Yu-Gi-Oh! Rulings Questions

Summon Breaker triggers on the turn player's third Summon even if it wasn't face-up to "see" the first two.

 

To add a question. If my opponent activates MST targeting a Set Hazy Glory or Bubble Bringer, can I flip those cards face-up in response and then send them to the Graveyard for their revival effects?

Both cards require them to "send this face-up card" as the cost to activate it.  If its face-down, then you would not be able to pay the cost to activate that effect, so no, you cannot.  Remember that turning the card face-up is also a part of your attempt to "activate the card".  If it cannot be activated (because you cannot pay the cost), it cannot be flipped face-up (in an attempt to activate that effect).

Both cards have a Continuous effect; I thought they could be flipped to activate at any time without regard to their self-sacrificial effect. After flipping them face-up to activate the cards, but before the Chain begins to resolve, can I attempt to use their self-sacrificial effects as the next link on the Chain?

Another Summon Breaker question. Let us assume my opponent has summoned twice already. He summons a monster, and I activate Demise of the Land to activate Breaker from my deck. Does Breaker activate at that point, since the third summon was successful?

No. The Trigger Effect of Breaker has to respond to the Summon in question. This is kind of like Call of the Haunted and Stardust Dragon.

 

EDIT: A question. If my only monster is Trifortresstops, can my opponent's Ice Beast Zerofyne gain ATK with its effect?

If I use Big Eye's effect then summon 107 or 69 can I attattack with big eye that turn because its effect becomes negated?

No. I'm not sure if negating the activation would let Big Eye attack, but if it's already been activated and resolved, Big Eye is definitely not attacking.

The contradiction on the page is worded wrong. It says that the OCG ruling on Big Eye supports that it CAN attack because the effect (not the activation) was negated, when it's actually the other way around. If the ACTIVATION is negated, it can attack. If only the effect is negated (by Veiler or similar), it still cannot attack.

 

The TCG ruling with Chaos Sorcerer is not a confirmed ruling. Big Eye's TCG text says "activate", so it should follow the OCG ruling correctly.

This has been bugging me for a bit and a few friends of mine wanna confirm this: Opponent has Ophion and 3 other monsters on field and I have Lava golem in hand. Am I capable of getting off Lava Golem's cost or no?

Assuming Ophion has an Xyz Material, no. You cannot even attempt the Special Summon of a level 5 or higher monster.

Fairly certain I know this one and DevPro seems to confirm it, but just making sure:

 

If I detach Archfiend Heiress from Wind-Up Zenmaines to protect it from being destroyed, I do get to search provided I haven't used the effect of a Heiress earlier in the turn, right? I'm guessing it's a yes because the detach is an effect and not a cost, but again, just verifying.

 

And then this one I don't really know:

 

If Skill Drain is face-up on the field, can I Xyz Summon a Rank 8 non-Fiend monster using Archfiend Genesis because it's effect preventing me from summoning non-Fiends is not currently in effect? I'm assuming it's not a condition but rather an effect.

Certainly. It is a Phantom Beast, after all.

 

EDIT: Question. If a monster is targeted by Forbidden Lance, and later in the turn Horn of the Phantom Beast is targeted on it, will the "equip" effect of Horn fail, and if so, will Horn stay on the field uselessly forever?

Can I special summon a Malefic Monster if the gravekeeper that turns into a field is face-up? Or do I need a real field spell?

You can special summon it regardless of having a field spell. Garvekeeper's Priestess will not stop it from blowing up as they do require there to be a physical field spell out.
