why your opponent would like to do as such, as it would mean you took some damage and they could also activate warning, but your opponent is simply fooling you since this is impossible.

Can you Tribute Set with Totem Dragon?

[Zazubat]

Can you Tribute Set with Totem Dragon?

From the wikia: Double Tributers (ダブルコストモンスター, Daburu Kosuto Monsutā, Double Cost Monster) are monsters that can be offered as two monsters for a Tribute Summon while Set or face-up, usually for a monster of a specific Attribute, Type or name.

 

This applies to every card that can treat itself as two tributes (unless states otherwise I suppose, but no cards listed there did as such)

 

EDIT: Scrap that, you mean if you can Set the monster you want to Tribute. Yes of course you can, you always can, you don't have to tell your opponent, just make sure you arn't using an invalid card, otherwise you're cheating.

 

Viser Des, doesn't activate if flipped face-up by an effect/attack, correct?

[Mysty]

If the Six Samurai use their 'my buddy as a shield' tactic, is their source and kind of destruction the same?

For a contrived example, let's say Jurrac Guaiba attacks my The Six Samurai - Kamon, and I replace Kamon's destruction with The Six Samurai - Zanji's destruction. Would Jurrac Guaiba still activate?

The effect of Kamon is it's own effect to destroy an other monster, which is in terms not an attack, but an effect that destroy it. This is supported by this ruling, only the first part in bold matters: A “Six Samurai” monster destroyed by this effect is considered to be destroyed by the effect, no matter how the other “Six Samurai” monster would have been destroyed.

Viser Des, doesn't activate if flipped face-up by an effect/attack, correct?

If Viser Des isn't Normal Summoned, none of his effects apply.

Would Chaos Hunter be able to stop an effect like: "Your opponent can banish 1 card from their Deck and..." ?

[evilfusion]

Would Chaos Hunter be able to stop an effect like: "Your opponent can banish 1 card from their Deck and..." ?

 

Yes. While Chaos Hunter is out, your opponent cannot activate any cards or effects that banish.

[Zazubat]

Yes. While Chaos Hunter is out, your opponent cannot activate any cards or effects that banish.

I thought this only applied to costs, and not effects that include banishing suppose I was wrong.

[Aix]

No, I mean, you activate a card that allows your opponent the option of banishing.

[Zeppeli Gyro Supreme]

Please give an example of what you mean, because the answer could mean yes or no depending on what the effect is.

[Aix]

I'm talking about custom cards here, but it would go like:
 

"(Blah, blah, blah, insert effect here), and if you do, your opponent can banish 1 card from their Deck face-down. It is added to their hand during the End Phase."

[Zeppeli Gyro Supreme]

In that case, you can activate the effect, but the banish effect will not be applied.

 

There's not really any official rulings for Chaos Hunter nor Imperial Iron Wall for effects that include an optional banish, with the exception of Allure of Darkness which it says you cannot activate, but the banish is slightly different as it's part of the card's conditions... Really, it could go either way, but this is what I would assume.

My opponent solemned my Soul Exchange. Can I battle this turn?

[Zazubat]

My opponent solemned my Soul Exchange. Can I battle this turn?

Yes you can. Soul Exchange says "The turn you activate this card", which is different from if it said "used," so if it's activation is negated, none of it's effects will work and you can perform your normal phases and steps.

[Zeppeli Gyro Supreme]

You can't use Solemn Warning on Soul Exchange. Read the card. It does not summon a monster. All it does is alter what can be tributed. You don't even have to use the tribute for the summon a monster, you can use it as a cost for a card.

[Blake]

[Zeppeli Gyro Supreme]

In that case, the question was answered, but saying "solemn" in that case has two implications. I just answered the second side.

 

EDIT: Oh, and the ruling is right there in the wiki, apparently. It's good to check there first.

"When the activation of "Soul Exchange" is negated by "Magic Jammer" etc, you can conduct your Battle Phase. When only the effect of "Soul Exchange" is negated by "Imperial Order" etc, you cannot conduct your Battle Phase."

[Zazubat]

You can't use Solemn Warning on Soul Exchange. Read the card. It does not summon a monster. All it does is alter what can be tributed. You don't even have to use the tribute for the summon a monster, you can use it as a cost for a card.

He never mentioned using Solem Warning, just Solemn, and since Solemn Warning never would have worked, people go to Judgement instead.

[Zazubat]

"You can target 1 Defense Position monster you opponent control; change it to face-up Attack Position, and if you do it, negate it’s effect, also that card’s ATK becomes half of it’s original ATK until your opponent’s next End Phase."

 

From my card, I want to write it so only the "also" effect is until the End Phase, but I am not sure if what I'm writing is applies to all of it, or only the last part. I think its the former though, so I don't know how to write it. Can anybody help? Also, there's a once per turn and monster specific clause there somewhere, just not important.

Solemn is Judgment, Warning is Warning.
