Yu-Gi-Oh! Rulings Questions

Can I activate Kaiser Colosseum if I don't control any monsters?

[newhat]

Yes. Kaiser Colosseum is a Field Spell Card, which by nature do not have activation requirements.

 

If you control a monster, it applies a restriction to the field

[Zazubat]

I got another quesiton. Switchhitter VS Book of Moon.

[evilfusion]

Kaiser is a Continuous Spell, but the answer is still correct. It can be placed face-up regardless of the current Field, but its effects only apply while you have one or more monsters.

 

 

I got another quesiton. Switchhitter VS Book of Moon.

 

It'd be the same thing as if you used Book of Moon on Tour Guide. Battlin' Boxer Switch Hitter is a Trigger Effect that activates when it is Normal Summoned. If you chain Book of Moon to the effect, the target will still be Special Summoned, and you still cannot Special Summon other monsters that aren't Battlin' Boxers that turn.

What happens if I use Inferno Reckless Summon while my opponent only has an Extra Deck monster?

What happens if I use Inferno Reckless Summon while my opponent only has an Extra Deck monster?

They cannot summon from the extra deck with IRS. If they have a copy of that monster in the grave, they may summon it.

Say you have Torrential Tribute set and Chaos Hunter in hand. The opponent SS a monster. Which must happen first, Torrential or summoning Hunter?

Chaos Hunter is a Trigger Effect, so it won't be able to chain to Torrential. Hunter would have to be CL1. So Torrential would resolve first.

So TT would resolve, then Hunter is summoned? Or am I being retarded and Hunter is summoned THEN TT activates? I feel like such a nub.

Monster is Summoned.

 

Chain Link 1: Chaos Hunter's effect.

Chain Link 2: Torrential Tribute.

 

Chains resolve backwards.

 

Chain Link 2: Torrential Tribute destroys all monsters.

Chain Link 1: Hunter is SSed.

ah ok. Thanks guys.

The monsters targeted by Cross Attack only need to have the same attack when you activate it? I can use some ATK gain cards later right? Also, do I have to choose which I wish to attack with directly this turn, and which I wish not to attack, or do I just attack with one of them during the Battle Phase, and then the other cannot attack?

Once activated and those two cards are targeted, changing the ATK will not invalidate the effect.

 

You do not choose which is which at activation.  Once you make an attack declaration with either monster, that will cause the other one to be unable to attack.

I can use Jewels of the Valiant to send something in the Graveyard if I Summon a Dragon Ruler by using 1 monster in the Graveyard and 1 in my hand? I says (and no other cards are banished at the same), but does that refer to from the Graveyard, or just in general?

From the phrase "and no other cards are banished at the same time", I conclude that you cannot use the effect if you use a Dragon Ruler to banish 1 from Grave, 1 from hand. If it only applied to the Graveyard, it wouldn't need to clarify using that line.

Q: If the monster of the cemetery and one body token on the field were excluded by the effect of "Dragon Torishura of freezing world", can I activate the effect of this card?
Can not activate: A. (13/02/25)

 

Q: "If a monster in the Graveyard and one Token on the field were banished by the effect of Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier, can I activate the effect of this card?"

A: "You cannot activate it".

What happens if you have Gravekeeper's Servant and Dimensional Fissure on the field? I know Macro locks the opponent since its any card, but Fissure is only monsters. But with Servant you don't know what you're going to mill.

The player cannot attack as they cannot guarantee that the cost can be paid.  This goes with Convulsion of Nature in play as well as regardless of Convulsion of Nature's effect, the Deck is still considered non-public, including the card that is humanly visible on the top.

The game state cannot determine whether the top card of your Deck is a monster or not (even with Convulsion of Nature or similar). Therefore, you cannot pay the cost for certain, so you may not attack.

This is somehow gonna sound silly....

I think nothing exists to get under this situation but:

Let's say Book of Taiyou was Quick-play.

If I attacked with a monster. Then flipped it down with Book of Moon, and up with Book of Taiyou. Can it attack again?

No, because it has already declared an attack that turn, even if the attack itself was unsuccessful.

[Sleepy]

No I did not mean in response to the attack. I meant it as in, you successfully attack, then later during that same Battle Phase, do the flip down and up without going into MP2.

Though, based on your answer I guess it makes little difference.

 

Thank you.

If it successfully got an attack through, then it definitely cannot attack again.

 

Monsters can only declare 1 attack a turn (which is why if they don't attack immediately when given a replay, they can't attack later) unless they have effects that allow multiple attacks. Whether a monster declared an attack is still "tracked" by the game state even when the attacker is flipped facedown (which is why they can't be flipped faceup with a manual position change during MP2), so it won't be able to declare another attack.

 

The only way it can attack again is if it left the Field and was re-Summoned.

[Sleepy]

That's exactly what I wanted to know. 

That makes sense.

 

I had a slight amount of hope that it'd be otherwise, but that rule is for the best xD
Thanks again~

I Normal Summon my Wind-Up Shark, my opponent attempts to Solemn Warning it, I Solemn Judge it. Chain ends. Can I activate my Wind-Up Shark from the hand at this moment, or is it too late?
