For people that think they got them all right...... I'm sorry but there is an error in the quiz, so let's take them 1 by 1 to find it out while also clarifying some rulings that got the right result for the "almost right" reason. #1: Correct. for future reference, "Costs have to be paid EXACTLY the way they are written". For example that's the reason you can't activate "Forbidden Droplet" at all under "Dimensional Shifter". #2: Correct. The problem here isn't that you can't get Extra Deck monsters to your hand, otherwise a card like "Compulsory Evacuation Device" would work only on Main Deck monsters. The problem here is that the result of "Thomas" would be adding "Machinex" from the Extra deck (face-up) to the Extra Deck (face-down), so it wouldn't change location at all. Since you can't activate cards for no reason (just like "Dark Hole" while no monster is on the field), you can't activate this effect (even though it would change the card from face-up to face-down). #3: Correct. #4: Wrong. Link Monsters just ignore the part of the effect that would involve their DEF stat. So Link Monsters are valid targets for "King Tell" 's effect and it will resolve as much as possible (lowering their ATK only, then inflicting 1000 damage). Don't confuse this with effects that have to do about "DEF position" that can't be applied at all to Link Monsters" (like "Book of Moon" or "Bagooska"). This is an official OCG ruling in general. #5: Correct. Generally for a card to apply its "on field" effects, the effect that places that card on the field needs to resolve first (that specific chain link). It doesn't matter if the last part of the effect has "THEN", meaning that the previous part of the effect was successful. _BONUS: The only exception to this is cards like "Tri-brigade Revolt" that have the specific text "immediately after this effect resolves, DO X", and if you read it properly makes sense because the followup effect tries to apply after the previous effect fully resolved. You can think about this kind of effects as x.5 between chains. For example if Chain Link 1 is "MST targeting set Revolt" and Chain Link 2 "Revolt", then when resolving the chain CL2 will summon the monsters to the field, "CL1.5" will perform the Link Summon, then CL1 MST will pop Revolt. Take this "x.5" with a huge grain of salt, just like "inherent summons" and "fizzle"._ #6: Correct. Exactly as the above, Rage's damage prevention hasn't applied yet to your field because Gil's effect is still resolving. #6.5 (bonus tip): Correct. This ISN'T a "Konami said so". Rage is unfortunately a little mistranslated to the TCG. When reading him it's better to read his effects as the following: ● Your opponent cannot activate card effects *FROM* their hand or GY. ● Your opponent cannot activate cards or *THE* effects *OF CARDS THAT ARE ALREADY* in the Spell & Trap Zones. It is like "Altergeist Hextia" or "Topologic Zerovoros" that got errata'd (the most recent ones about mistranslation and not balancing..... unlike "Imperial Order"). This explains both rulings about Imperm/Evenly. #7: Correct. Just like with "Lyrilusc Recital Starling" and "Assembled Nightingale", think of the effects as "layers" with the lowest one always being prevention. All effects that would alter the outcome of the "battle/effect" damage will first be calculated, and finally if it were to happen the protection would kick in. In a similar manner, cards that PREVENT ACTIONS have the final word in the gamestate, that's why "Artifact Lancea" will overrule even an already resolved "Shifter", even if it is only for 1 turn and "Shifter" would work on the next. #8: Correct (verified by the entire Yang Zing community) #9: Correct. I liked how i also used these exact examples (Increase and Anguish in an other comment) #10: Correct.
Really interesting concept of video. As someone experienced with the deck, could figure them out. But made me realise alot of people would definitely question alot of the little mechanics if they werent familiar
That was really tough! Good thing i am already subscribed so i didn't have to do it :p For the last one i'm a bit confused? So you can steal any Pendulum Monster that is activated in the Pend Zone? Why are you able to do so? I mean Odd-Eyes doesnt activate any Effect. I'm confused x.x
SPOILERS, basically when you activate let's say toon world, even though the card has no effects it's still treated as activating it's effect, although it does literally nothing, so in that same way when you place a pend monster in a scale it is treated as activating a spell effect that does nothing. And because pendulum monsters are originally monsters and not spells/traps Machinex can attach them to itself as material. I hope I explained it well enough ^_^. Furthermore if they activate an effect of a scale and you chain Machinex, you can attach the scale and the scale will not resolve because it needs to stay face up on the field (unless it blows itself up for cost if such a card exists)
I got them all right but I was already subscribed lol 👍the reason you can’t activate imperm in that scenario is the cause the wording on imperm says if you control not cards, you can activate this card from your HAND.
yes but imperm is a trap card, and trap cards activate in the spell/and trap zones, even if you use imperm from hand you still have to place it in a spell/trap zone...
If link monsters can be targeted by king tell, which they should since links are ‘unaffected’ by def changes (not prevents the card from resolving), I got all of them right, but I’ll subscribe anyway for more DDD content
Will you be talking about D/D/D deck building again in the near future? Still having trouble with a few card placements and testing has been inconclusive on my end
I guess more importantly to start off with is piri reis map vs small world. Small world forces you to play with fewer cards, but it gets many things, whereas piri gets a savant but halves your life points and it must be the first thing to happen. Do you prefer one to another?
@@badcompany5132 I like small world way more, a lot of the times I don't even have to use it, and sometimes I just search a better hand trap at the end of my combo, if i know what I'm playing against. Piri telegraphs to your opponent what you are going to do, for instance if you go piri into kepler, they know that you probably need that kepler, so if you normal it they can ash knowing that they will hit your important card. (now yes, you could have piri rei just as bait but it's a bait that costs you 4k, + if you do full combo you take 2k more... All in all it's not a bad card but I personally just like small world better...
In reference to question 10, you are not using odd-eyes' effect in the scale and deus can still take it? Does that mean machinex can just take scales if your opponent activates them from hand?

The interaction deus machinex and the penedl monster just came up yesterday while my friend was playing tri- Luna light
That poor poor tiger :(

Yes, yes it does.. that's the biggest reason I made this video, because I wanted people to know about that interaction...
@@Thundernumel Thank you so much, I wouldn't have identified the monster card text ruling besides!
Dammit! Now I have to subscribe because I missed questions 5, 8 and 9 lol
