Yu-Gi-Oh! Rulings Questions


Recommended Posts

You're thinking about it the right way for the first issue.  You just have to play it by sequence.  For example, Ring of Destruction first destroys, then if it was, it damages.  Confirmation of destruction implies the card was previously destroyed.  As such, Magician would no longer be face up on the field to negate the damage.

 

However, in a case such as C103, the damage happens first, so Magician will stop the damage, and since you the damage was never inflicted, C103 cannot move to the next part of it's effect in which it banishes the target.

 

To answer your second question, I direct your attention here, specifically to the "perform damage calculation" section: http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Damage_Step

 

 

 

Players compare the relevant ATK/DEF values and take the appropriate amount of damage, and if two monsters are involved in battle, then it is determined which monster(s) will be destroyed by the battle or not.

Note that if a monster has been determined to be destroyed by battle, it is not sent to the Graveyard yet.

 

So since Damage is calculated and applied before Magician can be actually sent to the graveyard, and therefore all continuous effect are still active until it is physically moved to the grave.  Therefore, you would not take damage from that battle, so long as the damage you would receive does not exist Magician's attack of course.

Why are negated pendulums sent to the graveyard? I don't understand why this is the case.

If a Pendulum Monster Card on the field would be sent to the Graveyard, it is added to the Extra Deck face-up instead.

 

A monster whose Summon is negated, and a Spell/Trap Card whose activation is negated (including cards activated in the Pendulum Zone), are not considered to have been on the field. They would be sent to the Graveyard, but they were not cards on the field, so even if they are Pendulum Monster Cards, they are not instead added face-up to the Extra Deck.

To further elaborate, the effects weren't the cause of your issue.  It's the fact that the summon itself was negated.  If you Breakthrough Skill a Pendulum Monster, then destroy it, it still goes to the extra deck.  However if you Solemn Strike said monster, it goes to the grave instead of the extra deck specifically because strike negated the summon

Ruling question:

 

Can a monster like Cyber Dragon Infinity be used to negate a monster who's effect activates DURING damage calculation? Aka Samurai Soulbuster Gauntlet or Honest?

 

According to the wiki, I think the answer is yes. http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Damage_Step#Cards_and_effects_that_can_be_activated

 

 

Quick Effects of monsters that negate the activation of a card(s) or effect(s).

Though I'm not 100% on this, since during damage calc is a tricky thing.

CDI can negate both Soulbuster Gauntlet and Honest's effects that activate during the Damage Step, but those effects don't activate during damage calculation.

No, it's in the Damage Step before that. Only cards that say damage calculation specifically may be used here, with some exceptions like cards that negate activations.

 

According to the Wiki, that statement is false depending on format:

http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Card_Rulings:Honest

(at the very top of the page in a little box titled "The TCG and OCG rulings contradict each other")

 

So if this scenario is using TCG rulings, the question becomes if you can activate a quick trigger effect during damage calculation.  I'm not sure.  If it's OCG rulings, then this would actually happen in the damage step before damage calc, and CDI can negate it.

If my opponent activates MST on my set Artifact Sanctum, and I chain Sanctum and Special Summon a monster, does MST still technically pop Sanctum and allow me to pop an opponent's monster?

Yep, unless specified by the card effects in the chain, cards to not physically leave the field until the chain is completely resolved, and therefore Sanctum is still on the field to be destroyed by MST.

If I have a monster equipped with two U.A. Powered Jerseys, can I get 3 attacks, like you activate one after you hit the first monster, and then activate the second after you hit another monster?

 

Powered Jersey specifies a second attack rather than another attack, therefore you can only get that effect once

Does the effect of Number 81 prevent the effect of Raid Raptor Rise Falcon from gaining ATK when targeting it?

I'd say no, since dora only makes itself/ falcon (in this context) unaffected by other card effects besides their own. Rise doesn't do anything to dora, so it gains ATK and moves on. Rise is using it's own effect, so it gains ATK and moves on.
