Yu-Gi-Oh! Rulings Questions

[darkwolf777]

Why would you think this targets anyway, just asking, does anybody think that effect targets? Seriously, I want to know.

 

There are two actions in regards to Wonder Wand: Activating the card itself to equip it to a monster and Activating the effect of Wonder Wand which Draws 2 cards.

 

He was only clarifying which of those two actions would have any affect on Blue-Eyed Maiden getting her effect.  Nobody is saying they think anything.  He's only saying it doesn't.

 

You do have a habit of overthinking things a bit, zazubat.

Could you answer my question, darkwolf? Just for clarity.

Could you answer my question, darkwolf? Just for clarity.

 

Evilfusion already answered it.

 

In all cases, when you activate a card, you are activating the effects of a card, regardless of whether any effect would be applied at resolution of said card.

 

Targeting Blue-Eyed Maiden with any Equip Spell Card should trigger her effect.

My opponent plays a Forbidden Chalice On my Fortune Lady Dark, latter on in the duel I activate a Spellbook of Wisdom on it, for the "Negate Other Spells" effect.

 

My opponent Argues that FL dark is still affected by Chalice because Wisdom was used after the effect had been applied. Does my FL have 400 atk from Chalice, or 2000 from it's effect?

If you had activated your Spellbook of Wisdom in response to when the Chalice was hit on it (or anytime before), then yes, but since the effect has been applied, your Spellbook has no effect on it.

So, why can Gogogo Ghost's effect be activated during the Damage Step?

So, why can Gogogo Ghost's effect be activated during the Damage Step?

 

Trigger Effects upon Summon, such as Stratos or Gogogo Ghost tend to be able to work during the Damage Step.

Interesting scenario me and the guy couldn't figure out. 

 

He had Barkion and I activated Castle of Dragonic Souls. He negated it via said Barkion. Would Castle's second effect still activate?

A card whose activation is negated is not considered to have been on the field, regardless of whether it was there or not prior to activation.  This goes for the negation of a Flip Summon as well.

 

To get the 2nd effect, Castle of Dragonic Souls card activation must have successfully resolved and be face-up when that condition is satisfied.  If MST is chained to its activation and destroys it, you will not get the effect either.

Does Infected Mail kill the target at the end of any Battle Phase, or only a Battle Phase conducted that same turn?

[Zazubat]

Does Infected Mail kill the target at the end of any Battle Phase, or only a Battle Phase conducted that same turn?

Considering that it say "the Battle Phase", it must mean any Battle Phase, which also include your opponnet's, and your future ones.

[darkwolf777]

Does Infected Mail kill the target at the end of any Battle Phase, or only a Battle Phase conducted that same turn?

 

Infected Mail's effect only applies to the turn you used its effect on a monster, not any future turns.

 

If you do not have a Battle Phase that same turn, it will not be sent.  Its effects are not applied on later turns or opponent's turns if you didn't enter a Battle Phase on the turn you used the effect.

That's...strange. Anyone able to test this?

[Zazubat]

That's...strange. Anyone able to test this?

Sadly, it's too new for me to test it in Over the Nexus. I'll see if it works in Devpro, though considering that wolf is almost always right, that's probably the real answer (even though the card doesn't say it has to be your turn).

Ｑ：このカードの効果を発動したターンにバトルフェイズを行わなかった場合、次のバトルフェイズに対象となったモンスターは墓地に送られますか？

Ａ：いいえ、送られません。(11/04/24)

 

Q: If I do not do Battle Phase the turn you activate the effect of this card, that monster was the subject of the Battle Phase is the next is sent to the graveyard?

A: No, it is not sent. (11/04/24)

You seem to get things from this wiki a lot, what is the name of it?

[darkwolf777]

I just type in the Japanese name of the card in Yahoo.  The wiki always comes up first: http://yugioh-wiki.net/

 

If i'm not completely sure on something, I check that out as well to see how the OCG handles it.

[Zazubat]

Testing Infected Mail in Devpro proves this, I used it on my monsters, they were not sent. My opponnet goes to their Battle Phase, they do not get sent either there. So I was wrong in that it would work for future turns.

 

Another question, I seem to not be able to activate Infected Mail on my first turn, is it suppose to work like that, or is that a flaw with Devpro.

You cannot activate Infected Mail (or similar cards) at any point in time where you cannot have a Battle Phase after the point in which you're trying to activate the effect during the turn.  You cannot activate its effects during the first turn, during Main Phase 2, or during any turn where you cannot have a Battle Phase due to a card effect.

Which is why you hate the TCG ruling for Inzektor Hopper, as it's nonsensical with that knowledge.

Inzektor Hopper is one of the reasons why I stopped admining on Dueling Network.  I couldn't be forced to follow that stupidity.

I'm sorry for my ignorance, but what is this all about?

[evilfusion]

The TCG ruled, despite several rulings for similar cards that state the exact opposite, that you may use Inzektor Hopper's effect during your first turn/ This helped TCG Inzektors, but fell off the radar when the TCG got Inzektor Ladybug.

So you were allowed to attack directly that turn?

[evilfusion]

No, that part was impossible, because you can't have a Battle Phase. The effect should not have been legal to activate at all, because you cannot Battle at all. Cards like Overpowering Eye (lets a Zombie with 2000 ATK or less attack directly that turn) is ruled the way darkwolf was explaining. Inzektor Hopper was ruled the other way. Because it was an official TCG ruling, Admins on DN were told they had to enforce that ruling. Darkwolf said that was idiotic because TCG judges aren't remotely perfect when it comes to making rulings that contradict the OCG.
