Yu-Gi-Oh! Rulings Questions

My opponent summons Constellar Leonis. I activate Fiendish Chain in response and target it. My opponent says that he can still use the normal summon because it was already activated. Is this the case?

 

It is not the case. Leonis' effect does not activate; it is a Continuous Effect. As such, if it is negated by Fiendish Chain, your opponent cannot use that effect to conduct a Normal Summon.

 

Your opponent may have been thinking of Constellar Pollux, where activating Fiendish Chain and targeting Pollux in response to its Normal Summon would not stop your opponent from conducting a Normal Summon that turn using Pollux's effect.

 

In the same duel, my opponent summons Constellar Sombre and I activate Compulsory Evacuation Device and target it. My opponent still activates its effect saying that it gets priority. I thought turn priority wasn't a thing anymore.

 

If your opponent Summons Constellar Sombre, you can activate Compulsory Evacuation Device before your opponent can activate its Ignition Effect. If Sombre is then returned to the hand, its Ignition Effect cannot be activated.

If I activate gagaga gardna's effect from my hand (to special summon it) and my opponent chains vanities emptyness, does my gagaga gardna stay in hand or does it get sent to the gy or what?

Gardna stays in the hand, vanitys doesnt allow you to Special Summon it thats it. Its not like a negation /destruction effect

What happens if you use Cursed Seal of the Forbidden Spell against a Pendulum?

[Azuriena]

What happens if you use Cursed Seal of the Forbidden Spell against a Pendulum?

 

If you activate Cursed Seal of the Forbidden Spell in response to a Spell Card that was activated in the Pendulum Zone, that Spell Card's activation is negated and it is destroyed. For the rest of the Duel, your opponent will not be able to activate Spell Cards with the same name as the card Cursed Seal destroyed, including in the Pendulum Zone as a Spell Card.

 

Note that a Pendulum Monster with the same name as the cards Cursed Seal prevents from being activated can still be Summoned as a monster or be placed in the Pendulum Zone by your opponent.

Burgesstomas vs Graydles. What happens?

Burgesstomas vs Graydles. What happens?

You gotta be more specific in what you're asking, I am not entirely sure what you mean. I am guessing you mean what happens if they equip themselves. Well, they will take control of them, they are not monsters anymore, so they're not unaffected by them.

Noble Arms vs Cursed Seal of Forbidden Magic

 

1. When Cursed Seal destroys a Noble Arm after negating it, does it get to return to the field? I'm pretty sure it doesn't.

 

2. I use Cursed Seal on Excaliburn. Does Excaliburn get its graveyard effect?

 

3. I use Cursed Seal on Caliburn. When my opponent XYZ summons a Noble Knight XYZ monster. Can that monster get Caliburn back?

1.- no it doesnt come back, the noble arms can only return if he were destroyed while they were face-up on the field (which never happens because the activation is being negated)

 

2.- Cursed seal only prevents the activation of a spell card, that effect of excaliburn doesnt count as an activation of a spell, so i supose it can bypass cursed seal

 

3.- Yes (as far as i know), the noble arms are equiped without being activated

Can Apoqliphort Towers be tributed as a cost (to Activate "Advanced Draw")?

Can Apoqliphort Towers be tributed as a cost (to Activate "Advanced Draw")?

Yup, costs are not effects, it isn't unaffected by that.

I activate the effect of Fire King Avatar Yaksha and destroy a Kozmo spaceship in my hand. Does the spaceship get its effect? I mean, it doesn't specify from the field, so I assume yes.

Yes.

If you set a spell card, then activate anti-spell fragrance afterward, can the spell that you just set be activated this turn? 

[Azuriena]

If you set a spell card, then activate anti-spell fragrance afterward, can the spell that you just set be activated this turn? 

 

A Spell Card that was Set before Anti-Spell Fragrance resolves can be activated in the same turn.

Fusion Conscription question: If you reveal a card in which a material is Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon (if that's even possible), can you really add any Pendulum monster from your Deck/Graveyard to your hand? If not, can you give a good explanation as to why not? A guy tried pulling this on DN but I couldn't find a good resource to explain why Fusion Conscription isn't a tutor for nearly every monster in the game.

You cannot reveal Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon with Fusion Conscription and add, say, Stargazer Magician from your Deck to your hand because, for one, Stargazer Magician is not a Fusion Material listed on Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon. Fusion Conscription only adds Fusion Materials listed on the revealed Fusion Monster.

 

Stargazer Magician fits the "Pendulum Monster" classification of Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon's Fusion Material, but it is not the actual Fusion Material listed on the card.

You cannot reveal Vortex Dragon for Conscription. The reasons are the same as for Elemental HERO Prisma, it must have a name to be revealed. I believe the reasoning is that it's not technically listed on the card if it isn't by name.

If you do not excavate any monsters that can be normal summoned, what happens during the resolution of Reasoning?

[Dragulas]

If you do not excavate any monsters that can be normal summoned, what happens during the resolution of Reasoning?

If im not mistaken, you must have a monster in your main deck that can be normal summoned to be able to activate reasoning

But in the case that the monster(s) that could be summoned by reasoning left your deck at resolution you will mill the entire deck

[Azuriena]

But in the case that the monster(s) that could be summoned by reasoning left your deck at resolution you will mill the entire deck

 

No, in that case the excavated cards are shuffled back into the Deck.

[Atypical-Abbie]

Just to clear this all up, you CANNOT activate it if you don't have any monsters. Should you do so illegally, a judge will issue a warning for PE-minor or look into cheating if necessary. If you can indeed activate it, but the only monster in your Deck somehow leaves it before Reasoning resolves, you shuffle those excavated cards back into the Deck. No warning is issued here, since it was legally activated, but it just cannot resolve.

Chain Link question regarding Shaddoll Falco and Sinister Shadow Games:

 

Situation: I have a face-down Shaddoll Falco and SInister Shadow Games on the field, the Trap was Set the previous turn so it can be activated. Also there are no targets for Falco in the grave.

Action: Activate Shadow Games, sending, let's say, Shaddoll Beast, to the grave and then flipping Falco face-up.

 

What happens then?

A. SEGOC occurs, and I get to arrange Beast's and Falco's effect in a chain? Naturally, I would choose Falco as CL1 so Beast's draw effect resolves first.

B. Since Beast was the first to happen, according to TCG rules it's forced to become CL1, and Falco's effect becomes CL2, removing Beast before the card draw effect goes off?

C. The above happens, but I get Beast's card draw anyway since the effect doesn't state that Beast must remain on the grave to resolve?

[Atypical-Abbie]

As you said, in the TCG it must be Beast CL1, Falco CL2. As both effects have already activated, at no point would they be removed before they could activate or resolve, so they both do it. Unless it's something that specifically states it must be face-up/in the Graveyard, if it activated, it'll resolve.
