Yu-Gi-Oh! Rulings Questions

[Mysty]

Tribute Dandylion for Zaborg. Both are mandatory so I can chain them in any order. Zaborg chain link 1, target opponent monster. Dandy chain 2. Only then the opponent can chain an optional effect, right? So cannot use Stardust to negate Zaborg, as it has to be chained directly after the effect to be negated. Am I right, or how all this would resolve?

 

You're part right.

 

In the OCG, the chain order goes:

1. Turn Player's mandatory activations

2. Opponent's mandatory activations

3. Turn Player's optional activations

4. Opponent's optional activations

 

In such case, you can chain it like that and Stardust cannot chain. The TCG "technically" uses a little-known and, in my experience, generally not followed "SEGOC" procedure.

 

EDIT: Misread your question. Yes, you are completely right. Just remember there are two steps to check before your mandatory activations and their optional activations.

If I use the burn effect of Summon Reactor, does it need to be face-up to use the attack negating effect?

[The Warden]

If I have a Utopia with Heroic Challenger Extra Sword attached to it, if I use a RUM on it to make Victory, would Extra Sword's effect also apply to the Victory? Or would it not since Utopia is the only one being technically treated as a Xyz Material.

My Opponent Takes Control of my Scrap Dragon.

Situation A - They destroy it with its own effect.

Situation B - They destroy it with some other effect.

Does it's revival effect occur in either situation?

[Zazubat]

My Opponent Takes Control of my Scrap Dragon.

Situation A - They destroy it with its own effect.

Situation B - They destroy it with some other effect.

Does it's revival effect occur in either situation?

Trick question, it's neither. They're no longer the opponent, you are. If they destroy it themself, it won't trigger.

 

 

If I have a Utopia with Heroic Challenger Extra Sword attached to it, if I use a RUM on it to make Victory, would Extra Sword's effect also apply to the Victory? Or would it not since Utopia is the only one being technically treated as a Xyz Material.

 

 

Always check the rulings of the card first: If a "Number 39: Utopia" that has "Heroic Challenger - Extra Sword" attached to it as an Xyz Material is used as an Xyz Material to Xyz Summon "Number C39: Utopia Ray", the "•" effect does not activate

 

 

EDIT: I got a question. Me an Plainview was dueling the other day, and I was wondering if you could use Blue-Eyed Maiden's effect or not when Celestial Dragon was attacking.

[darkwolf777]

If I use the burn effect of Summon Reactor, does it need to be face-up to use the attack negating effect?

 

It needs to remain face-up since the time it activated the first effect in order to trigger the second effect

 

EDIT: I got a question. Me an Plainview was dueling the other day, and I was wondering if you could use Blue-Eyed Maiden's effect or not when Celestial Dragon was attacking.

 

You can still activate Blue-Eyed Maiden's effect, but since she cannot negate its attack due to Celestial Dragon being unaffected, she will not change Battle Position or Summon a Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

[Zazubat]

If I activate the effect of Astral Barrier and my opponent chains Forbidden Lance, will it attack directly?

[darkwolf777]

If I activate the effect of Astral Barrier and my opponent chains Forbidden Lance, will it attack directly?

 

Astral Barrier affects the attacking monster.  If Forbidden Lance is in effect, the monster will not attack directly due to Astral Barrier.

[Mr. guy]

My Opponent Takes Control of my Scrap Dragon.

Situation A - They destroy it with its own effect.

Situation B - They destroy it with some other effect.

Does it's revival effect occur in either situation?

 

 

What If I destroy it with an effect or by battle?

[darkwolf777]

What If I destroy it with an effect or by battle?

 

The effect will never trigger when destroyed in your opponent's possession, regardless of how its destroyed.  The trigger conditions become invalidated in both situations regardless of who destroys it.

 

Your Opponent controls it + Your opponent destroys it = "When this card is destroyed by your opponent" is not satisfied because your opponent controls it and destroyed it himself, therefore he destroyed his own Scrap Dragon, not his opponent destroying it.

 

Your Opponent controls it + You destroy it = "When this card is destroyed by your opponent" is first satisfied, but when sent to your Graveyard, the first condition is invalidated since it is now sees you as the one who destroyed it, rather than the opponent.

Remote Revenge xXx Six Samurai

 

 

Okay, I've been using this combo for the longest of time and no one raised its authenticity just until last week when I was at a tornament:

 

The normal trap card: Remote Revenge has the following effect:

 

"Activate only when a monster you control is targeted by a Spell, Trap, or Effect Monster's effect that destroys 1 monster on the field. Switch the target to an appropriate monster your opponent controls."

 

So taking the Six Samurai and Great Shogun Shien monster(s) (and I just mean the original six that debuted in Strike of Neos), they all have share same effect:

 

"If this card would be destroyed you can destroy another "Six Samurai" monster you control instead" and also "While you control another "Six Samurai" monster with a different name, this card can... " meaning that their effects only activate when another "Six Samurai" monster is on the field.

 

How the combo works, is that anytime one of my Six Samurai monster is about to be destroyed and sent to the graveyard, I activate it's effect to target another Six Samurai to destroy and send to the graveyard. The ignition effect of Remote Revenge is thereby activiated and I am allowed to target another monster that my opponent controls. In theory anyway.

 

The arguement that was made, is that a Six Samurai's effect does not "target" another Six Samurai. Therefore, it does not activate the effect of Remote Revenge. (This was the situation when my opponent brought up the subject)

 

Situation

 

-I have two Six Samurai monsters monster, Zanji and Yariza.

 

-My opponet has a Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Red E. Black Dragon on the field.

 

-I attack with Zanji and his effect activiates:

"While you control another "Six Samurai" monster with a different name, destroy any monster this card attacks at the end of the damage step. If this would be destroyed, you can destroy another "Six Samurai" monster you control instead."

 

-What happens next, was that after Zanji attacks Blue Eyes and the Damage Step was resolved (where you caculate the battle damage from every attack), his effected activated and destroyed Blue Eyes.

 

-Since the Damage Step is also the phase where a monster is destroyed (last time I check with the rules), Zanji would've also been destroyed, but his secondary effect activiated and allowed me to destroy my other Six Samurai monster, Yariza.

 

-This is where I activiated Remote Revenge and instead of choosing Yariza as the target to destroy, Remote Revenge's effect allowed me to switch the target to Red Eyes (the only other monster available). Arrgo, both dragon monsters are destroyed with one card.

 

-I still took the battle damage that nearly cost me the match.

 

When I first used the combo, I questioned it myself and ended up using it for a couple of months anyway. No one quetioned it since that kid I was barely able to beat (this wasn't a tournament, so we disregared the Advanced Format of Banned Cards). That said, I just want to know how exactly the card effect works and if whether or not it is legal to use.

Remote Revenge xXx Six Samurai

The arguement that was made, is that a Six Samurai's effect does not "target" another Six Samurai. Therefore, it does not activate the effect of Remote Revenge. (This was the situation when my opponent brought up the subject)

 

1) Continuous Effects do not target.  Therefore, the Continuous Effects that "destroy another Six Samurai instead" do not target.

 

2) An effect may target Continuously after activation, but again that has to be a card which activated and then targets the card.  Continuous Effects do not activate.

 

3) Remote Revenge cannot be activated during the Damage Step.

 

4) Remote Revenge needs an "appropriate target".  Six Samurai monsters require a "Six Samurai you control".  Even if it Six Samurai monsters' Continuous Effect did target, "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" is NOT a "Six Samurai" monster.  Also, an opponent's "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" is NOT a monster YOU CONTROL.

 

So yeah, there's a lot of reasons why your combo does not work.

[Zeppeli Gyro Supreme]

If you summon a monster and your opponent activates Bottomless Trap Hole, can you still activate your own Torrential Tribute?

[darkwolf777]

If you summon a monster and your opponent activates Bottomless Trap Hole, can you still activate your own Torrential Tribute?

 

Of course.

[Zazubat]

If you summon a monster and your opponent activates Bottomless Trap Hole, can you still activate your own Torrential Tribute?

Yes, it's a popular way to avoid getting your guy banished if you don't want to actually, I have seen it used a few times.

 

At which point during the Battle Phase is ZW - Unicorn Spear's effect applied?

[darkwolf777]

At which point during the Battle Phase is ZW - Unicorn Spear's effect applied?

 

As soon as the attack is declared.

[Zeppeli Gyro Supreme]

That's what I figured, since I knew you could even activate multiple copies of TT or Bottomless if you wanted, but I just wanted to be absolutely sure so I didn't give someone bad advice.

[Just Crouton]

I just saw a post on a Youtube video that says Veiler can't negate Koa'ki Meiru Doom because Doom stops the activation of LIGHT and DARK effects. Is this true?

[Zazubat]

I just saw a post on a Youtube video that says Veiler can't negate Koa'ki Meiru Doom because Doom stops the activation of LIGHT and DARK effects. Is this true?

Why in the whole wide would would that not be true? Effect Veiler is LIGHT, and so it falls into the qualifications of what Doom says.

[evilfusion]

You can activate Veiler against Doom, but it will be negated by Doom.

If a Gemini Monster like Darkstorm Dragon uses its effect while Supervise is Equipped to it, then if I equip another Supervise, or Normal Summon it that turn, can I use it's effect again?

[Miror B]

If a Gemini Monster like Darkstorm Dragon uses its effect while Supervise is Equipped to it, then if I equip another Supervise, or Normal Summon it that turn, can I use it's effect again?

No. The effect was still used and the Gemini remembers that.

[Sander]

Is Chameleon's effect supposed to not work if you activate Kagetokage's effect after Normal Summoning Chameleon? Apparently on DevPro, Chameleon cannot activate its effect in that situation.

[Althemia]

Is Chameleon's effect supposed to not work if you activate Kagetokage's effect after Normal Summoning Chameleon? Apparently on DevPro, Chameleon cannot activate its effect in that situation.

Yeah. You cannot Special Summon during the turn you are supposed to use Chamenleon's effect, apart from the Summoned monster and the monster from the Extra Deck.

[Sander]

Yeah. You cannot Special Summon during the turn you are supposed to use Chamenleon's effect, apart from the Summoned monster and the monster from the Extra Deck.

 

Totally missed that part. Thanks for clearing that for me.
