I know I'm a bit late to this but if Inspector Boarder is on the field with no extra deck monsters in play that means Ancient Gear monsters can't activate the effects that shut down spell and trap cards until the end of the damage step right?
it says previously activated that turn, that seems to imply all effects that turn count towards the total including those activated before inspect border hit the field, similar to summon breaker counting the total per turn not only those that occurred while it was face up
7:30 you have to notice what you said earlier. If you summon electrumite there are TWO different types on the field, Inspector Boarder AND Electrumite, link and effect monster. That should mean electrumite can activate because its your second effect.
If Inspector Boarder applied to effect monsters, it would basically be useless since your opponent could summon an effect monster while being able to activate its effect.
So I saw a video recently that said you can activate multiple effects in one chain because inspector border only checks on resolution. I know this is an old video but I'm curious now
Ok so correct me if i am wrong from what i understood. This basically means that the possible limit of activated effects is 11? while inspector boarder is on the field obviously.
Also Inspector Boarder cannot prevent continuous effects either. Say Dark Magician, The Dragon Knight is in play, after I summoned Inspector Boarder first. Because DM, The Dragon Knight’s effect is continuous that means Inspector Boarder can’t prevent that cuz it’s active period and doesn’t require activation to be used. Just an example and I feel that should have been mentioned in the video. But great explanation nonetheless.
I don’t have any particular love for the left out card types, but I do wonder how it might make a difference in the competitive scene if Inspector Boarder included them. Those spirit pendulums might be a little more attractive.
5:51 do you mean that if there are 2 synchros on the field then each player can activate 2 monster effects? I thought they all have to be different types.
If i have Inspector Boarder out on the field, can I special summon a Danger monster from my hand? Not sure since the effect starts in the hand and not on the field itself. Thanks!
1 pen 1 effect. 2 pen 1 effect. 1 pen, 1 XYZ = 2 effect. If you had 1 pen & 1 XYZ, and you use 1 effect and then link them off so now it's 1 link, now it's 1 link and 1 effect but 1 effect was already used.
So question. Inspector boarder is on the field with no other monster types on the field. I understand that inspector boarder cannot stop summoning condition such as cyber dragon or BLS but what about monsters with summoning conditions that also have a cost like tricky or Galaxy soldier?
The summoning condition is the cost. If it doesn't start at a chain it's considered to be a part of the summoning condition. Tricky doesn't activate so yes you can summon, Galaxy soldier cannot, because he activates by paying cost. Notice the ; as cost.
So if you have an extra deck monster does that mean you can active an effect once per turn or just once total until you summon another monster listed on inspector Boarder?
so wait, if they have a fusion monster and use an effect and then turn that fusion into an xyz and use and effect can they go back into fusion monster again for another effect? this guy is rough stuff right here. or does boarder work like "you got one monster so that's one effect, you'll now need to keep that monster type, on the field and summon another monster before you'll get a second effect?"
Simplify it down. Just look at the board. And count the number effects you have used. Number of correct monster types on the board: Total effects used: If you have a link. Then it would be 1:0 If u use an effect while that one link is on board then it will be 1:1. If the link gets removed now and turns into a fusion. Still it's 1:1 because you don't have 2 types it's still just 1. If you lose the fusion, then now it's 0:1. If there was an XYZ and link now then it would be 2:1 and u can activate 1 more effect.
kori kahalani again, inspector boarder doesn't negate, it prevents activation. Under the circumstances that those are the only 2 monsters. If you activate ABC buster to banish inspector, you will need to wait til the effect resolves, then in a new chain u can tribute to summon 3 dudes. Once he's gone the count is gone.
Hey, you look like you’ve dropped some serious lbs since this video was made. was looking for some info on this card, and that’s what I ended up noticing more. Congrats.
Counter fairies are mostly continuous effects. Sooo...Artemis still gets the draw, Minerva still gains attack and bring a CT from grave to hand, Melteil still gains lp and pops a card, and valkyria still searches....is that right?
Say for example, I normal inspector boarder and then pass in cyber dragons, if he lives to the next turn can I link him away for seiger and boarder’s effect ends?
you can activate monster effects to the amount of monster types. If there are only fusions on the field, you can only activate 1 effect. If there are fusions and links you can activate 2 etc. Not hard dude.
If Inspector Boarder becomes relevant (and it will) a very easy out to it is instant fusion into Thousand Eyes and slurp up Inspector Boarder. Gets rid of a very nuisance card for literally no resources
ignacio gutierrez mosqueira I was wondering why they changed the text at all So this works normal Lonefire->veiler target Lonefire->Lonefire effect->cost tribute->no special because negated by veiler?
yes. it is changed a little bit. just the part in the endphase. now you cant "dodge" veiler with bujin yamato, as an example, because veiler counts till the end of the endphase.
Ralph Jordan you're wrong. Cards that activate on the field are negated by effect veiler, even if they tribute themselves. Veiler doesn't work vs cards that activate in the grave, such as neptabyss's effect when he gets tributed, but veiler does work vs cards like rescue rabbit, lonefire, infernoid monsters (but infernoid monsters besides onuncu can just tribute themselves in response to veiler)
As long as you currently control no monsters at the time you activate souls charge because soul charge summons simultaneously, so boarder still regards the field as being empty
Elias Depends... If inspector boarder and Omega are both on the field. Total counted monster type is 1. So I guess, but you won't be able to activate anymore monsters until the card type count is 2 for only 1 additional effect on the same turn.
Because inspector boarder says a player can only activate monster effects "less than" the amount of monster types on the field, doesn't that mean that even if there is 1 monster type on the field, then by definition of "less than", only 0 monster effects can be activated and that it isn't until 2 monster types are on the field that a player can activate just 1 monster effect?
When there is 1 type, and you HAVEN'T Activated anything, then You can activate ONE monster effect... Because 0 is less than 1. If there are 2 types then you can activate 2 monster effects. ... You're method of counting is "PreCounting" which is incorrect. Neither player can activated effect unless the number of effects they have previously activated is less than to total monster on the field. The cap isn't to remain below, but to match the number before it locks you out.
You're totally right dude. As logic would have it, then that would be the only way it makes sense. Was wondering myself that very same question. And i personally thought it activated in the very same way up until now, untill i saw the reply. And if the ruling on this would be as Tombox replied to you, then their wording is incorrect and they should alter it, or correct the ruling in the future. Because it clearly outright states on the card that is has to be effects than you are allowed to activate "LESS than the amount of (types)on the field..." which would in turn imply that if only 1 monster type was present on the field eg. effect monster for all intensive purposes, you should be able to activate less than that 1 type present on the field, ergo 0. Otherwise it should clearly state "Up to.. the amount of types of cards on the field", not less than if the ruling on this is intended as tombox said, then they need to hit the drawing board again imho.
ShamanElementalLord you hit my interpretation of the card right in the bullseye. I'm not wholly convinced of tombox's explanation because I'm interpreting the card at face value. And if konami did want us to think otherwise they should have said "up to" instead of "less than". Additionally The "pre-counting" explanation isn't strong enough of an argument in my mind; I've yet to hear of anyone else use "pre counting" as a ruling for another card that has been released in the game (correct me if I'm wrong tho). However I'm sure everyone can agree that konami needs to make sure they're wording on cards need not create so much confusion.
Can any of you read lol? You can activate an effect if the previous number activated is less than. It doesn't say "if your effect as well would still be less than". If previous number is 1 and there are 2 types then 1 < 2 so you can activate an effect. That would be the second effect.

this card still got me confused.
when you need a college degree to play Yugioh*
hahahahaha true man
RIP me then
I realize it is pretty randomly asking but does anyone know of a good site to stream new series online ?
Thank you for clarifying this card, This was on my mind for a minute now so now we are informed! Thx
Hey buddy if you are being held against your will blink twice...
I am fine, just a little sick.
Love this. Do more of these rulings
Inspector Boarder+There Can Be Only One is pretty much sheer death.
thanks bro clarifying his effect
Thank you man . I finally understand this card .its one of the most complicated card texts
So instant fusion into thousand eyes absorb or the wind invoked to turn it off works?
yes if i read it right
Love you Tombox
I know I'm a bit late to this but if Inspector Boarder is on the field with no extra deck monsters in play that means Ancient Gear monsters can't activate the effects that shut down spell and trap cards until the end of the damage step right?
Yoooooo I never knew Tom Box was this big. Congrats on the weight loss
it says previously activated that turn, that seems to imply all effects that turn count towards the total including those activated before inspect border hit the field, similar to summon breaker counting the total per turn not only those that occurred while it was face up
"Only count effects that were activated while this monster was face-up on the field." This is the last sentence written on the card.
I got something out of this video, thanks man
7:30 you have to notice what you said earlier. If you summon electrumite there are TWO different types on the field, Inspector Boarder AND Electrumite, link and effect monster. That should mean electrumite can activate because its your second effect.
An effect monster does not count toward the total. It must be a ritual/fusion/synchro/xyz/pendulum/link monster. Inspector Boarder is none of those.
sam schmitz ah alright thanks
If Inspector Boarder applied to effect monsters, it would basically be useless since your opponent could summon an effect monster while being able to activate its effect.
No way this thing can stop Crimson Nova the Dark Cubic Lord due to his "3000 or Less Atk" ability in which he's unaffected by this Puny thing!
Can I set inspector boarder then on my next turn flip it up and use danger monsters hand effects
So I saw a video recently that said you can activate multiple effects in one chain because inspector border only checks on resolution. I know this is an old video but I'm curious now

Those spirit pendulums might be a little more attractive.
Also excited for the upcoming content!
okay so my opponent has inspector boarder on the field - can I normal summon Stratos and use its effect?
No, effect monsters don't count towards the monster card type count.
This card pulled put turn 1 with an equip card supporting it and defense zone in play = Auto-Win
5:51 do you mean that if there are 2 synchros on the field then each player can activate 2 monster effects? I thought they all have to be different types.
I don't think that they could have put it any more complicated than that
Still thank you ✌️
If i have Inspector Boarder out on the field, can I special summon a Danger monster from my hand? Not sure since the effect starts in the hand and not on the field itself.
Thanks!
I don’t think you can
in that example wouldnt they have to activations because they have a link plus your inspector border? effect mon + link mon?
admin on duelingbook recently told me that its count the number on the field so 1 pend=1 eff, etc
1 pen 1 effect. 2 pen 1 effect. 1 pen, 1 XYZ = 2 effect.
If you had 1 pen & 1 XYZ, and you use 1 effect and then link them off so now it's 1 link, now it's 1 link and 1 effect but 1 effect was already used.
Weird that effect monsters and normal monsters aren't monster card types. Guess their not monster cards? 🤔
So question.
Inspector boarder is on the field with no other monster types on the field. I understand that inspector boarder cannot stop summoning condition such as cyber dragon or BLS but what about monsters with summoning conditions that also have a cost like tricky or Galaxy soldier?

So if you have an extra deck monster does that mean you can active an effect once per turn or just once total until you summon another monster listed on inspector Boarder?
KFish1990 yes, you can activate 1 effect per type currently on the field
so wait, if they have a fusion monster and use an effect and then turn that fusion into an xyz and use and effect can they go back into fusion monster again for another effect? this guy is rough stuff right here.
or does boarder work like "you got one monster so that's one effect, you'll now need to keep that monster type, on the field and summon another monster before you'll get a second effect?"
Simplify it down. Just look at the board. And count the number effects you have used.
Number of correct monster types on the board:
Total effects used:
If you have a link.
Then it would be 1:0
If u use an effect while that one link is on board then it will be 1:1. If the link gets removed now and turns into a fusion. Still it's 1:1 because you don't have 2 types it's still just 1.
If you lose the fusion, then now it's 0:1. If there was an XYZ and link now then it would be 2:1 and u can activate 1 more effect.
@@MSTTV what a god. Ty for your help I genuinely don't have words to describe my thanks
Hey quick question... If I use ABC buster to banish the inspector border then tribute it off will it go through ?
kori kahalani again, inspector boarder doesn't negate, it prevents activation. Under the circumstances that those are the only 2 monsters. If you activate ABC buster to banish inspector, you will need to wait til the effect resolves, then in a new chain u can tribute to summon 3 dudes. Once he's gone the count is gone.
I made a deck around this card waiting to try it out at my locals in teo days
Hey, you look like you’ve dropped some serious lbs since this video was made. was looking for some info on this card, and that’s what I ended up noticing more. Congrats.
I lost 50 lbs.
I would like to teach people how since I did it while doing RUclips, working 9to5 and maintaining whatever a social life is.
Counter fairies are mostly continuous effects. Sooo...Artemis still gets the draw, Minerva still gains attack and bring a CT from grave to hand, Melteil still gains lp and pops a card, and valkyria still searches....is that right?
I have to say Yes, nothing activated.. those actions just happen as a part of a continuous effect.
Say for example, I normal inspector boarder and then pass in cyber dragons, if he lives to the next turn can I link him away for seiger and boarder’s effect ends?
Mama Moosa boarder effect ends when its not on the field
Can inspector boarder stop mandatory effects or mandatory flip effects?
Yes they can't activate. So they just won't if you've reached your limit.
Still lil confuse about this cards
I might be a little late for this but the sound quality is a lot better what are you using it sounds great
How about continuing effect like Jinoz and fossil dino? What happen since their effect dont activate.
Boarder only stops activations not continous effect
Inspector boarder affects the monsters? It limits monster unaffected by other monsters effs?
It affects the player
does this mean you stop "Master Peace, the True Dracoslaying King" unaffected by monster effects
it should say "All Drain" unless you control an extra deck monster XD oh and pendulums and rituals ...summon this guy then dont worry about Ash (:
so if i control inspector my op summpns a xyz card ; there will be 2 types on the field. then can my op use 2 efs ?
No. It doesn't count regular effect monsters.. check the card text to see what it counts.
hey man? where's the backround you're using in this vid from? it seems oddly familiar. Keep up your content, really interesting vid
Yugituber Harpie King uses it in their videos.
Still makes no sense
Ur just slow lol
In other words it's skill drain,soul drain and mind drain unless you have one of the listed card types
you can activate monster effects to the amount of monster types. If there are only fusions on the field, you can only activate 1 effect. If there are fusions and links you can activate 2 etc. Not hard dude.
If Inspector Boarder becomes relevant (and it will) a very easy out to it is instant fusion into Thousand Eyes and slurp up Inspector Boarder. Gets rid of a very nuisance card for literally no resources
Mitchell Ventura idk what you're on but a card is a resource
people playing boarder control usually have enough backrow stun to say no to a special summon
They'll probably have a Solemn Strike set for Thousand Eyes Restrict.
Does anyone know if Veiler has changed its ruling? It had an errata last year
Narven121 it can only be used in your oponents main phase, aside from that nothing has changed
ignacio gutierrez mosqueira I was wondering why they changed the text at all
So this works normal Lonefire->veiler target Lonefire->Lonefire effect->cost tribute->no special because negated by veiler?
Narven121 No, what part of "that face-up monster your opponent controls has its effects negated" is confusing?
yes. it is changed a little bit. just the part in the endphase. now you cant "dodge" veiler with bujin yamato, as an example, because veiler counts till the end of the endphase.
Ralph Jordan you're wrong. Cards that activate on the field are negated by effect veiler, even if they tribute themselves. Veiler doesn't work vs cards that activate in the grave, such as neptabyss's effect when he gets tributed, but veiler does work vs cards like rescue rabbit, lonefire, infernoid monsters (but infernoid monsters besides onuncu can just tribute themselves in response to veiler)
what if i normal summon archfiend eccentric to pop a monster would her leaving stop the effect?
No... It doesn't stop any effects. It stops prevents activation, once activate you are going to remove normally.
cool ty
Can you use Soul Charge to revive an Inspector Boarder and 1 or more other monsters?
colton ellis Yes why wouldn't you be able to
As long as you currently control no monsters at the time you activate souls charge because soul charge summons simultaneously, so boarder still regards the field as being empty
Ok now i kinda understand. But wha if my opponent has 4 pendelum monsters? Can he only use 1 effect or 4?
1 effect, monster card type (4 pendulum = 1 monster card type)
MST.TV ty i missunderstood it you helped me and many players thanks a lot
Sorry still confused. So if i link, activate its eff, link with the link, i cant activate its eff?
No
Psy frame player here. Can i use omegas effect while inspector is on the field
Elias Depends... If inspector boarder and Omega are both on the field. Total counted monster type is 1. So I guess, but you won't be able to activate anymore monsters until the card type count is 2 for only 1 additional effect on the same turn.
what if you have zark
so zarc offers 4 card types -> 4 times to activate monster effects right?
Giakhanh Duongmac zarc is a Fusion pendulum monster - > 2 effects. Zarc is only in the anime a fusion syncro xyz pendulum monster.
I didn't know this is a yugioh video
Can you downbeat into this card?
There's a kaiju for that
theres a fossil dino for you
There's a chalice for you
umm chain imperial order??
not even pot of greed's effect is as hard
Broken?
If there's only a boarder face-up, can my opponent use hand traps?
No that counts as a monster effect being used
No clue of what this card does, we need to boicot this card and get it out of the game.
7:45
What about inherant summon vs inspector boarder
NiteSyndicate inherent summons are not effect activations.
@@nelsonsamuelsanchez figured, that'll help me get kristya out on the board too xD.
