Another misplay with Yellow Marten that I've been guilty of for some time until someone told me. Yellow Marten CANNOT search for Luna Light Perfume, since Perfume is considered to NOT be a "Lunalight" card. Just so you know
KaiNaruKami the thing is most people don’t read cards they think suck. Regardless if people make posts about it because they disregard the post if it has to do anything with that “bad” archetype. People only care about good cards. Example is lunalight no one cares about that archetype and used to laugh at you for playing it or felt bad if you beat them with it except the die hard lunalight players and only now it’s being covered because it won a ycs.
A ruling that many people aren't aware of, is that you lose a duel if you're not subscribed to MST.TV. If you and your opponent are both subscribed, the duel may continue as intended.
You realize, we are in the era of sniffing condoms, eating tide pods and doing the bird box challenge in busy parking lots right?! Reading a card wrong or not fully doesn't surprise me.
Wow you didn’t hit the most illegally forgotten part of extravagance: at the START of your MP1. People keep trying to activate it whenever when in reality it has to be the first card to be activated.
I haven't seen that issue, most people get called out on that and they don't get away with it. The most illegals plays are the ones people get away with.
@@RealMerlin28 Wrong. Turn player has priority to make an action in any open game state where priority has not been passed, an example of which is the first action in Main Phase 1.
@@RealMerlin28 changing of phase during your opponent turn doesnt triggers the RUM actuvation. Ur opponent have the turn priority to do something first.
@@RealMerlin28 Change of phase doesn't cause a chain or a pass of priority. Attempting to change phase implies a pass of priority, but anything that happens in response to that attempt happens in the phase you're in, not the phase you're going to. Once the cards activated at change of phase resolve, it stays the same phase and the turn player has priority again.
Kind of reminds me of Dark Magician players play 2 Dark Magic Circle in the same turn for the look up effect when the card says only once per turn for look up effect and banish effect.
All newer cards use Problem Solving Card Text. That means Hard Once per Turn will allways be the end of the effect. But if you have older cards (2011 and before) it can be anywhere
This vid was great! Even though it indicates right at the beginning, Idk how I managed to miss that RUM Launch can only be activated in the MP. I was super excited to play RUM Launch in the DP or SP. haha! Thanks, TomBox! And oh. Everytime I watch your rulings vids, I think about the time you baked some cookies. :D
Hey Tombox, you were very helpful in answering my last question, thank you. But I am not sure where the best place to ask this is, but given that this is a rulings video, I thought I'd give it a try: 1. Player A correctly special summons Gouki the Giant Ogre during their turn. 2. Player A says, "I want to enter Battle Phase." 3. Player B says, "OK, but first..." and activates Shiranui Style Swallow's Slash and Tributes their monster to destroy Player A's Giant Ogre and a set backrow (both cards are destroyed and Slash resolves without a reaction). Q: Does Player A's initial declaration of "I want to enter Battle Phase" stand, and the game state immediately progresses to Battle Phase after the opponent's trap resolves? Or, does the game state halt, allowing Player A to then special summon Gouki Ringtrainer to revive the Giant Ogre, for instance? I have been doing some reading this past week and have found several conflicting sources. Page 48 of the rule book clearly states that declaring the end of a phase is the turn player ceding Priority. However, does this mean the turn player has no right to conduct any other actions in Main Phase 1 to react to an opponent's traps, etc immediately before the end of that phase? Or to perform regular actions in an "open game state"? The more I read, the less certain I become.
If the end of a phase gets interrupted, that phase continues as normal afterwards. Eg. The hand size limit only comes into effect at the very end of the turn (end of the End Phase), so normally you can't decide you want to make another action after discarding your 7th card. But say you have 7 cards and declare the end of your turn. You discard Cursed Bamboo Sword. Its effect activates, searching another Bamboo Sword card. You had said you were ending your End Phase, but it has now been interrupted by CBS's activation, so it's still your turn. Now you can play a Quick-Play Spell from your hand, activate a set Trap with a discard cost, etc. before the turn is over. If you don't, you'll have to discard for the hand size limit a second time.
@@MetaKaios Thank you for the detailed response, but I am not completely sure I understand. If I understand you correctly, you're saying that I could not conduct the Gouki Ringtrainer special summon before moving into the Battle Phase? This being the result of my already having declared my intention to shift phases?
@@gerardhill1375 No, after your opponent interrupts, your Main Phase continues as if you hadn't declared the phase change (unless you decide to go to BP anyway). I guess "continues as normal" was kind of ambiguous, huh. Sorry
@@MetaKaios Thank you, yes, that phrase kind of threw me. I originally interpreted you that way but clarification is always good. Much appreciated. Would you happen to know exactly what part of the rulebook or official Konami TCG source actually confirms this? It would help me explain it to others.
@@gerardhill1375 It's described on pg48 of the rulebook: www.yugioh-card.com/en/rulebook/ The part to take note of here is that, if the game is played strictly according to the rules, you cannot actually say "I'm entering the Battle Phase." You would say "I'm passing Priority" to indicate that there is nothing more you want to do in the Main Phase, and are offering your opponent a chance to do something in the Main Phase. Only once your opponent declines that chance does the turn proceed to the Battle Phase. However, pg48 says that for ease of play (so you don't have to say "pass priority" after every single action), you can just say "Battle Phase", and your opponent should interpret that as meaning that you are passing priority. Since technically speaking there is no such thing as declaring that the current Phase is over, you are not bound by such a declaration if it gets interrupted, since once the opponent is done, Priority passes back to you again, and you have to choose to pass again before the Phase can end.
Good to know about that second Lunalight effect I run Lunalights and that was something I would do not to cheat or anything like that but just because I thought that’s how it worked.
Another thing people forget is that Pot of Extravagance can only be used at the beginning of Main Phase 1, so some people set or activate cards and then Pot.
So Kaleido Chick's cost doesn't count as sending Yellow Marten to the GY by a card effect? :O Damn, I've been guilty of plusing from it because I thought it was for some reason. Thanks for the clarification Tombox :)
Detach Yellow Martin from a Redoer to get her search effect. Big brain. Then you remember you can't search Perfume and you dont run Fusion so the only viable target is your one-of Serenade Dance and its only useful if you can discard it.
Hey Tom. I have a question about a Ruling. Why can’t I activate 2 Blue Mountain butterspy whenever I normal summon a warrior? But yet, I can respond with a battle trap as chain link 1 and 3.( My opponent declares an attrack, I activate mirror force, my opponent activates compulsory evac and the I respond with drowning mirror force?)
Great Work on the vid! Hopefully you get better soon! I was wondering about another card ruling/clarification with names, specifically, cards like Prohibition/Psi-Blocker with Cyber Dragon/Harpy Lady. _Prohibition Activate by declaring 1 card name. Cards with that name, and their effects, cannot be used. Cards already on the field are not affected (including face-down cards)._ _Psi-Blocker Once per turn: You can declare 1 card name; cards with that name, and their effects, cannot be used until the End of your opponent's next turn._ I understand how they initially work, hence the wikia, but the question comes from the declaration of a card's name. Cyber Dragon archetype has cards that says "treated as Cyber Dragon while face-up" while Harpy Lady archetype has card that says "This card is always Harpy Lady". Proto Cyber Dragon (PCD) becomes Cyber Dragon, so I'm assuming w/e it's effect (if any) or itself cannot be used, and anything entails by both Prohibition/Psi-Blocker does not allow PCD to be used for anything. Harpy Lady (HL) is already Harpy Lady, I'm also assuming you can't play HL 1, 2, and 3 because they ARE Harpy Lady if Prohibition/Psi-Blocker calls Harpy Lady. So i guess the question is, cards like Harpy Lady can't be played because they ARE Harpy Lady, so does that mean cards like Cyber Dragon Zwei who can be treated as Cyber Dragon through its effect can become Cyber Dragon and activate w/e the effect they have or the Zwei that becomes a "Cyber Dragon" are now unusable (through Prohibition/Psi-Blocker)? Or how does that even work? TY in advance ^^ and hopefully it was clear enough xD for anyone else too, just wanted to make it clear as possible.
Another ruling of pot of extravagance people may not know that actually happened to me at locals: if your opponent chains iron wall to your extravagance or desires, you still banish and get the draws.
@MST.TV One ruling that you may have included concerning the rank up spell, is that if the moster you used it on get destroyed/leaves the field, you dont get to summon anything. Somebody at my locals thought he would get the monster with only one material (the rankup spell). Also on the pot of extavagance, there is the fact that if you get ashed on it, you still cant draw for the rest of the turn, since the card resolved.
6:55 also made the mistake with Extravagance myself one time, activated upstart after and right after I put down the upstart I was like: "Oh, right....."
short question regarding "after this card resolves": Can you still draw cards by card effects during the same turn after Pot of Extravagance got negated 1. by Solemn Judgment? 2. by Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring?
Judgment negates the activation. You can add. Ash is a bit more complicated. Since both drawing and the restriction are part of the same effect you would be able to draw as the pot would resolve negated.
StealJoe the drawing and the restriction arent part of the same effect. There is a “.” Between them. So if you get ashed, you dont draw from the pot, but still cant draw for the rest of the turn. Just like you still discard your hand if you get ashed on your demise.
YGOpro Percy had to rewrite the code for Redoer because they wrote his detaching as a cost. Glad I had a gut feeling that something was up with the game when it came to the card used in a simulator when it was spoiled.
I was told that if a card says "IF this card is sent to the grave: YOU CAN do x" it will miss timing on the card if sent with another card that sends to do something as well. So in the Lunalight example if Kalidochick sends Yellow to grave even if negate Yellow should miss timing...plz correct me if im wrong Also they are putting these once per turn restrictions at the end of cards with long effect text. They should know players dont read the effects thru all the way (i know i am guilty of this) so maybe they should put it at the beggining of the card txt.....
Either you're misremembering or the person who told you had it wrong. "If… you can" effects do not miss timing; only "When… you can" effects do. Yellow Marten still doesn't work in the example though, as explained in the video (as Chick sends it as a cost, not an effect).
one i keep hearing is borreload is unaffected by monster effects i have a score board of how many people say that and i reply read it word for word it says" neither player can target this card with monster effects." or borreload highjacks with it's effect at the start of the damage step when attacking beelze for example they tend to replace "but SEND it to the GY durin the end phase of the next by "destroy it and sent it to the Gy durin the end phase of the next" so um yeah no your not keeping my beelze/borrelsword/3k+ beat stick
Time thief vs. Ash Blossom reminds me of how you can solemn warning macro cosmos, which is still one of my favorite responses in the game. "Bruh I'm not special summoning anything!" Well I don't want you possibly bringing out that Helios boy
Something I've seen very recently: - Trying to use all your monsters as materials to Special Summon something that would be illegal to play under "There Can Be Only One", "Gozen Match" or "Rivalry of the Warlords". The first two happened with Guru Control matchups, which seemed to be somewhat common in a WCQ in France just yesterday. It's not text-related, it's more mechanics-related, so please mention it somewhere?
Also I’ve found that with pot of extravagance you have to make your opponent banish before you respond. Most people will see pot and automatically ash without giving time to pay cost.. in this instance your opponent could banish less cards from extravagance than he originally wanted to because they see the ash is negating it so they will only banish 3 to save room for the other 2 copies... EDIT: assuming he’s playing 3 copies.
If you need to perform an action in the text that is before the ; (semi colon) that is a cost and does not count as an action performed for an effect. Kaleidochick sends to grave is a cost because it is before the ;. Therefore sending Marten to the grave by kaleidochick, doesn't trigger Marten to search.
Love this kind of video ! Shared it to all my yugioh friends cause it's really usefull. It would be super great if you can make some more like every 2 months...0:) Anyway TY for the tips
So another common misplay i have seen on a lot of youtube deck profiles as well as combo tutorials involves shade brigadine. They search the shade off their rusty combo and than flip it up that same turn in order to xyzs summon. As far as i am aware you cannot activate traps the turn you set them. I double checked the rule book in my Sally structure deck to be sure i wasn't tripping. And ya you cannot activate them the turn they are set unless specified in the card text otherwise. I don't recall at any point in that combo there being a card that stated you can activate this card the turn you set it. And i run the deck in question as my main. So this is another huge misplay that if you don't catch it can most likely get you azathot'd on your turn and can in most cases lose you the duel.
I'm gonna let you read shade brigadine..... The card text states u can activate it during the turn it was set when you don't have other traps in your grave.... So yeah.. not a misplay there...
@@MSTTV thanks. I don't have the card and haven't looked it up. That is why i brought it up. They don't explain that part in their videos so i was confused since it's a trap. But thanks for clarifying that.
I'm pretty sure I use Time Thief Redoer correctly. It's interesting to know that detaching an XYZ material is not a cost, but rather, part of the effect itself. You could use something like Forbidden Chalice to negate his effect and keep his XYZ materials
just a question probably a stupid one: if i control 2 time thief redoer's am i stealing 2 cards from my opponents deck during standby phase or only one? so is his first effect a hard or soft once per turn?
@@edgarralor I'm looking around, but I did hear something about turn player priority being a thing due to another ruling. But I can't remember what that ruling was for the life of me. This is going to bug me for the rest of the day.
@@edgarralor Okay so after reading the rules, yes it does seem to be a thing. So basically you can play around Azathot and Kali due to turn player priority.
@@timestarmagician8654 you are correct. Turn player has priority to perform an action during the main phase. Kaijuing the Xyz, summoning pankratops and quick popping the Xyz, or even bight beaming the rank up launch
Wait a second just want to confirm this but when I detach say a raidraptor mimicry lanius from a xyz monster would that be like sending it to the graveyard or not to trigger mimicry's effect to banish for a raidraptor card search?
At my locals, some guy tried to summon Juragedo after I attacked, even tho his effect is it summons itself during either players battle step. He tried to argue that the damage step and damage calc were part of the battle step, even tho there not, right? Doesnt it go attack delc, battle step, damage step, damage calc?
i need help for this case : my opponent attacks with borrelsword my multifaker, i activate kunquery effect in my hand to stop borrelsword and in response to kunquery my opponents activates the effect of borrelsword to change a battle position of his monster,so borrelsword resolve and kunquery too,when i summon kunquery i activate its second effect targetting borrelsword,so borrelsword shouldn't be able to attack cause its effect it's negated and it loses the additional attack ,right?
Another thing that gets me about Time Thief Redoer: The effect says you can detach up to 3 _different_ types of Material. That would indicate you can't detach, say, 2 Monsters and a Spell. Which is baffling due to Konami's article on the card: "So detaching 2 monsters and Spell means Redoer gets banished and you draw a card." yugiohblog.konami.com/articles/?p=9220
Using Time Thief redoer in a skull invitation burn deck, when i detach my opponents materials and they go to the graveyard, would that inflict 300 damage to my opponent? Would this work with Paralyzing Chain as well? How about Fatal Abacus?
I would like to mention that if the second lunalight misplay is indeed a misplay, then D/D/D Oracle King D'Arc does not make you gain life points off of the COST of the dark contract cards.
That’s because the 1000 damage from dark contracts is not a cost. They read “Once per turn, during your standby phase: Take 1000 damage.” Compare this to a card like imperial order, which actually is a cost: “Once per turn, during the standby phase, you must pay 700 LP (this is not optional) or this card is destroyed.” In the case of imperial order, it’s paying life points as cost. In the case of dark contracts, it’s inflicting burn damage to you with an effect.
Fun question; What is the difference between Pot of Extravagance's "You cannot draw any other cards this turn." to Protector of the Sanctuary's "Your opponent cannot draw cards" restriction, and why does one allow you to use cards like Card Destruction to have your opponent discard their hand and gain nothing, while the other makes you unable to activate Card Destruction?
@@amritlohia8240 They would use Card Destruction after Protector of the Sanctuary. Playing Pot of Extravagance would prevent the turn player from playing Card Destruction, if I understand correctly
I could really use some help on this topic with Redoer as well: Sometimes, when you chain its effect to spin a card back to the deck that has attempted to activate, that card's effect doesn't resolve. However, sometimes the card you spin DOES resolve still. When does this happen/not happen?
Monster effect will resolve (unless it needs to stay face up, like zombie master it will have text stating it), Continuous spells Spell and traps, they will be spun back , nothing on resolution. Regular spells and trap that don't stay on the field. Won't spin back and is sent to grave, and continue to resolve. Normal Spell/Traps (altergeist manifest) that stay on the field, they will spin back and continue to resolve .
All I want to know is field spell zone count as spell and trap zone,and if you activate two chain link effects,can your opponent's negate the first chain?
I have a question about a card interaction. Say I activate a monster effect that targets a spell/trap (doesn't matter if its set or face-up) on my opponent's field as cost, the effect is that the targeted card is shuffled into the opponent's deck. My opponent activates the card I targeted in response as chain link 2. Its a *Back to the front* so he targets a monster in his GY to special summon. No one chains anything else, so his effect resolves and his monster is special summoned. Now my question is: does his *Back to the Front* go to his GY since he already used the effect, or does my effect resolve normally and that card is shuffled into his deck? Anyone know what happens? 🤔
Normal spells and traps activated cannot be returned to the hand or deck or otherwise, unless they have an effect which keeps them on the field. They are basically considered destroyed so they cannot be targets of cards that would put them back in the deck or hand. They can however get destroyed earlier or banished earlier via other cards.
Because Time-Thief Redoer lacks a ";" in its card text. Dante says "Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card and choose a number from 1 to 3, then send that many cards from the top of your Deck to the Graveyard; " Bujinki Amaterasu says "You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card;" : = Not Cost ; = Cost Look at the card pictures, don't rely on TCG player text.
courtesy says "cut", but the act of cutting your opponents deck is technically a shuffle. It's advised to cut or shuffle your opponent's deck every time it's allowed, or wait until their plays are done then shuffle. wouldn't recommend treating your friend's sky striker cards like a 42 bicycle deck in a casino, but you can like triple cut or quarter shuffle it.
So how was Raphael Neven playing all these plays with Marten if it was illegal? I read the ycs chicago match summary and he used marten's bounce/revive effect more than once per turn. If I misread or am missing something, I'd like clarification please. Thanks Tombox
@@MSTTV Yes yugiohblog.konami.com/event/ycs/ Nevin's featured in Finals, Top 16 Feature and in Rnd 7 Conrad Selig was piloting the deck too. Thank you man, love your channel
Hi need some help with a ruling, say I kaiju an opponent's monster then use Farfas effect to banish it till the end phase, who's side of the field does it return to?
You forgot the part that NOONE realises that Luna Light Perfume is not a Lunalight card hence you can't send it to the GY through Yellow Marten's effect.
I have question regarding mischief of the time goddess. Can I activate it if your opponent uses Nekroz of Valkyrus effect to negate my attack and end the battle phase?
u have to activate mischief at the end of the battle phase... after valkyrus's effect resolves it's no longer the battle phase... you would not be able to chain mischief to the effect of valk either since it's upon attack declaration... i could be wrong but i'm fairly positive that's how it would work...
I like this type of videos. In your next video can you explain the trap card “summon limit” it limits players to only 2 summons per turn. But I’m confused on why if i summon 2 times before the card is activated that turn, i can’t summon anymore that same turn. I’m confused because the effect should kick in after the card was activated right? But in ygopro it counts the summons i did on the same turn even though the card was not activated yet.
1OO1O11O11O1O because it counts the summons i did before the card was activated. That’s what confuses me. It should count if the card was not face up yet
1OO1O11O11O1O because the card wasn’t activated that turn when i did one summon? I think. But i know I’m wrong because it did it to me in ygopro so i need an expert answer
@@JorgeLopez-ff4fu The card doesn't say, "After this card is activated" or anything like that. I would think it is pretty evident that it affects the whole turn. While YGOPro is an unofficial, likely illegal website that just has not been handed a cease and desist notice as of yet, and is not connected in a legal way to Konami, it is correct in its ruling here.
Wondering... if I activate Pot of Extravaganza MP1 first thing, could I quick-play chain Serial Spell to that activation to copy the effect, assuming my opponent doesn’t have Ash Blossom, etc in response?!?!
Yes, however it would resolve as CL2 you would draw 2, then wouldnt be allowed to draw for the rest of the turn. So when the original pot resolves as CL1 you wouldnt draw any more. In other words, you can activate it and copy it yes, but you wouldnt only draw 2 still
I'm getting the feeling that your locals has some really bad players playing Lunalights. Most of those illegal plays you described didn't even occur to me, the only one I even made was forgetting to banish Yellow Marten once after I used it's self revive (because I forgot to use it for XYZ material that time).
I got around to multiple locals, not a 1 locals kinda guy, but seeing it happen at a locals probably means it happens else where. I also read the comments when people share common misplays on discord.
I think i didnt get you on time thief redoer and RUM. If u activate TTR and chain RUM, you get the rank up but not TTR, as it only leaves the field on resolution. Proper way would be to activate RUM and chain TTR. On resolve you don't detach a Monster and then you get your other TTR effects and your rank up
Problem is, the condition for RANK-up is to target a monster that has no Xyz material, so if you chain it you cant target him since he will have material. You cant target something that WONT have material, it has to have none on him when you activate RANK-up
Can you make a video explaining what conditions are in the game & the difference between card effects & conditions? I asks cuz' a long time ago, in my locals, my opponent told me that kagari 100 atk buff was a condition not an effect, even if I negated its effect with something like effect veiler or skill drain, that it still gained the 100 atk.
That guy was just a uneducated, that's a continuous effect. A condition/unclassified effects are like trigger effects that don't activate, once the condition was met the effect would automatically apply. Like evilswarm castor or azathoth, their wording is peculiar.
MST.TV Thanks for replying. Now, I ask cuz' I was reading on the yugioh wikia what the definition of conditions is & to me, it seem like a vague definition. I understand what summoning condition is(cannot be normal/special summon..., must first be..., etc.) but there are still some aspects of the other types of conditions in the game that can be confusing. In the wikia, it says that it's part of the card text but it isn't part of the effect per se. I really hope you can make a video about this to shed some light to me & any other player who doesn't understand it well. Appreciation in advance.
Metalman for cards with PCST, the activation condition are before a “:” if there is a cost, it is before a “;” and everything else is part of the effect. Each different effect are separated by a “.” And usually, if there is no “:” nor “;” it is a continuous effect, or a summoning condition. For kagari for exemple the card text is the following: If this card is Special Summoned: You can target 1 "Sky Striker" Spell in your GY, add it to your hand. Gains 100 ATK for each Spell in your GY. You can only Special Summon "Sky Striker Ace - Kagari(s)" once per turn. As you can see, there is 3”.” so 3 different segment to understand. 1st “If this card is Special Summoned: You can target 1 "Sky Striker" Spell in your GY, add it to your hand.” As you can see, there is a “:” so it is a trigger effect, and no “;” so there is no cost. The condition is the “if this card is special summoned”, the rest is the effect. 2nd “Gains 100 ATK for each Spell in your GY.” There is no “:” so it doesnt activate. It is a continuous effect. 3rd “You can only Special Summon "Sky Striker Ace - Kagari(s)" once per turn.” Still no “:” but this isnt an effect, it’s a summoning condition, which wont be negated by any mean. If kagari gets negated both 1st and 2nd effect will get negated, however since the second is continuous it would still be applied under majesty’s fiend.
Because cost is not the same as a card effect. A cost is something you do upon declaring activation of a card or effect. Such as paying life points, tributing a monster, or discarding a card. These are actions that are done before ANYTHING ELSE can respond or chain to this activation. This is why you still send a card from the deck to the GY if you activate Kaleido Chick even if Effect Veiler or Impermanence is chained to her. Because sending from the Deck to the GY is a cost to declare activation and is done before the opponent has a chance to activate Veiler or Impermanence. Card effects however are different. These happen after both players have nothing else to add to the chain and are ready to resolve said chain. They're things that happen during resolution. This is why Yellow Marten cannot get it's effect if dumped by Kaleido Chick. Because it was not sent to the GY as part of the resolution of an effect. It was sent as a cost (or payment if you will) for an effect's activation.
i think the issues with people miss playing these cards is the way people, yugitubers included, have talked about them...i've watched a few replay type videos where people say "yellow marten isn't a hard once it's so busted" etc etc...the real issue is people have gotten slack with reading your cards properly
If you ghost ogre a guardragon that is one of the 2 link monsters pointing to the zone, can they still summon something since there is no longer 2 monsters pointing to that specific zone?
I would not think so. If the link monster is gone than there would only be 1 link monster pointing to that location so therefore the effect would not be able to resolve. However if for some reason they had 3 links pointing to the same locations than yes it would still go through. Unless you ogred the monster whos effect was doing the summoning than all of the above is irrelevant and the entire effect would be negated in the first place.
Kaleidochick sends as a cost. Cost doesn't count as a card effect. Marten activates only if it is sent to grave by card effect. Marten being sent to grave by a cost and not card effect doesn't meet the trigger.
But if you activate pot of extr, can your opponent still activate cards that make you draw, just that you won’t draw? Such as trickstar reincarnation or dark bribe?
Hi Tombox, I have a doubt. If I have face-up There can be only one against sky striker, for example, Can my opponent summon multiple Sky strikers link monsters from de extra deck using the other ones as material because my opponent always control 1 Machine type monster?
Or for example, if there's There can be only one face-up on the field, Can I tribute 1 True Draco monster to summon another one from my hand so the total of Wyrm type monsters I always control is 1?
@@kaibamaneltcgmaster No, because you already control one so you cannot ATTEMPT to summon another. same rulings with gozen or rivalry. you cant attempt to summon a monster that against the floodgate even if tributing the one you control
@@Hofff8734 thanks, I knew about Rivalry and Gozen but I wasn't sure about TCBOO, also I tested it in YGOPro and I realized that is impossible, so thanks😉👍
So technically, for the rank up magic ruling, if it’s the start of the main phase, and I have a kaiju I can just tribute over their xyz monster that they want to rank up, therefore stopping their entire play? (That’s if they forget to do anything during the draw or standby phase)
Whether the effect resolves or not is irrelevant. It was sent to the graveyard as a cost not as an effect and therefore does not gain its effect because it was not sent by a card effect.
Abc pieces are bad examples.. they need to be sent from field to grave, XYZ material aren't from field. But for cards like Lunalight Marten, yes she will activate.
Another misplay with Yellow Marten that I've been guilty of for some time until someone told me. Yellow Marten CANNOT search for Luna Light Perfume, since Perfume is considered to NOT be a "Lunalight" card. Just so you know

It is

A ruling that many people aren't aware of, is that you lose a duel if you're not subscribed to MST.TV. If you and your opponent are both subscribed, the duel may continue as intended.
I'm kind of concerned that someone could read Yellow Marten's card text in 2019 and not be able to understand.
Jebward at my local, people still struggle about how to build a chain, so having them understand PCST would be hard.
You realize, we are in the era of sniffing condoms, eating tide pods and doing the bird box challenge in busy parking lots right?! Reading a card wrong or not fully doesn't surprise me.
I love this series, keep the rulings coming
This series has helped me more than almost any other on this damn site. If I top Atlanta cause of any of these rulings, I’ll shout you out
Wow you didn’t hit the most illegally forgotten part of extravagance: at the START of your MP1. People keep trying to activate it whenever when in reality it has to be the first card to be activated.
I haven't seen that issue, most people get called out on that and they don't get away with it. The most illegals plays are the ones people get away with.
it doesnt have to be the first card you use, you could also use quick spell cards in the standby phase and then activate the pot in mp1
@@fetzher3711 I think he said start of mp1
What about prohibition or Amano iwato. I’ve seen mine players activate it before exravagance. That’s still kinda confusing. Can someone clear that up.
Opp in MP1: Activate RUM?
Me: Uhhh turn player priority to summon Denko Sekka first?
This was so satisfying to do at locals the other day.
Actually opp can play rum right after u enter mp1
@@RealMerlin28 Wrong. Turn player has priority to make an action in any open game state where priority has not been passed, an example of which is the first action in Main Phase 1.
@@RealMerlin28 changing of phase during your opponent turn doesnt triggers the RUM actuvation. Ur opponent have the turn priority to do something first.
@@RealMerlin28 Change of phase doesn't cause a chain or a pass of priority. Attempting to change phase implies a pass of priority, but anything that happens in response to that attempt happens in the phase you're in, not the phase you're going to. Once the cards activated at change of phase resolve, it stays the same phase and the turn player has priority again.
Since when was there a turn priority in yugioh cause I have been playing yugioh for years and this is the first time I have heard about it.
Kind of reminds me of Dark Magician players play 2 Dark Magic Circle in the same turn for the look up effect when the card says only once per turn for look up effect and banish effect.
tl;dr read your fckn cards (and your opponent's cards too)
We got no time to read with this game
@@cacaf8989 you should question your reaing comprehension.
nemengeholz but yugioh players don’t read
I'm a longtime Evilswarm player so I read my cards backwards, never miss the last line that way. ;D
This is why I find the ocg translated card text to be a lot better, as it immediately tells you that said effects are once per turn
All newer cards use Problem Solving Card Text. That means Hard Once per Turn will allways be the end of the effect. But if you have older cards (2011 and before) it can be anywhere
This vid was great! Even though it indicates right at the beginning, Idk how I managed to miss that RUM Launch can only be activated in the MP. I was super excited to play RUM Launch in the DP or SP. haha!
Thanks, TomBox! And oh. Everytime I watch your rulings vids, I think about the time you baked some cookies. :D
On the lookout for wild Tombox sightings.
For the last time john! *Mst doesn't negate!*
Hey Tombox, you were very helpful in answering my last question, thank you. But I am not sure where the best place to ask this is, but given that this is a rulings video, I thought I'd give it a try:
1. Player A correctly special summons Gouki the Giant Ogre during their turn.
2. Player A says, "I want to enter Battle Phase."
3. Player B says, "OK, but first..." and activates Shiranui Style Swallow's Slash and Tributes their monster to destroy Player A's Giant Ogre and a set backrow (both cards are destroyed and Slash resolves without a reaction).
Q: Does Player A's initial declaration of "I want to enter Battle Phase" stand, and the game state immediately progresses to Battle Phase after the opponent's trap resolves? Or, does the game state halt, allowing Player A to then special summon Gouki Ringtrainer to revive the Giant Ogre, for instance?
I have been doing some reading this past week and have found several conflicting sources. Page 48 of the rule book clearly states that declaring the end of a phase is the turn player ceding Priority. However, does this mean the turn player has no right to conduct any other actions in Main Phase 1 to react to an opponent's traps, etc immediately before the end of that phase? Or to perform regular actions in an "open game state"? The more I read, the less certain I become.
If the end of a phase gets interrupted, that phase continues as normal afterwards.
Eg. The hand size limit only comes into effect at the very end of the turn (end of the End Phase), so normally you can't decide you want to make another action after discarding your 7th card. But say you have 7 cards and declare the end of your turn. You discard Cursed Bamboo Sword. Its effect activates, searching another Bamboo Sword card. You had said you were ending your End Phase, but it has now been interrupted by CBS's activation, so it's still your turn. Now you can play a Quick-Play Spell from your hand, activate a set Trap with a discard cost, etc. before the turn is over. If you don't, you'll have to discard for the hand size limit a second time.
@@MetaKaios Thank you for the detailed response, but I am not completely sure I understand.
If I understand you correctly, you're saying that I could not conduct the Gouki Ringtrainer special summon before moving into the Battle Phase? This being the result of my already having declared my intention to shift phases?
@@gerardhill1375 No, after your opponent interrupts, your Main Phase continues as if you hadn't declared the phase change (unless you decide to go to BP anyway).
I guess "continues as normal" was kind of ambiguous, huh. Sorry
@@MetaKaios Thank you, yes, that phrase kind of threw me. I originally interpreted you that way but clarification is always good. Much appreciated.
Would you happen to know exactly what part of the rulebook or official Konami TCG source actually confirms this? It would help me explain it to others.
@@gerardhill1375 It's described on pg48 of the rulebook: www.yugioh-card.com/en/rulebook/
The part to take note of here is that, if the game is played strictly according to the rules, you cannot actually say "I'm entering the Battle Phase." You would say "I'm passing Priority" to indicate that there is nothing more you want to do in the Main Phase, and are offering your opponent a chance to do something in the Main Phase. Only once your opponent declines that chance does the turn proceed to the Battle Phase. However, pg48 says that for ease of play (so you don't have to say "pass priority" after every single action), you can just say "Battle Phase", and your opponent should interpret that as meaning that you are passing priority. Since technically speaking there is no such thing as declaring that the current Phase is over, you are not bound by such a declaration if it gets interrupted, since once the opponent is done, Priority passes back to you again, and you have to choose to pass again before the Phase can end.
Love the rulings videos. Keep em up.
Good to know about that second Lunalight effect I run Lunalights and that was something I would do not to cheat or anything like that but just because I thought that’s how it worked.
Is golden castle targeting or not like against toons with the kingdom on the field?
Another thing people forget is that Pot of Extravagance can only be used at the beginning of Main Phase 1, so some people set or activate cards and then Pot.
If you use the monster detach effect of time thief does he come back to the field even tough he was banished?
So Kaleido Chick's cost doesn't count as sending Yellow Marten to the GY by a card effect? :O
Damn, I've been guilty of plusing from it because I thought it was for some reason. Thanks for the clarification Tombox :)
no, becuase it's a cost, not an effect.
Again common misplays of the format, even I am guilty of it too, it's easy to miss because of excitement.
@@MSTTV hello on ygopro, the chick cost allows to add the trap.. I do not understand
Detach Yellow Martin from a Redoer to get her search effect. Big brain.
Then you remember you can't search Perfume and you dont run Fusion so the only viable target is your one-of Serenade Dance and its only useful if you can discard it.

Hey Tom. I have a question about a Ruling. Why can’t I activate 2 Blue Mountain butterspy whenever I normal summon a warrior? But yet, I can respond with a battle trap as chain link 1 and 3.( My opponent declares an attrack, I activate mirror force, my opponent activates compulsory evac and the I respond with drowning mirror force?)
Great Work on the vid! Hopefully you get better soon!
I was wondering about another card ruling/clarification with names, specifically, cards like Prohibition/Psi-Blocker with Cyber Dragon/Harpy Lady.
_Prohibition
Activate by declaring 1 card name. Cards with that name, and their effects, cannot be used. Cards already on the field are not affected (including face-down cards)._
_Psi-Blocker
Once per turn: You can declare 1 card name; cards with that name, and their effects, cannot be used until the End of your opponent's next turn._
I understand how they initially work, hence the wikia, but the question comes from the declaration of a card's name.
Cyber Dragon archetype has cards that says "treated as Cyber Dragon while face-up" while Harpy Lady archetype has card that says "This card is always Harpy Lady".
Proto Cyber Dragon (PCD) becomes Cyber Dragon, so I'm assuming w/e it's effect (if any) or itself cannot be used, and anything entails by both Prohibition/Psi-Blocker does not allow PCD to be used for anything.
Harpy Lady (HL) is already Harpy Lady, I'm also assuming you can't play HL 1, 2, and 3 because they ARE Harpy Lady if Prohibition/Psi-Blocker calls Harpy Lady.
So i guess the question is, cards like Harpy Lady can't be played because they ARE Harpy Lady, so does that mean cards like Cyber Dragon Zwei who can be treated as Cyber Dragon through its effect can become Cyber Dragon and activate w/e the effect they have or the Zwei that becomes a "Cyber Dragon" are now unusable (through Prohibition/Psi-Blocker)? Or how does that even work?
TY in advance ^^ and hopefully it was clear enough xD for anyone else too, just wanted to make it clear as possible.
Dude ur computer and editing skills and shit are unreal respect
Another ruling of pot of extravagance people may not know that actually happened to me at locals: if your opponent chains iron wall to your extravagance or desires, you still banish and get the draws.
@MST.TV One ruling that you may have included concerning the rank up spell, is that if the moster you used it on get destroyed/leaves the field, you dont get to summon anything. Somebody at my locals thought he would get the monster with only one material (the rankup spell).
Also on the pot of extavagance, there is the fact that if you get ashed on it, you still cant draw for the rest of the turn, since the card resolved.
"For the rest of this turn after this card resolves, you cannot draw any cards by card effects." is actually an effect, so Ash negates that too.
Some handy tips that make a world of difference
6:55 also made the mistake with Extravagance myself one time, activated upstart after and right after I put down the upstart I was like: "Oh, right....."
short question regarding "after this card resolves": Can you still draw cards by card effects during the same turn after Pot of Extravagance got negated
1. by Solemn Judgment?
2. by Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring?
I assume Yes as the card didn't resolve.
Yes you can it's the same ruling as per demise
Judgment negates the activation. You can add.
Ash is a bit more complicated. Since both drawing and the restriction are part of the same effect you would be able to draw as the pot would resolve negated.
StealJoe the drawing and the restriction arent part of the same effect. There is a “.” Between them. So if you get ashed, you dont draw from the pot, but still cant draw for the rest of the turn. Just like you still discard your hand if you get ashed on your demise.
Ash negates effects, so by definition it was still activated
YGOpro Percy had to rewrite the code for Redoer because they wrote his detaching as a cost.
Glad I had a gut feeling that something was up with the game when it came to the card used in a simulator when it was spoiled.
I was told that if a card says
"IF this card is sent to the grave: YOU CAN do x" it will miss timing on the card if sent with another card that sends to do something as well. So in the Lunalight example if Kalidochick sends Yellow to grave even if negate Yellow should miss timing...plz correct me if im wrong
Also they are putting these once per turn restrictions at the end of cards with long effect text. They should know players dont read the effects thru all the way (i know i am guilty of this) so maybe they should put it at the beggining of the card txt.....
Either you're misremembering or the person who told you had it wrong. "If… you can" effects do not miss timing; only "When… you can" effects do.
Yellow Marten still doesn't work in the example though, as explained in the video (as Chick sends it as a cost, not an effect).
Watching this in 2020. Funny how a year later, this video is still very relevant right now lol
one i keep hearing is borreload is unaffected by monster effects i have a score board of how many people say that and i reply read it word for word it says" neither player can target this card with monster effects." or borreload highjacks with it's effect at the start of the damage step when attacking beelze for example they tend to replace "but SEND it to the GY durin the end phase of the next by "destroy it and sent it to the Gy durin the end phase of the next" so um yeah no your not keeping my beelze/borrelsword/3k+ beat stick
Great segment, keep it up.
Thanks for videos like these ! They are super helpfull !!!
Time thief vs. Ash Blossom reminds me of how you can solemn warning macro cosmos, which is still one of my favorite responses in the game. "Bruh I'm not special summoning anything!" Well I don't want you possibly bringing out that Helios boy
Something I've seen very recently:
- Trying to use all your monsters as materials to Special Summon something that would be illegal to play under "There Can Be Only One", "Gozen Match" or "Rivalry of the Warlords".
The first two happened with Guru Control matchups, which seemed to be somewhat common in a WCQ in France just yesterday.
It's not text-related, it's more mechanics-related, so please mention it somewhere?
Also I’ve found that with pot of extravagance you have to make your opponent banish before you respond. Most people will see pot and automatically ash without giving time to pay cost.. in this instance your opponent could banish less cards from extravagance than he originally wanted to because they see the ash is negating it so they will only banish 3 to save room for the other 2 copies... EDIT: assuming he’s playing 3 copies.
wow this is actually super helpful cause im a rookie judge rn. i got 3 regionals and a few uds point events . good stuff
If you get a chance can you explain the lunalights yellow marten being sent as cost a little bit more? Thank you
If you need to perform an action in the text that is before the ; (semi colon) that is a cost and does not count as an action performed for an effect. Kaleidochick sends to grave is a cost because it is before the ;. Therefore sending Marten to the grave by kaleidochick, doesn't trigger Marten to search.
Jeez, looking at this video made me question if i played lunalights wrong, but thank god i was aware of the hard once per turn xD
Love this kind of video ! Shared it to all my yugioh friends cause it's really usefull. It would be super great if you can make some more like every 2 months...0:) Anyway TY for the tips
So another common misplay i have seen on a lot of youtube deck profiles as well as combo tutorials involves shade brigadine. They search the shade off their rusty combo and than flip it up that same turn in order to xyzs summon. As far as i am aware you cannot activate traps the turn you set them. I double checked the rule book in my Sally structure deck to be sure i wasn't tripping. And ya you cannot activate them the turn they are set unless specified in the card text otherwise. I don't recall at any point in that combo there being a card that stated you can activate this card the turn you set it. And i run the deck in question as my main. So this is another huge misplay that if you don't catch it can most likely get you azathot'd on your turn and can in most cases lose you the duel.
I'm gonna let you read shade brigadine..... The card text states u can activate it during the turn it was set when you don't have other traps in your grave.... So yeah.. not a misplay there...
@@MSTTV thanks. I don't have the card and haven't looked it up. That is why i brought it up. They don't explain that part in their videos so i was confused since it's a trap. But thanks for clarifying that.
I currently run a 3rd fog blade instead of shade but now that i know that i might try to pick one up. That's pretty dang good. Lol
With time thief do you pull cards from the deck on your turn only or both turns?
I'm pretty sure I use Time Thief Redoer correctly. It's interesting to know that detaching an XYZ material is not a cost, but rather, part of the effect itself. You could use something like Forbidden Chalice to negate his effect and keep his XYZ materials
Love these videos! They help out a lot.
just a question probably a stupid one: if i control 2 time thief redoer's am i stealing 2 cards from my opponents deck during standby phase or only one? so is his first effect a hard or soft once per turn?
Needful info. Good stuff bud. 👍👍
Wait, so i can Kaiju the monster they have before they activate the rank up spell during my main phase? Please confirm. Thanks in advance.
According to Yugitubers it is. Due to turn player priority. So you can tribute over the monster that they plan on using for Azathot or Kali.
@@timestarmagician8654 according to yugituber? Is this confirmed though or not?
@@edgarralor I'm looking around, but I did hear something about turn player priority being a thing due to another ruling. But I can't remember what that ruling was for the life of me. This is going to bug me for the rest of the day.
@@edgarralor Okay so after reading the rules, yes it does seem to be a thing. So basically you can play around Azathot and Kali due to turn player priority.
@@timestarmagician8654 you are correct. Turn player has priority to perform an action during the main phase. Kaijuing the Xyz, summoning pankratops and quick popping the Xyz, or even bight beaming the rank up launch
Wait a second just want to confirm this but when I detach say a raidraptor mimicry lanius from a xyz monster would that be like sending it to the graveyard or not to trigger mimicry's effect to banish for a raidraptor card search?
At my locals, some guy tried to summon Juragedo after I attacked, even tho his effect is it summons itself during either players battle step. He tried to argue that the damage step and damage calc were part of the battle step, even tho there not, right? Doesnt it go attack delc, battle step, damage step, damage calc?
Nice vid subscribed ! 👍
👏🏼👏🏼 “ card review”
I've watched too much PewDiePie, picked up a bad habit.
Fellow 9 year old.
@@MSTTV That's why I don't watch PewDiePie. Lol
i need help for this case : my opponent attacks with borrelsword my multifaker, i activate kunquery effect in my hand to stop borrelsword and in response to kunquery my opponents activates the effect of borrelsword to change a battle position of his monster,so borrelsword resolve and kunquery too,when i summon kunquery i activate its second effect targetting borrelsword,so borrelsword shouldn't be able to attack cause its effect it's negated and it loses the additional attack ,right?
Another thing that gets me about Time Thief Redoer: The effect says you can detach up to 3 _different_ types of Material. That would indicate you can't detach, say, 2 Monsters and a Spell.
Which is baffling due to Konami's article on the card:
"So detaching 2 monsters and Spell means Redoer gets banished and you draw a card."
yugiohblog.konami.com/articles/?p=9220
Using Time Thief redoer in a skull invitation burn deck, when i detach my opponents materials and they go to the graveyard, would that inflict 300 damage to my opponent? Would this work with Paralyzing Chain as well? How about Fatal Abacus?
Hey Tom
:D Always nice to see you on reddit tho
I would like to mention that if the second lunalight misplay is indeed a misplay, then D/D/D Oracle King D'Arc does not make you gain life points off of the COST of the dark contract cards.
But it does.
That’s because the 1000 damage from dark contracts is not a cost. They read “Once per turn, during your standby phase: Take 1000 damage.”
Compare this to a card like imperial order, which actually is a cost: “Once per turn, during the standby phase, you must pay 700 LP (this is not optional) or this card is destroyed.”
In the case of imperial order, it’s paying life points as cost. In the case of dark contracts, it’s inflicting burn damage to you with an effect.
Fun question; What is the difference between Pot of Extravagance's "You cannot draw any other cards this turn." to Protector of the Sanctuary's "Your opponent cannot draw cards" restriction, and why does one allow you to use cards like Card Destruction to have your opponent discard their hand and gain nothing, while the other makes you unable to activate Card Destruction?
I can't find any reference to say you're allowed to use Card Destruction after Pot of Extravagance. Could you elaborate further?
@@amritlohia8240 They would use Card Destruction after Protector of the Sanctuary. Playing Pot of Extravagance would prevent the turn player from playing Card Destruction, if I understand correctly
I could really use some help on this topic with Redoer as well: Sometimes, when you chain its effect to spin a card back to the deck that has attempted to activate, that card's effect doesn't resolve. However, sometimes the card you spin DOES resolve still. When does this happen/not happen?
Monster effect will resolve (unless it needs to stay face up, like zombie master it will have text stating it),
Continuous spells Spell and traps, they will be spun back , nothing on resolution.
Regular spells and trap that don't stay on the field. Won't spin back and is sent to grave, and continue to resolve.
Normal Spell/Traps (altergeist manifest) that stay on the field, they will spin back and continue to resolve .
Awesome, thanks! @@MSTTV
All I want to know is field spell zone count as spell and trap zone,and if you activate two chain link effects,can your opponent's negate the first chain?
Sorry I’m commenting so late, but what if Redoder has a monster attached? Could you ghost ogre or ash it?
I have a question about a card interaction. Say I activate a monster effect that targets a spell/trap (doesn't matter if its set or face-up) on my opponent's field as cost, the effect is that the targeted card is shuffled into the opponent's deck. My opponent activates the card I targeted in response as chain link 2. Its a *Back to the front* so he targets a monster in his GY to special summon. No one chains anything else, so his effect resolves and his monster is special summoned. Now my question is: does his *Back to the Front* go to his GY since he already used the effect, or does my effect resolve normally and that card is shuffled into his deck?
Anyone know what happens? 🤔
Normal spells and traps activated cannot be returned to the hand or deck or otherwise, unless they have an effect which keeps them on the field. They are basically considered destroyed so they cannot be targets of cards that would put them back in the deck or hand. They can however get destroyed earlier or banished earlier via other cards.
Look up Phoenix wing wind blast rulings
@MST.TV
Why is Bujinki Amaterasu cost, but Time Thief Redoer isn’t? Their wording is identical.
Because Time-Thief Redoer lacks a ";" in its card text.
Dante says "Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card and choose a number from 1 to 3, then send that many cards from the top of your Deck to the Graveyard; "
Bujinki Amaterasu says "You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card;"
: = Not Cost
; = Cost
Look at the card pictures, don't rely on TCG player text.
Double checked, there is a semicolon, but I’m gonna leave this here for anyone with the same question.
I have a question revolving around player interaction, when you're opponent passes you their deck to cut are you allowed to shuffle it?
courtesy says "cut", but the act of cutting your opponents deck is technically a shuffle. It's advised to cut or shuffle your opponent's deck every time it's allowed, or wait until their plays are done then shuffle. wouldn't recommend treating your friend's sky striker cards like a 42 bicycle deck in a casino, but you can like triple cut or quarter shuffle it.
@@ryanmcconnell7410 aight just making sure since I had an interaction with a player and he said I wasnt allowed to shuffle and I had to cut
After they shuffle and pass the deck back you can ask for a final cut, which would just be a cut.
When they take your deck they can shuffle it after you search.
This is why "hard once per turn" clause should be at the beginning of the text rather at the end.
Love these kind of vids
So how was Raphael Neven playing all these plays with Marten if it was illegal? I read the ycs chicago match summary and he used marten's bounce/revive effect more than once per turn. If I misread or am missing something, I'd like clarification please. Thanks Tombox
I'll need to read it, can you link it?
@@MSTTV Yes yugiohblog.konami.com/event/ycs/
Nevin's featured in Finals, Top 16 Feature and in Rnd 7 Conrad Selig was piloting the deck too. Thank you man, love your channel
He didn't use it more than once per turn. He used it once in each due, he special it back using soul tiger or purple butterfly.
@@MSTTV thanks Tombox been a while since I read it.
What’s the best generic target for PK RUM? I was using Redoer because I though the detach was cost like >99% of Xyz monsters
Redoer isn't bad, bc you can choose not to reattach
Hi need some help with a ruling, say I kaiju an opponent's monster then use Farfas effect to banish it till the end phase, who's side of the field does it return to?
Opponent.
You forgot the part that NOONE realises that Luna Light Perfume is not a Lunalight card hence you can't send it to the GY through Yellow Marten's effect.
I have question regarding mischief of the time goddess. Can I activate it if your opponent uses Nekroz of Valkyrus effect to negate my attack and end the battle phase?
u have to activate mischief at the end of the battle phase... after valkyrus's effect resolves it's no longer the battle phase... you would not be able to chain mischief to the effect of valk either since it's upon attack declaration... i could be wrong but i'm fairly positive that's how it would work...
this is actually pretty good knowledge
So if they ash extrav you can still draw? Because the card didn’t resolve? Or only if they negate the activation
Can't draw... Activation successful.
So, you would have to somehow try to bait out the Ash then chain Redoer's effect if you wanted to try to resolve it, correct?
Or activate Redoer, they chain Ash, you chain Called?
I like this type of videos. In your next video can you explain the trap card “summon limit” it limits players to only 2 summons per turn. But I’m confused on why if i summon 2 times before the card is activated that turn, i can’t summon anymore that same turn. I’m confused because the effect should kick in after the card was activated right? But in ygopro it counts the summons i did on the same turn even though the card was not activated yet.
Why not? it says "per turn"
1OO1O11O11O1O because it counts the summons i did before the card was activated. That’s what confuses me. It should count if the card was not face up yet
@@JorgeLopez-ff4fu Why wouldn't it count?
1OO1O11O11O1O because the card wasn’t activated that turn when i did one summon? I think. But i know I’m wrong because it did it to me in ygopro so i need an expert answer
@@JorgeLopez-ff4fu The card doesn't say, "After this card is activated" or anything like that. I would think it is pretty evident that it affects the whole turn.
While YGOPro is an unofficial, likely illegal website that just has not been handed a cease and desist notice as of yet, and is not connected in a legal way to Konami, it is correct in its ruling here.
Wondering... if I activate Pot of Extravaganza MP1 first thing, could I quick-play chain Serial Spell to that activation to copy the effect, assuming my opponent doesn’t have Ash Blossom, etc in response?!?!
Yes, however it would resolve as CL2 you would draw 2, then wouldnt be allowed to draw for the rest of the turn. So when the original pot resolves as CL1 you wouldnt draw any more. In other words, you can activate it and copy it yes, but you wouldnt only draw 2 still
i hated when i had to explain that infernoids had inherent special summon that didnt start a chain to people thus wasnt an effect
I'm getting the feeling that your locals has some really bad players playing Lunalights. Most of those illegal plays you described didn't even occur to me, the only one I even made was forgetting to banish Yellow Marten once after I used it's self revive (because I forgot to use it for XYZ material that time).
I got around to multiple locals, not a 1 locals kinda guy, but seeing it happen at a locals probably means it happens else where. I also read the comments when people share common misplays on discord.
I think i didnt get you on time thief redoer and RUM. If u activate TTR and chain RUM, you get the rank up but not TTR, as it only leaves the field on resolution. Proper way would be to activate RUM and chain TTR. On resolve you don't detach a Monster and then you get your other TTR effects and your rank up
Problem is, the condition for RANK-up is to target a monster that has no Xyz material, so if you chain it you cant target him since he will have material. You cant target something that WONT have material, it has to have none on him when you activate RANK-up
So since extravagance doesnt allow you to "draw any more cards" you can still "add" cards from the deck or graveyard to your hand right?
pretty sure
So yellow Marten effect is not activated because it is a cost?
Can you make a video explaining what conditions are in the game & the difference between card effects & conditions? I asks cuz' a long time ago, in my locals, my opponent told me that kagari 100 atk buff was a condition not an effect, even if I negated its effect with something like effect veiler or skill drain, that it still gained the 100 atk.
That guy was just a uneducated, that's a continuous effect.
A condition/unclassified effects are like trigger effects that don't activate, once the condition was met the effect would automatically apply.
Like evilswarm castor or azathoth, their wording is peculiar.
Also if you negate Kagari it doesn't gain 100 attack, the continuous effect is negated
MST.TV Thanks for replying. Now, I ask cuz' I was reading on the yugioh wikia what the definition of conditions is & to me, it seem like a vague definition. I understand what summoning condition is(cannot be normal/special summon..., must first be..., etc.) but there are still some aspects of the other types of conditions in the game that can be confusing. In the wikia, it says that it's part of the card text but it isn't part of the effect per se. I really hope you can make a video about this to shed some light to me & any other player who doesn't understand it well. Appreciation in advance.
Metalman for cards with PCST, the activation condition are before a “:” if there is a cost, it is before a “;” and everything else is part of the effect. Each different effect are separated by a “.” And usually, if there is no “:” nor “;” it is a continuous effect, or a summoning condition. For kagari for exemple the card text is the following:
If this card is Special Summoned: You can target 1 "Sky Striker" Spell in your GY, add it to your hand. Gains 100 ATK for each Spell in your GY. You can only Special Summon "Sky Striker Ace - Kagari(s)" once per turn.
As you can see, there is 3”.” so 3 different segment to understand.
1st “If this card is Special Summoned: You can target 1 "Sky Striker" Spell in your GY, add it to your hand.” As you can see, there is a “:” so it is a trigger effect, and no “;” so there is no cost. The condition is the “if this card is special summoned”, the rest is the effect.
2nd “Gains 100 ATK for each Spell in your GY.” There is no “:” so it doesnt activate. It is a continuous effect.
3rd “You can only Special Summon "Sky Striker Ace - Kagari(s)" once per turn.” Still no “:” but this isnt an effect, it’s a summoning condition, which wont be negated by any mean.
If kagari gets negated both 1st and 2nd effect will get negated, however since the second is continuous it would still be applied under majesty’s fiend.
Ligit question why doesn't Kaleido Chick's cost count as a card effect for yellow martins condition?
Because cost is not the same as a card effect. A cost is something you do upon declaring activation of a card or effect. Such as paying life points, tributing a monster, or discarding a card. These are actions that are done before ANYTHING ELSE can respond or chain to this activation. This is why you still send a card from the deck to the GY if you activate Kaleido Chick even if Effect Veiler or Impermanence is chained to her. Because sending from the Deck to the GY is a cost to declare activation and is done before the opponent has a chance to activate Veiler or Impermanence.
Card effects however are different. These happen after both players have nothing else to add to the chain and are ready to resolve said chain. They're things that happen during resolution. This is why Yellow Marten cannot get it's effect if dumped by Kaleido Chick. Because it was not sent to the GY as part of the resolution of an effect. It was sent as a cost (or payment if you will) for an effect's activation.
Keep doing the rulings!
i think the issues with people miss playing these cards is the way people, yugitubers included, have talked about them...i've watched a few replay type videos where people say "yellow marten isn't a hard once it's so busted" etc etc...the real issue is people have gotten slack with reading your cards properly
If you ghost ogre a guardragon that is one of the 2 link monsters pointing to the zone, can they still summon something since there is no longer 2 monsters pointing to that specific zone?
I would not think so. If the link monster is gone than there would only be 1 link monster pointing to that location so therefore the effect would not be able to resolve. However if for some reason they had 3 links pointing to the same locations than yes it would still go through. Unless you ogred the monster whos effect was doing the summoning than all of the above is irrelevant and the entire effect would be negated in the first place.
Mst.TV can you explain again why you can't use yellow martens effect by kaleidos effect To search? I didn't fully understand that part.
Kaleidochick sends as a cost. Cost doesn't count as a card effect.
Marten activates only if it is sent to grave by card effect.
Marten being sent to grave by a cost and not card effect doesn't meet the trigger.
MST.TV Got it, thanks for the reply.
But if you activate pot of extr, can your opponent still activate cards that make you draw, just that you won’t draw? Such as trickstar reincarnation or dark bribe?
They cannot
Hi Tombox, I have a doubt. If I have face-up There can be only one against sky striker, for example, Can my opponent summon multiple Sky strikers link monsters from de extra deck using the other ones as material because my opponent always control 1 Machine type monster?
Or for example, if there's There can be only one face-up on the field, Can I tribute 1 True Draco monster to summon another one from my hand so the total of Wyrm type monsters I always control is 1?
@@kaibamaneltcgmaster No, because you already control one so you cannot ATTEMPT to summon another. same rulings with gozen or rivalry. you cant attempt to summon a monster that against the floodgate even if tributing the one you control
@@Hofff8734 thanks, I knew about Rivalry and Gozen but I wasn't sure about TCBOO, also I tested it in YGOPro and I realized that is impossible, so thanks😉👍
Misplay < illegal play
So technically, for the rank up magic ruling, if it’s the start of the main phase, and I have a kaiju I can just tribute over their xyz monster that they want to rank up, therefore stopping their entire play? (That’s if they forget to do anything during the draw or standby phase)
Yes because turn player always has priority
So any time yellow marten is sent for cost it doesn’t get its effect? Or only when the effect it was used as cost for doesn’t resolve?
card effect apparently doesn't include card cost, which is what is done prior to the effect of a card.
Whether the effect resolves or not is irrelevant. It was sent to the graveyard as a cost not as an effect and therefore does not gain its effect because it was not sent by a card effect.
Can you do one for ghost bell and chaos form? I was told apparently chaos form can be ghost belled even if my target monster is in my hand.
If you detach a monster with a GY effect from Time Thief Redoer will the GY effect activate since the detach isn't a cost (example: ABC pieces)?
Abc pieces are bad examples.. they need to be sent from field to grave, XYZ material aren't from field.
But for cards like Lunalight Marten, yes she will activate.
