Yu-Gi-Oh! Rulings Questions


Recommended Posts

it says "if you do", but it's old so I dunno.

And that's helpful, that means that I can set it, and activate it. Doesn't Ancient Gear do this, now when I remember correctly?

Geartown works this way.

Also Ancient Fairy doesn't have PSCT so trying to apply full PSCT logic will work about as well as using Pole Position without running into infinite loops.

This is something I've been thinking about for a long time. IRL, when you activate cards/effects that Target a card in your Graveyard OR activate the effects of cards in your Graveyard, do you do the formality of moving that card to the top of the Graveyard? Even if that card had an obvious effect, like say Marie the Fallen One which activates during your Standby Phase, would you always move it to the top or is it, like, 'understood'?

 

It matters for cards like "Question", when the order of cards in your Graveyard is actually significant.

 

I've never dueled IRL (This game doesn't exist in my country), so idk. In all video games this procedure is done.

I see this in video games too. I suppose they do Irl too, it's annoying but needed, just like other game mechanics

In the video games, when a card is activated in the Graveyard, or selected for a Card effect, it immediately goes to the top of the Graveyard; this only exists for the purposes of clarification within those video games, and this game mechanic is not used in either the OCG or TCG.

Ah okay, thanks.

 

It's weird why they do it in the games still, when cards like question exist.

Does question just use the most bottom card or that card being put on the top then?

 

In the video games, it'd probably still use the (new) bottom card. It sounds like the video games alter how the mechanics involving graveyard order work in exchange for clarification with targeting and effects. The TCG and OCG would not alter the order when targeting and activating effects.

 

So in this case, the video games are doing it incorrectly and should not be referenced as accurate.

So, if Pyrotech Mech - Shiryu's effect is negated, will you still take damage?

 

It's a Trigger Effect of Shiryu.  If it's negated, it will not inflict damage.

 

Do you reveal the card in your hand for Star Blast?

 

You would need to reveal the monster in your hand to which you would be selecting for Star Blast as proof you have a monster in your hand to apply its effect to.

Cannot be Normal Summoned unless you control no Level 5 or higher monsters. When this card is Normal Summoned: You can target 1 monster with 0 DEF in your Graveyard; Special Summon that target, but its effects are negated. During the turn this effect is activated, you cannot Special Summon monsters, except from your Extra Deck.

 

Based on this current wording, would I be able to activate Kagetokage in response to its Summon + Effect?

 

I'd figure not, but I'm not 100%...

If you tried to use the effect of this card, you would not be allowed to activate Kagetokage even though the effect has not resolved. This would be like chaining Call of the Haunted to Pot of Duality.

 

This card's wording is kinda weird since you already Special Summoned a monster...
