Yu-Gi-Oh! Rulings Questions


Recommended Posts

Noob question:

 

Can anyone tell me which card is better in lightsworn decks? Threatening roar or swords of revealing light. I know most people use threatening but I think that they're the same except swords effect last 3 turns. Feel free to flame me if i'm being noobish.

 

The problem with Swords of Revealing Light is that it is vulnerable to s/t destruction, whereas TR can simply be chained to anything that is about to remove it from the field, which almost completely guarantees you to be safe for a turn.

 

Another thing is that TR can be activated whenever you think it's necessary, while you'll have to predict when Swords is important. You might be thinking, at some point, that Swords isn't necessary just yet, and are planning to activate it next turn to get the best use out of it. If your opponent OTKs you the next turn, you're simply funked. TR can be set as long as you want w/o drawbacks.

 

However, I do have to agree with cliff'em all that Necro Gardna is better in LS, because they get it for free. If you have place for defensive cards, Necro Gardnas have a higher priority than TRs.

 

And finally, in fun play, where destruction is rarely seen, Swords might very well be a better choice. So if you play with your friends, and you know that they don't run close to no cards that can destroy your s/ts, feel free to use Swords anyways. Just not in competitive play.

But if a Konami representative said that' date=' doesn't that make it official?

 

Didn't change it during the UDE vs. KDE thing. I mean, where are the [i']official[/i] TCG rulings? Why does Wikia only link to OCG rulings as sources?

 

UDE took them down, and the representative said that there's no official place to look up rulings on old cards.

 

Newer cards ARE sourced, because their source is still there.

I have a quick question. For the card Question, does the opponent have to say the EXACT name of the monster at the bottom of the Graveyard, let's say, when played in an actual tournament? For example, let's say "Beiige, Vanguard of Dark World" is at the bottom of the Graveyard. Does the opponent have to say EXACTLY "Beiige, Vanguard of Dark World" or can they just get away by saying "Beiige"?

This depends on how nice you are/what the judge at the tournament thinks.

 

However, if there was another card with "Beiige" in its name that might have been played, I'm sure that the opponent couldn't get away with that.

Based on the rulings for mind crush, I believe you're allowed to say short versions as long as they could only be applied to one card.

Upon reading the quoted message, I searched and found no ruling of the sort.

I thought the ruling was for Prohibition, not Mind Crush?

 

At any rate, I remember it too. It basically said that a shortened version of the name is fine as long as it's unambiguous, i.e. "Raiza" would be fine but "Monarch" would not.

Can I use a card (Monster Reborn, Premature, Call, etc) to special summon Black Luster Envoy of the Beginning from the graveyard as long as I also remove 1 light and 1 dark monster from my graveyard as well? (assuming it has already been properly special summoned from my hand) or is it just a one time special summon from the hand?

 

Also, if it hasn't been special summoned properly, and is just dumped to the graveyard with Card Trooper, etc, can I special summon it from the graveyard with Premature/Call, etc, as long as I remove a light and dark?

 

Or, is there no removal of light and dark required when special summoning it from the graveyard?

Rules about semi-nomis:

They say: This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card can only be Special Summoned by

In order to summon them from the Graveyard, they must have been summoned the way they say first. After that you can Special Summon them from the Graveyard by other effects. When they are special summoned from the graveyard, their cost doesn't have to be paid again.

 

BLS-EotB is a semi-nomi.

 

^ You cannt special sumnmon them from the graveyard.

 

only from hand;

 

That's only true with nomi's. BLS-EotB, CED,EotE, and Chaos Sorcerer are all semi-nomis.
