I just wanna say thank you so much for this video series coder, i’m pretty sure in the games last 20 years no ones truly taken the time to answer rulings in such a timely manner :).
Live twins and evil twins are some of the few monsters that say “if this card is summoned AND you control” as opposed to “if this card is summoned WHILE you control”. Is there any difference between “and you control” and “while you control”
The difference I can see is simply if the monster is summoned and you control etc means if at the time of activation the conditions were met the effect will activate and resolve but the other way it's written the monster has to remain on the field during the summon and effect activation and resolution so if it gets booked the effect will no longer work
@@eic1990 I think it just means that it will trigger of it and the named card are summoned together, such as a Pendulum Summon. It might mean that, if over the course of the same chain, both are summoned but not at the same Chain Link, they can still trigger. The only activated effects of non-Continuous/Field cards that fail to resolve when a condition changes between activation and resolution are cards that explicitly say so, or if the action the effect is wanting you to do becomes impossible.
As someone who has dabbled in Lair, unaffected monsters/monster unaffected by spells suck to deal with. You need cards that put a restriction on the player/makes the player remove the card on some way. The effect of Share the Pain is one such example
Ruling question for you, how do necrovalley and zombie world interact? Are all of zombie world's effects negated, or just the one that changes monsters in the grave to zombies?
Just the type effect... Necrovalley only prevents type changing effects. Zombie World states two different interactions: Change types on the field and grave and preventing tribute summoning if its not a zombie you attempt to summon
The effect that changes the Type of monsters on the field is the same that changes the Type in the GY. Necrovalley will negate the entire effect and no type change will apply. However, Tribute Summons will still be limited to only Zombies.
Hey coder, just wanted to let you know that I freaking love your ruling videos! I've learned quite a bit from your videos. Thank you for that. You are the man!
WEIRD Question: The card "Question", as far as I know, is the only card in the game that cares about the order of cards in the GY, asking your opponent to name the monster closest to the bottom of your GY. What I'm wondering is: when performing an action that puts multiple cards in the GY at the same time in terms of event sequencing (resolving Raigeki, performing a Synchro Summon, etc...), is there any standard way to determine in what order the cards go in the GY (that everyone just ignores because it almost never matters), or does the player just choose? In the same vein, is shuffling your GY technically an illegal action?
Well shuffling the GY is indeed illegal and this it is written in the ruelbook as well but like a few people actually care that much. For resolving cards and effect it depends on the situation : if you are performing synchro, fusion, link or ritual summon i think you can choose the order and for cards that put multiple cards in GY, unless differently specified, the order is optional as well.
Along this weird question thread: What happens if you activate "Yu-Jo friendship" with "Unity" in hand during the pandemic? Your opponent legally cant shake your hand, but in the rules of yugioh, they must. Does the universe implode?
@@Saul-YF it was established that you only need to accept the "idea of a handshake" because someone did nasty stuff to their hands before in order to make the oponent refuse the handshake
Cards that go to the GY should basically be sent in any order, as long as they were sent from the field due to only the Chain Link resolving. If a card is sent as cost during the Chain Link, then it should be in the GY at that point in terms of sending to the GY in an order.
I'll be honest. I wasn't expecting the sound effects for the word animations. I was driving and thought those swoosh sounds were coming from my car 😂😂😂
presumably, it's because tributing a monster using soul crossing isn't part of soul crossing, but a trait of the tribute summon you perform as part of soul crossing. thus, it isn't a spell effect that's allowing you to tribute the opponent's monster, but rather the tribute summon itself yes, that's both dumb _and_ still ends up contradicting stuff like unchained soul of disaster, but do you think takahashi would burn down konami hq with his menchi beams over a card like _unchained soul of disaster?_ yeah, i thought not
It could be because Soul Crossing only applies the condition when you are performing the Tribute Summon (which does not start a chain, and so it isn't a card effect that tribute summons while resolving, it's a card effect that resolves, then performs the tribute summon afterwards), as opposed to placing a condition during the turn Stormforth is activated, or while a face-up continuous-like Spell is on the field.
Although the ruling may be official, I think its ultimately illogical. I hope it gets specifically addressed because the explanations given as to why you aren't allowed to tribute the monster is frankly insufficient. Also, it seems that a while back, you WERE able to use something like Lair on a Dark Unaffected monster before the OCG updated its rulings; MSTtv actually has a video on Lair that covers this. The way I see it, Stormforth and Lair have the ability to turn your opponent's field into yours under the appropriate circumstance; it does nothing to "affect" the opponents monsters.
I saw this at a table at my local this week: One player activated desires and accidentally still had an extra deck card under the banished card. Most likely because he simply missed taking it out from the previous match. And his opponent immediately was saying that he could call a judge for that and make him lose the game. To me, that is totally rule sharking, because it doesn't change the game in any way shape, or form.
When you do dice roll you accept that your main, side and extra is all ok. If there is an extra deck card in your main deck after you finish dice roll you will probably get game loss'ed. This is not rule sharking this is enforcing proper gameplay.
Question about Gozen Match: Opponent has Gozen Match face-up on the field. I control an Adamancipator tuner and another random earth monster. Am i allowed to link-summon for Crystron Halqifibrax? Why or why not? edit: Would the same rule also apply for Rivalry of Warlords, since the text is basically the same?
no because halq is water and gozen say that you locked in that what you have on field and you can also only activate effects which would summon this type
Its the second line of text imo but i could be wrong, it says "cant control" which means you CANT make even an attempt to summon something with a different attribute then the monsters on the field.
You are not allowed to summon Halqifibrax. If you have an earth monster on the field you are not allowed to attempt a summon of a non-earth Monster bc Gozen Match restricts you to 1 attribute only
The gamestate only allows summons of the actual monster types you control (Earth), so in this case you aren't allowed to summon Crystron Halqifibrax (Water). It is the same example with trying to summon a Kaiju to your opponent's field using Archfiend Kristya or Vanity's Fiend as tribute. While these monsters are face-up on the field, neither player can attempt to special summon monsters, so the gamestate doesn't allow special summons in any matter.
Hi Coder, I have a goat ruling question: Player A attacks a set Cyber jar, the jar is flipped face-up and its effect triggers destroying all monsters on the field. Since Player A is the turn player he has the precedence when resolving the second part of the effect, so he excavates the top 5 cards of his deck and special summons a Jowgen, the spiritualist in face up attack position. The question is: is player B now allowed to summon any monster when it's his turn to resolve the cyber jar or will he just add all cards to his hand? Thank you for the advice
Yes it is allowed. Even if the turn player resolves first, it is still considered to have happened all at the same time, and thus Jowgen only starts applying his effect after both players finish special summoning.
Scenario: my op has a Cherubini, 2 other monsters and a fog blade targeting my monster. If I activate needle ceiling, can my op save his Cherubini sending the fog blade? Or is the fog blade considered to be sent to the grave at the same time as the monsters destroyed by the needle ceiling? Thanks
I have been in this scenario before, and I think that since Cherubini isn’t an activated effect to protect itself, like dingirisu, it can be chained to needle ceiling to send the fog blade
Fog Blade does not protect Cherubini from destruction, as it only prevents it from attacking or being attacked. Fog Blade will be sent at the same time as all other monsters affected by Needle Ceiling, but, on a new chain, your opponent can activate Fog Blade in a different chain to banish itself and Special Summon any "The Phantom Knights" from the GY.
Even though the fog blade would be destroyed in most cases when needle ceiling resolves, it is not marked for destruction by the needle ceiling itself. Therefore it can be destroyed as a substitute for Cherubini.
@@rolandholmdahl797 cherubini has a continuous protection effect that if it would be destroyed send another card you control to the grave we know fog doesn't have protection he was wondering if cherubini can send the activated fog to keep it alive.
Goat format question 🥴. Player A has stumbling active on the field and a set ring of destruction and a monster in face up position player B Sp chaos sorcerer in defense position player A chains ring of destruction to chaos sorc player B calls prio attempting to banish the face up monster question is does player B chaos sorc gets to banish the face up monster before ring resolves or does player A gets to save his monster by chaining ring of destruction to chaos sorc.
Judge question: player A has Raidraptor final fortress falcon in grave and one on field with a Raidraptor xyz as material Player B plays called by the grave on the final fortress in the graveyard. Does the Final fortress on field have it's effect negated, and if not can it use it's effect to detach the material?
CBTG does not prevent the activation of effects, it only negates the activated effects and continuous effects on the field. If Final Fortress has any Raid Raptor XYZ as material, it will be unaffected by CBTG. IF Final Fortress were to detach its last material to activate the first effect, it will no longer be unaffected by CBTG, so its effect will resolve negated.
Crystal Abundance vs summon blockers: Subset 1) you have all monsters be valid summon targets on GY or Spell/Trap zone (ex rivalry of warlords+zombie world, you have a monster on the field, all CB in GY are zombies on activation and could be summoned via Monster Reborn) Subset 2) you have somr valid targets in GY/backrow (ex Barrier Statue of Stormwinds is on the field, you have Sapphire Pegasus on the Backrow) Subset 3) there are no valid targets that could be immediately summoned but you could legally special summon monsters in some way (ex same scenario as above but no Pegasus) Subset 4) completely unable to special summon (ex Vanity's Ruler)
Ruling question: Amazement Arlekino is on board. Opponent summons a monster with a trigger eff (for example orcust Girsu) Girsu cl1 arlekino cl2 to equip Viking vortex from the deck. Chain resolves, does the Girsu get bounct to the hand ?
Timing question: I have Batteryman Micro-Cell set and my opponent attacks into it, so it's flipped. I use it's effect to summon Batteryman 9-Volt. I understand that 9-Volt gets it's effect to search before the Micro-Cell is destroyed, but I don't understand why it does instead of missing it's timing.
Micro Cell should trigger as chain link 1, after damage calculation, assuming on other effects trigger then. If that is the case, 9 Volt is summoned at the appropriate timing and can trigger, since it being summoned was the last thing to happen.
I'd like an explanation on how conflicting clauses interact, specifically with the clause "ignoring the summoning conditions". I know it isn't treated as a proper summon, so revival is out, but can I, say, use Waking the Dragon to summon Shooting Quasar Dragon, which says it must be synchro summoned, since WtD ignores summoning conditions?
Ignoring the summoning conditions overrides the text "Cannot be special summoned" for monsters in the GY or hand/deck (such as sphere mode or spirit monsters), but for monsters which "must be [method] summoned" (such as neos fusion-accessible fusion monsters, or mask change "HERO" monsters), it only overrides that text for the hand/deck/extra deck but not the GY (which is why sacred beasts improperly sent to GY can't be resurrected by hyper blaze or whatever it's called). The former says what you cannot do, while the latter says what you must do. For the latter, you can only ignore summoning conditions to revive them if they were properly summoned then hit the GY after. This topic is still something I have to return to sometimes to remind myself how it works, so if I goofed on something, feel free to let me know.
Follow up to Kaiju Mind control: Tribute 1 monster from my opponent to special Kaiju to their field, special 1 Kaiju from hand to my field, Mind control resolves, mind controlled Kaiju goes to grave. Can I now activate "A Deal with Dark Ruler"? Question being did I ever control the second Kaiju that was sent to the grave to meet the requirements of "A Deal with Dark Ruler"?
Interesting question. Player A has masked HERO Dark Law face up on the field and activates "Exchange" and gives Player B any card (ex. Elemental HERO Shadow mist) Can player B then use a card like Forbidden Droplets to send my Elemental HERO Shadow mist from their hand/Field to negate my Dark Law since Dark law states only cards that get sent to the opponents GY is banished and not mine.
Question about Amaze attraction card and their interaction with Traptrix monster. First part of the question : can a card like amaze attraction cyclo-coaster targets a card that is unaffected by trap effects like Traptrix Sera ? Second part of the question : if cyclo-coaster can equip itself to Traptrix Sera, can it uses its effect to add an “Amazement” monster from deck to hand since the effect doesn’t really affects the opponent Traptrix Sera.
Ruling question: Both Jinzo and Skill Drain are face-up on the field. Then say Effect Veiler is used to negate Jinzo and Trap Stun on Skill Drain. (Effectively negating both of them until the end of the turn) As Trap Stun and Veiler wear off at the same time, which card takes precedent and negates the other (Jinzo or Skill Drain)?
One incorrect judge ruling that cost me a match at locals that people should know if you’re a Paleo Frog player like me: I had 3 paleo trap (monsters) on field. They activate DRNM, they then attempt to Zeus the field and I knew for a fact that my paleos are unaffected by monster effects regardless if your try to negate them but I explained ina. Weird way I guess. I said it’s the trap effect that makes then unaffected , not a monster effect. I lost the match and they then came back later and apologized for the incorrect ruling because they realized paleos are NORMAL monsters also negating then does nothing.
Quick niche interaction: Player A has Crimson Nova Trinity on board, Player B summons a Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon (just a random fusion monster), Player A then activates Solemn Strike paying the 1500 life points. Does Crimson Nova Trinity's Last Effect trigger?
Just to make sure: Night beam is activated targeting my set rivalry of warlord. I chain crystron halqifibrax then I chain rivalry. Do I get to ss a synchro from my Ed that is not machine? Does rivalry gets destroyed by night beam even though it's no longer set? What if Zombie World is on the field, does that affect halq's eff?
Ruling question involving Dogmatika Fleurdelis and Destiny HERO - Plasma. If Plasma is on the field and I have another fusion HERO on the field. Opponent has Ecclesia on their field, opponent activated Fleur and summons her. Are they able to negate plasma or would her effect be negated? Happened to me on EdoPro.
If my opponent has a prank kid weather washer rocksies and lampsies and I have a set revolt and they enter the battle phase if I don't use it at the start and they get to the battle step does that mean they keep priority between battles? So battle step Lampsies attack damage Calc Back to start of battle step where they retain priority and can keep attacking with prank kids before I can activate anything?
Hey Coder: weird ruling question that came up that i thought would be interesting to feature. this one came up specifically relating to the card "Gear Gigant X" but could probably be applied to a few other similar effects. basically, the scenario was that a player had made "Gear gigant x" with two level 4 earth machines including an "ancient gear box". "Gear gigant x" reads "Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, add 1 Level 4 or lower Machine-Type monster from your Deck or Graveyard to your hand." so the question was, if the player had a valid search target in their deck, but not in their graveyard, and then they detached the ancient gear box as cost for the effect, could they then choose to add the box from grave instead of adding from deck? my understanding was that because the card doesn't separate the effect into two effects, one to add from deck one to add from grave, then that means that the choice of where to add from is made while resolving the effect, in which case i would think you can add the box back, but I also know that these things can sometimes be unintuitive. in any case, i would love to hear your thoughts on this one! thanks!
Under what conditions, if any, can you use Glow-Up Bloom under Droll & Lock Bird, because the condition that allows Bloom to Summon instead of search (Zombie World being on the field) is checked at resolution and not at activation, and therefore isn't verified at that time.
So quick question: Cyber Angel's effect to send a monster on your opponent's side to the graveyard, how does this affect monsters face down and how does this affect cards like Dragun of Red-Eyes (After the opt negate)?
If you summon threshold borg by tribute, instead of using the effect it has to special summon him from your hand, can you then in turn use the part of his effect to make your oppnents monsters lose 500 ATK PTS
What is the spell speed of Spell and Trap cards in the GY? Am I able to chain the fast effect of a non-Counter Trap to the GY effect of Orcust Crescendo? All examples of Quick-Play Spells with effects in the GY that I can find are specifically listed as Ignition-Like or Trigger-Like, and I know the latter is strictly Spell Speed 1.
1. Spell speed of spell in GY is always 1 2. There is nothing so far that I can find about speed spell of Trap in GY but it should be treated as trap anyway so it is speed spell 2 If the trap in GY is trigger effect, it is speed spell 1 instead of 2
So if player a has silver rokket and hieratic heavenly spheres, on player two attempting to activate a magical meltdown, player a then activated spheres and attempts to tribute silver rokket, would you be able to activate silver rokket's effect to destroy itself and snipe cards from player b's extra deck?
Am I allowed to attach 1 xyz material to an Xyz Monster that's face-down? For example: I activate the effect of Number 101 but my opponent Chains with Bookf of Moon
Question: Player 1 activates Demensional Shifter at the start of their MP1. Player 2 chains Artifact Lancea. How does this chain resolve and which card effects the game state for the rest of the turn/into player 2s turn?
0:45 Is there a good reason why you can mind control the kaiju? Why is summoning a kaiju different from taking control of one? Wouldn't both actions contradict with the kaiju restriction?
@@firatd.monkey7330 The kaijus simply state "You can only control 1 kaiju monster", and based on how yugioh normally works you shouldn't be allowed to attempt to perform a contradictory action. Like how you can't even activate pot of desires whilst lancea is active, nor can you activate nibiru whilst winda is on the field. It was just irritating to me how coder gave this question the shortest and weakest explanation despite it being the most surprising ruling based on prior knowledge of the game
@@firatd.monkey7330 If for some reason taking control of monsters is treated differently from other card effects (in the sense that this ruling can be generalized, such as mind control working under tcboo or something) or if this is a ruling specific to kaijus, he should have mentioned that and/or explained why
Had something come up the other day. Opponent had moulinglacia, and I had fullmetalfoes alkahest. I took the moulinglacia and equipped it to alkahest, and used those for fusion material. Who does moulinglacia’s battle phase skipping effect work on
So player 1 activates dragon maid sheous targeting a monster player 2 chains phantom knight wing and uses it to prevent the destruction of his card does the final effect of sheous resolve to bounce?
+DistantCoder I have a great ruling question for you, Rainbow Dragon vs Elemental Hero Wildedge and how that would interact Would wild hearts original effects still be allowed to apply on a 7000 ATK Rainbow Dragon of being immune to trap effects, and blade edge's effect of being able to attack defense position monsters and inflict piercing battle damage=being able to attack every monster I control with it being one attack a monster per battle phase, and he's allowed to bypass any Attack Point gain or modification....? Would I also have had immunity as well because i'm with the highest attack, grand merge wasn't there as if it was to as much special summon the card where it would than only be allowed to attack XYZ monsters, links and my level 10 rainbow dragon at that point....was what my friend attempted an illegal play with the card, or that's legal to jump me and ignore my effect text?
Ruling question. I had Avramax in EMZ equip with Mathmech Billionblade Nayuta. Avramax attack a Special summon monster. During dmg step, I would like to send Mathmech Multiplication for Nayuta and activate Avramax. Does it happen simultaneously in a chain or can I arrange it in separate chain like Nayuta resolve first, Avramax and Multiplication in the next chain?
Building upon the rulings for Lair and Stormforth, are unaffected monsters unable to be used as materials for other forms of summon via card effect, such as Super Poly or Underworld Goddess?
Distant Coder, I know these are old videos but I need a ruling or two thats been idk bugging me. Ruling 1 Lab Silver lady, quick effect that sets a trap on activation of a trap can you chain block the trap with this effect? 2 Cyber Dark End Dragon can you use the grave effect of Big Welcome to remove it from the field? As technically its not an activated effect. If you can help me out with these it would greatly appreciated. 🙂
If i activate widow anchor with 3 spells in grave targeting a monster and my opponent chains widow anchor targeting that same monster would I be able to take control of that monster
Doesn't both 'Monarch's stormforth" and 'Lair of darkness' create a situation where it affects the player and not the monster itself similar to mystic mine and evenly?
Yes. Being unaffected by card effects is not the same as not being able to be used for a type of summon. If the summon does not occur via a card effect, a monster that is unaffected by card effects can still be used for a monsters summoning condition (ultimate falcon or infinitrack megacllops for underworld goddess)
If a card activates "when destroyed by a card effect", then any monster, spell, or trap effect that has the destruction of the card as the final action in its resolution would be able to activate its effect. An example of such a card would be Gear Fortress, which can use its effect to destroy Geartown without causing it to miss timing.
When my opponent activates dark ruler no more while they have no other cards on the field or GY, can i chain dragonmaid tidying on one of my dragons and on dark ruler no more to negate the effect of no respond for monster effects, and then chain hot red dragon archfiend abyss to negate dark ruler no more?
Hey this is just a general ruling question. If a monster says it’s unaffected by all card effects, like “The Arrival” for example. Can it still be affected by cards like dark ruler no more?
Hi Coder, If a player has 5 s/t cards set, among which a droplets and and imperm, can he activate imperm cl1 droplets cl2 sending the imperm for cost and then cl3 activate a qp spell from hand in the zone imperm was set? Or does the zone stay occupied until end of resolution?
Ruling Question - If Player A activates TTT to take control and Player B chains IP Masquerena to it to SS a Knightmare Unicorn and TTT resolves to steal the monster, provided that both players are able to discard for the Unicorn effect, would it resolve and if so who gets the Unicorn effect?
I think the player that now controls the unicorn can activate its effect since you steal it before its effect is able to activate so you steal the unicorn and then you can use its effect even though you are not the one that summoned it
Heros and shadolls are running wild at my locals so sometimes I side in de-fusion because I'm budget AF. If I use de-fusion on my opponents fusion monster, can they special summon the fusion materials from the grave when the fusion monster gets returned to the extra deck? Half the players I ask say no and the others say yes.
No they cannot because the fusion materials are to be revived from your graveyard. As there are no fusion materials in your graveyard for that summon, nothing is revived.
Hey Coder, I was wondering how the Danger! Monsters work when under droll & lock bird? Are you still able to activate their effects in hand and if so, what happens if you discard a non-danger! Off of that effect.
Hi I have a ruling question. ruins of the divine dragon lords, can negate the effect of a face up special summoned monster until the end of the turn, can effects on summon chain block ruins? e.g striker dragon or savage dragon.
So kinda a weird one here. I have 3 cards left in deck. My opponent controls one card. I activate slash draw as cl1 then I chain good goblin housekeeping as cl2 then I chain emergency provisions sending the face up ggh and slash draw as cost, finally I activate transmigration prophecy targeting slash draw and a card in my opponents grace. Will my slash draw resolve?
Hi Coder, How can I tell from the card text that Super Polymerization can be negated by Cerulean Skyfire, despite being SS4? Since Cerulean Skyfire doesn't chain, when does the position change happen? Or if a chain is still being built and I want to negate something in the middle, when does the negate happen/when do I declare the negate?
Only continuous effect that can negate SS4 You do that on resolution of the Superpoly, if you choose to apply, change Hamon to DEF on resolution of the spell effect then its effect of Superpoly is resolved and is negated
I would like an explanation of resolving requirements, so here's an example. If I control just Gishki Gustkraken, and normal summon Reliever, what happens? The effect says you must control another Gishki to activate and resolve it, but wouldn't bouncing the Gustkraken back mean that it doesn't resolve?
How does Trifortressops interact with Destiny Hero Plasma? It says unaffected by other cards' effects. I couldnt take it with Plasma's effect when I tried.
Can a myutant player use Torrential tribute (chain 1) then mutant expansion (chain 2) then upon resolution use the expansion banish effect to protect their monsters, that way only the opponent loses their monsters?
Wait so a monster unaffected by card effects can’t be linked off for unchained, but it can still be tributed for the summon of a Kaiju? What’s the difference there? I get that storm forth/lair of darkness wouldn’t work since they’re card/spell effects, but why not the link summon?
In Unchained Soul of Rage's case, you have a card effect that tells you to use an opponent's monster for a Link Summon, so it does "make sense" that it wouldn't work (keep in mind that you can still attempt to target the unaffected monster, idk if Coder clarified this in the video). When it comes to Kaijus, it is an effect that allows them to be summoned like that, yes, but the tributing itself is some form of "cost", part of the "procedure" for the summon.
Can you explain the interaction between "skill drain" and the weather painter spell and trap cards? It seems to me like there effects would be negated, but since they leave the field they stop being negated. But they only have the effects bc they are on the field. So why do they keep there effects even when they are off of the field?
do kaiju's being unclassified effects result in any differences from summoning condition monsters like lava golem in being able to tribute unaffected monsters? Or is it just that unaffected monsters can still be used for costs?
Why can you chain “destruction sword memories” to “prologue of the destruction sword” after using memories as cost for prologue? And then can you chain a paleo that is discarded for cost to the trap that just discarded it?
Judge! Can you please explain what happens when cards like Apollousa have their effects negated? The card text reads that’s it’s ORIGINAL attack becomes set to a certain value, so would it not lose its attack if it were to be negated by a card like Infinite Impermanence?
If oponent activates bow wow bark and target 2 prank kind monsters to add back to hand, playwr b chains shark cannon to 1 of targets, player a gets to add the 1 prank kind monster left orhe doesnt get to add anything at all?
So just curious about what would happen if a person tributes a pendulum monster for that banned monster that has protection from cards types that were used to summon it(monster, spells, traps)?
Question about Verte Anaconda: Why is the summoning restriction of red eyes fusion not applied when using the effect of Verte Anaconda to summon Red Eyes Dark Dragoon?
Because the restriction of red eyes fusion only occurs when you specifically activate the card. With the effect of verte anaconda you do not activate the card, you only perform the effect
Hey Coder, for those who aren’t familiar with “There Can Only Be One”, could you please explain the do’s and don’ts when this card is activated on the field.
Have 2 prank-kids question for you coder :) 1) can i activate the effect of prank-kids place when i link summon a prank-kids monster (to decrease 500 atk of my opponent monsters) if my opponent controls only a 0 atk monster? 2) can i use the effect of rocket ride to decrease its atk to make him attack directly turn 1? Ty for you amazing content :)
1) Yes, you can always lower the ATK of a monster with 0 ATK but it will stay at 0. Keep in mind that if he wants to boost the monster's ATK he still has to count the decrease of place. 2) Also yes, 'cause "also" seperates both of the effects (lose 1000 ATK, also attack directly). In the case of "also" A and B happen at the same time but neither is required for the other to occur.
My Question: It's my MP1 and my Opponent controls Raidraptor - Arsenal Falcon, and He activates Phantom Knight's Rank-Up-Magic Launch targeting the Arsenal Falcon to summon D/D/D Duo-Dawn King Kali Yuga. Can I Chain Sky Striker - Widow Anchor on the summon from D/D/D Duo-Dawn King Kali Yuga?
Showing Necroface while talking about Omega returning to the ED may be a bit confusing, as Necroface also shuffles all the opponent's banished cards back into the deck, so they wouldn't be able to return to hand.
I have a question. Will a monster that is unaffected by card effects still be affected by a non targeting effect? Such as “swords of revealing light” or “gravity bind”. Thank you
I know that this will be a one in a million chance, but what would happen if both players drew all 5 exodia pieces at the same time. Whether it would be via an effect to draw cards or by some miracle both players draw exodia during the first turn of a duel?
Hi coder, let's say that I activated dragonic diagram's eff to destroy a card in my hand to search and my opponent chained a card like ghost ogre or time thief redoer removing the diagram from the field. Will diagram still give me the search?
If someone crackdowns a monster I have equipped with moon mirror shield and I control another monster also with moon mirror shield would I be able to choose the cl of the moon mirror shields?
I just wanna say thank you so much for this video series coder, i’m pretty sure in the games last 20 years no ones truly taken the time to answer rulings in such a timely manner :).
Live twins and evil twins are some of the few monsters that say “if this card is summoned AND you control” as opposed to “if this card is summoned WHILE you control”. Is there any difference between “and you control” and “while you control”
The difference I can see is simply if the monster is summoned and you control etc means if at the time of activation the conditions were met the effect will activate and resolve but the other way it's written the monster has to remain on the field during the summon and effect activation and resolution so if it gets booked the effect will no longer work
@@eic1990 I think it just means that it will trigger of it and the named card are summoned together, such as a Pendulum Summon. It might mean that, if over the course of the same chain, both are summoned but not at the same Chain Link, they can still trigger.
The only activated effects of non-Continuous/Field cards that fail to resolve when a condition changes between activation and resolution are cards that explicitly say so, or if the action the effect is wanting you to do becomes impossible.
As someone who has dabbled in Lair, unaffected monsters/monster unaffected by spells suck to deal with. You need cards that put a restriction on the player/makes the player remove the card on some way. The effect of Share the Pain is one such example
I asked that Omega question on Twitter which coder answered. Glad to see I’m not the only one confused on that situation and glad it’s now in a video.
Ruling question for you, how do necrovalley and zombie world interact? Are all of zombie world's effects negated, or just the one that changes monsters in the grave to zombies?
I was actually wondering this too
Just the type effect... Necrovalley only prevents type changing effects. Zombie World states two different interactions: Change types on the field and grave and preventing tribute summoning if its not a zombie you attempt to summon
Necrovalley negates the whole sentence in this situation zombie world will be negated. Expect the tribute part
The effect that changes the Type of monsters on the field is the same that changes the Type in the GY. Necrovalley will negate the entire effect and no type change will apply. However, Tribute Summons will still be limited to only Zombies.
Necrovalley is a dumb card
Hey coder, just wanted to let you know that I freaking love your ruling videos! I've learned quite a bit from your videos. Thank you for that. You are the man!
WEIRD Question: The card "Question", as far as I know, is the only card in the game that cares about the order of cards in the GY, asking your opponent to name the monster closest to the bottom of your GY. What I'm wondering is: when performing an action that puts multiple cards in the GY at the same time in terms of event sequencing (resolving Raigeki, performing a Synchro Summon, etc...), is there any standard way to determine in what order the cards go in the GY (that everyone just ignores because it almost never matters), or does the player just choose? In the same vein, is shuffling your GY technically an illegal action?
Well shuffling the GY is indeed illegal and this it is written in the ruelbook as well but like a few people actually care that much. For resolving cards and effect it depends on the situation : if you are performing synchro, fusion, link or ritual summon i think you can choose the order and for cards that put multiple cards in GY, unless differently specified, the order is optional as well.
Yes you can indeed choose the order you put them to gy, but as you said changing the order in your gy After that Is illegal
Along this weird question thread: What happens if you activate "Yu-Jo friendship" with "Unity" in hand during the pandemic? Your opponent legally cant shake your hand, but in the rules of yugioh, they must. Does the universe implode?
@@Saul-YF it was established that you only need to accept the "idea of a handshake" because someone did nasty stuff to their hands before in order to make the oponent refuse the handshake
Cards that go to the GY should basically be sent in any order, as long as they were sent from the field due to only the Chain Link resolving. If a card is sent as cost during the Chain Link, then it should be in the GY at that point in terms of sending to the GY in an order.
I'll be honest. I wasn't expecting the sound effects for the word animations. I was driving and thought those swoosh sounds were coming from my car 😂😂😂
Why do Lair of Darkness and Stormforth need to affect the opponents monster to allow them to be tributed, but Soul Crossing does not?
Konami decided that's how they work.
Not much more to it than that. They like being inconsistent.
presumably, it's because tributing a monster using soul crossing isn't part of soul crossing, but a trait of the tribute summon you perform as part of soul crossing. thus, it isn't a spell effect that's allowing you to tribute the opponent's monster, but rather the tribute summon itself
yes, that's both dumb _and_ still ends up contradicting stuff like unchained soul of disaster, but do you think takahashi would burn down konami hq with his menchi beams over a card like _unchained soul of disaster?_ yeah, i thought not
It could be because Soul Crossing only applies the condition when you are performing the Tribute Summon (which does not start a chain, and so it isn't a card effect that tribute summons while resolving, it's a card effect that resolves, then performs the tribute summon afterwards), as opposed to placing a condition during the turn Stormforth is activated, or while a face-up continuous-like Spell is on the field.
Although the ruling may be official, I think its ultimately illogical. I hope it gets specifically addressed because the explanations given as to why you aren't allowed to tribute the monster is frankly insufficient. Also, it seems that a while back, you WERE able to use something like Lair on a Dark Unaffected monster before the OCG updated its rulings; MSTtv actually has a video on Lair that covers this. The way I see it, Stormforth and Lair have the ability to turn your opponent's field into yours under the appropriate circumstance; it does nothing to "affect" the opponents monsters.
I saw this at a table at my local this week:
One player activated desires and accidentally still had an extra deck card under the banished card. Most likely because he simply missed taking it out from the previous match.
And his opponent immediately was saying that he could call a judge for that and make him lose the game.
To me, that is totally rule sharking, because it doesn't change the game in any way shape, or form.
When you do dice roll you accept that your main, side and extra is all ok. If there is an extra deck card in your main deck after you finish dice roll you will probably get game loss'ed. This is not rule sharking this is enforcing proper gameplay.
@@prastal Yeah, but it doesn't really change the outcome, like banishing too much or too little
@@MeiteiReviews it matters if you are in a official sanctioned event but it doesnt really matter in locals probably
Question about Gozen Match: Opponent has Gozen Match face-up on the field. I control an Adamancipator tuner and another random earth monster. Am i allowed to link-summon for Crystron Halqifibrax? Why or why not?
edit: Would the same rule also apply for Rivalry of Warlords, since the text is basically the same?
no because halq is water and gozen say that you locked in that what you have on field and you can also only activate effects which would summon this type
Its the second line of text imo but i could be wrong, it says "cant control" which means you CANT make even an attempt to summon something with a different attribute then the monsters on the field.
You are not allowed to summon Halqifibrax. If you have an earth monster on the field you are not allowed to attempt a summon of a non-earth Monster bc Gozen Match restricts you to 1 attribute only
The gamestate only allows summons of the actual monster types you control (Earth), so in this case you aren't allowed to summon Crystron Halqifibrax (Water).
It is the same example with trying to summon a Kaiju to your opponent's field using Archfiend Kristya or Vanity's Fiend as tribute. While these monsters are face-up on the field, neither player can attempt to special summon monsters, so the gamestate doesn't allow special summons in any matter.
Thank you to everyone for the quick responses!
these videos are really helpful, keep em up coder!
Hi Coder, I have a goat ruling question: Player A attacks a set Cyber jar, the jar is flipped face-up and its effect triggers destroying all monsters on the field. Since Player A is the turn player he has the precedence when resolving the second part of the effect, so he excavates the top 5 cards of his deck and special summons a Jowgen, the spiritualist in face up attack position. The question is: is player B now allowed to summon any monster when it's his turn to resolve the cyber jar or will he just add all cards to his hand? Thank you for the advice
Yes it is allowed. Even if the turn player resolves first, it is still considered to have happened all at the same time, and thus Jowgen only starts applying his effect after both players finish special summoning.
still loving this series keep up the good work man
Scenario: my op has a Cherubini, 2 other monsters and a fog blade targeting my monster. If I activate needle ceiling, can my op save his Cherubini sending the fog blade? Or is the fog blade considered to be sent to the grave at the same time as the monsters destroyed by the needle ceiling? Thanks
I have been in this scenario before, and I think that since Cherubini isn’t an activated effect to protect itself, like dingirisu, it can be chained to needle ceiling to send the fog blade
Fog Blade does not protect Cherubini from destruction, as it only prevents it from attacking or being attacked. Fog Blade will be sent at the same time as all other monsters affected by Needle Ceiling, but, on a new chain, your opponent can activate Fog Blade in a different chain to banish itself and Special Summon any "The Phantom Knights" from the GY.
Even though the fog blade would be destroyed in most cases when needle ceiling resolves, it is not marked for destruction by the needle ceiling itself. Therefore it can be destroyed as a substitute for Cherubini.
@@rolandholmdahl797 that's not what he was asking
@@rolandholmdahl797 cherubini has a continuous protection effect that if it would be destroyed send another card you control to the grave we know fog doesn't have protection he was wondering if cherubini can send the activated fog to keep it alive.
Goat format question 🥴. Player A has stumbling active on the field and a set ring of destruction and a monster in face up position player B Sp chaos sorcerer in defense position player A chains ring of destruction to chaos sorc player B calls prio attempting to banish the face up monster question is does player B chaos sorc gets to banish the face up monster before ring resolves or does player A gets to save his monster by chaining ring of destruction to chaos sorc.
Old format prio exists so anyway Chaos Socrecer would banish targetted monster
Judge question: player A has Raidraptor final fortress falcon in grave and one on field with a Raidraptor xyz as material Player B plays called by the grave on the final fortress in the graveyard. Does the Final fortress on field have it's effect negated, and if not can it use it's effect to detach the material?
CBTG does not prevent the activation of effects, it only negates the activated effects and continuous effects on the field. If Final Fortress has any Raid Raptor XYZ as material, it will be unaffected by CBTG. IF Final Fortress were to detach its last material to activate the first effect, it will no longer be unaffected by CBTG, so its effect will resolve negated.
Crystal Abundance vs summon blockers:
Subset 1) you have all monsters be valid summon targets on GY or Spell/Trap zone (ex rivalry of warlords+zombie world, you have a monster on the field, all CB in GY are zombies on activation and could be summoned via Monster Reborn)
Subset 2) you have somr valid targets in GY/backrow (ex Barrier Statue of Stormwinds is on the field, you have Sapphire Pegasus on the Backrow)
Subset 3) there are no valid targets that could be immediately summoned but you could legally special summon monsters in some way (ex same scenario as above but no Pegasus)
Subset 4) completely unable to special summon (ex Vanity's Ruler)
Ty for answering my question!
Thanks for the series. ❤️👍
Aye coder big love, keep these vids coming. Content is incredible 💪🏻
I think the familiar possessed field spell deserves it's own video
Love these ruling videos!
Ruling question:
Amazement Arlekino is on board.
Opponent summons a monster with a trigger eff (for example orcust Girsu)
Girsu cl1 arlekino cl2 to equip Viking vortex from the deck.
Chain resolves, does the Girsu get bounct to the hand ?
Timing question: I have Batteryman Micro-Cell set and my opponent attacks into it, so it's flipped. I use it's effect to summon Batteryman 9-Volt. I understand that 9-Volt gets it's effect to search before the Micro-Cell is destroyed, but I don't understand why it does instead of missing it's timing.
Micro Cell should trigger as chain link 1, after damage calculation, assuming on other effects trigger then. If that is the case, 9 Volt is summoned at the appropriate timing and can trigger, since it being summoned was the last thing to happen.
I'd like an explanation on how conflicting clauses interact, specifically with the clause "ignoring the summoning conditions". I know it isn't treated as a proper summon, so revival is out, but can I, say, use Waking the Dragon to summon Shooting Quasar Dragon, which says it must be synchro summoned, since WtD ignores summoning conditions?
Ignoring the summoning conditions overrides the text "Cannot be special summoned" for monsters in the GY or hand/deck (such as sphere mode or spirit monsters), but for monsters which "must be [method] summoned" (such as neos fusion-accessible fusion monsters, or mask change "HERO" monsters), it only overrides that text for the hand/deck/extra deck but not the GY (which is why sacred beasts improperly sent to GY can't be resurrected by hyper blaze or whatever it's called).
The former says what you cannot do, while the latter says what you must do. For the latter, you can only ignore summoning conditions to revive them if they were properly summoned then hit the GY after.
This topic is still something I have to return to sometimes to remind myself how it works, so if I goofed on something, feel free to let me know.
Follow up to Kaiju Mind control:
Tribute 1 monster from my opponent to special Kaiju to their field, special 1 Kaiju from hand to my field, Mind control resolves, mind controlled Kaiju goes to grave. Can I now activate "A Deal with Dark Ruler"?
Question being did I ever control the second Kaiju that was sent to the grave to meet the requirements of "A Deal with Dark Ruler"?
Yes, you did control the other Kaiju. So long as the stolen Kaiju is Level 8 or higher, you may use Deal with Dark Ruler.

Interesting question.
Player A has masked HERO Dark Law face up on the field and activates "Exchange" and gives Player B any card (ex. Elemental HERO Shadow mist)
Can player B then use a card like Forbidden Droplets to send my Elemental HERO Shadow mist from their hand/Field to negate my Dark Law since Dark law states only cards that get sent to the opponents GY is banished and not mine.
If the card would not go to the GY for any reason, it cannot be used as cost for Droplet
Thank you for this video. I would ask the difference between the "then", "and if you do" and the "," in resolution and the missing timing please
Question about Amaze attraction card and their interaction with Traptrix monster.
First part of the question : can a card like amaze attraction cyclo-coaster targets a card that is unaffected by trap effects like Traptrix Sera ?
Second part of the question : if cyclo-coaster can equip itself to Traptrix Sera, can it uses its effect to add an “Amazement” monster from deck to hand since the effect doesn’t really affects the opponent Traptrix Sera.
For both question: why NOT?
@@jofx4051 I’m asking…
Because of the clause unnafected by trap effect on Traptrix Sera. Maybe you can’t equip your trap card to it
@@alexandrelandry7615 You can just equip with Trap or activate trap to Sera as normal but Sera would not be affected by those trap effects
Ruling question:
Both Jinzo and Skill Drain are face-up on the field.
Then say Effect Veiler is used to negate Jinzo and Trap Stun on Skill Drain. (Effectively negating both of them until the end of the turn)
As Trap Stun and Veiler wear off at the same time, which card takes precedent and negates the other (Jinzo or Skill Drain)?
One incorrect judge ruling that cost me a match at locals that people should know if you’re a Paleo Frog player like me:
I had 3 paleo trap (monsters) on field. They activate DRNM, they then attempt to Zeus the field and I knew for a fact that my paleos are unaffected by monster effects regardless if your try to negate them but I explained ina. Weird way I guess. I said it’s the trap effect that makes then unaffected , not a monster effect. I lost the match and they then came back later and apologized for the incorrect ruling because they realized paleos are NORMAL monsters also negating then does nothing.
Quick niche interaction: Player A has Crimson Nova Trinity on board, Player B summons a Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon (just a random fusion monster), Player A then activates Solemn Strike paying the 1500 life points. Does Crimson Nova Trinity's Last Effect trigger?
No. Player A never took effect damage, they only paid LP to activate an effect.
@@corebren2510 Thank You, I was wondering if paying lp counted towards effect damage. The more you know

Just to make sure: Night beam is activated targeting my set rivalry of warlord. I chain crystron halqifibrax then I chain rivalry. Do I get to ss a synchro from my Ed that is not machine? Does rivalry gets destroyed by night beam even though it's no longer set?
What if Zombie World is on the field, does that affect halq's eff?
After this video, I now know some rulings.
Ruling question involving Dogmatika Fleurdelis and Destiny HERO - Plasma. If Plasma is on the field and I have another fusion HERO on the field. Opponent has Ecclesia on their field, opponent activated Fleur and summons her. Are they able to negate plasma or would her effect be negated? Happened to me on EdoPro.
YGO Omega BGM is so chill
If my opponent has a prank kid weather washer rocksies and lampsies and I have a set revolt and they enter the battle phase if I don't use it at the start and they get to the battle step does that mean they keep priority between battles?
So battle step
Lampsies attack damage Calc
Back to start of battle step where they retain priority and can keep attacking with prank kids before I can activate anything?
Can you special summon PUGM using Pinch Hopper? This was the case in The Sacred Cards so yeah.
Yeah but timing sucks with pinch hopper. You literally can’t even link it off to get that effect. Nothing can happen after it leaves
Hey Coder: weird ruling question that came up that i thought would be interesting to feature. this one came up specifically relating to the card "Gear Gigant X" but could probably be applied to a few other similar effects.
basically, the scenario was that a player had made "Gear gigant x" with two level 4 earth machines including an "ancient gear box". "Gear gigant x" reads "Once per turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, add 1 Level 4 or lower Machine-Type monster from your Deck or Graveyard to your hand." so the question was, if the player had a valid search target in their deck, but not in their graveyard, and then they detached the ancient gear box as cost for the effect, could they then choose to add the box from grave instead of adding from deck?
my understanding was that because the card doesn't separate the effect into two effects, one to add from deck one to add from grave, then that means that the choice of where to add from is made while resolving the effect, in which case i would think you can add the box back, but I also know that these things can sometimes be unintuitive. in any case, i would love to hear your thoughts on this one!
thanks!
Under what conditions, if any, can you use Glow-Up Bloom under Droll & Lock Bird, because the condition that allows Bloom to Summon instead of search (Zombie World being on the field) is checked at resolution and not at activation, and therefore isn't verified at that time.
You can only do so while Zombie World is on the field.
Yep as the comment says. Youre not allowed to cl1 bloom cl2 banshee. Zw has to be face up.
So quick question: Cyber Angel's effect to send a monster on your opponent's side to the graveyard, how does this affect monsters face down and how does this affect cards like Dragun of Red-Eyes (After the opt negate)?
If you summon threshold borg by tribute, instead of using the effect it has to special summon him from your hand, can you then in turn use the part of his effect to make your oppnents monsters lose 500 ATK PTS
What is the spell speed of Spell and Trap cards in the GY? Am I able to chain the fast effect of a non-Counter Trap to the GY effect of Orcust Crescendo?
All examples of Quick-Play Spells with effects in the GY that I can find are specifically listed as Ignition-Like or Trigger-Like, and I know the latter is strictly Spell Speed 1.
1. Spell speed of spell in GY is always 1
2. There is nothing so far that I can find about speed spell of Trap in GY but it should be treated as trap anyway so it is speed spell 2
If the trap in GY is trigger effect, it is speed spell 1 instead of 2
So if player a has silver rokket and hieratic heavenly spheres, on player two attempting to activate a magical meltdown, player a then activated spheres and attempts to tribute silver rokket, would you be able to activate silver rokket's effect to destroy itself and snipe cards from player b's extra deck?
Am I allowed to attach 1 xyz material to an Xyz Monster that's face-down? For example: I activate the effect of Number 101 but my opponent Chains with Bookf of Moon
Yes, the material will be attached just fine.
Question:

0:45 Is there a good reason why you can mind control the kaiju? Why is summoning a kaiju different from taking control of one? Wouldn't both actions contradict with the kaiju restriction?
He explained it lol 'cause you aren't summoning a Kaiju. Taking control of a monster is not a summon.
@@firatd.monkey7330 Wow I didn't know taking control was not a summon, how insightful of you :/
@@firatd.monkey7330 The kaijus simply state "You can only control 1 kaiju monster", and based on how yugioh normally works you shouldn't be allowed to attempt to perform a contradictory action. Like how you can't even activate pot of desires whilst lancea is active, nor can you activate nibiru whilst winda is on the field.
It was just irritating to me how coder gave this question the shortest and weakest explanation despite it being the most surprising ruling based on prior knowledge of the game
@@firatd.monkey7330 If for some reason taking control of monsters is treated differently from other card effects (in the sense that this ruling can be generalized, such as mind control working under tcboo or something) or if this is a ruling specific to kaijus, he should have mentioned that and/or explained why
Had something come up the other day. Opponent had moulinglacia, and I had fullmetalfoes alkahest. I took the moulinglacia and equipped it to alkahest, and used those for fusion material. Who does moulinglacia’s battle phase skipping effect work on
You.
The effect to skip the battle phase of the next turn applies to whoever controlled it when it left the field.
So player 1 activates dragon maid sheous targeting a monster player 2 chains phantom knight wing and uses it to prevent the destruction of his card does the final effect of sheous resolve to bounce?
+DistantCoder I have a great ruling question for you, Rainbow Dragon vs Elemental Hero Wildedge and how that would interact
Would wild hearts original effects still be allowed to apply on a 7000 ATK Rainbow Dragon of being immune to trap effects, and blade edge's effect of being able to attack defense position monsters and inflict piercing battle damage=being able to attack every monster I control with it being one attack a monster per battle phase, and he's allowed to bypass any Attack Point gain or modification....?
Would I also have had immunity as well because i'm with the highest attack, grand merge wasn't there as if it was to as much special summon the card where it would than only be allowed to attack XYZ monsters, links and my level 10 rainbow dragon at that point....was what my friend attempted an illegal play with the card, or that's legal to jump me and ignore my effect text?
Can you explain the difference about hard once per turn and soft once per turn?
Ruling question.
I had Avramax in EMZ equip with Mathmech Billionblade Nayuta. Avramax attack a Special summon monster. During dmg step, I would like to send Mathmech Multiplication for Nayuta and activate Avramax.

Building upon the rulings for Lair and Stormforth, are unaffected monsters unable to be used as materials for other forms of summon via card effect, such as Super Poly or Underworld Goddess?
Super Poly affects monsters, Underworld Goddess does not as it isn't a card effect.
Distant Coder, I know these are old videos but I need a ruling or two thats been idk bugging me.
Ruling 1 Lab Silver lady, quick effect that sets a trap on activation of a trap can you chain block the trap with this effect?
2 Cyber Dark End Dragon can you use the grave effect of Big Welcome to remove it from the field? As technically its not an activated effect.
If you can help me out with these it would greatly appreciated. 🙂
If i activate widow anchor with 3 spells in grave targeting a monster and my opponent chains widow anchor targeting that same monster would I be able to take control of that monster
Straight NO, this is a thing that most Striker player or any player against Striker would have known
Doesn't both 'Monarch's stormforth" and 'Lair of darkness' create a situation where it affects the player and not the monster itself similar to mystic mine and evenly?
Following up on the multi faker ruling, why does time thief adjuster not work?
now as same example like unchained soul of rage..
would you be able to use a monster unaffected by card effects to link summon underworld goddess?
Yes. Being unaffected by card effects is not the same as not being able to be used for a type of summon. If the summon does not occur via a card effect, a monster that is unaffected by card effects can still be used for a monsters summoning condition (ultimate falcon or infinitrack megacllops for underworld goddess)
Dear Coder,
We talked about a lot of "When" card miss timing, but can you give few example of situation where "When" effect can successfully happen?
When a card is destroyed by battle.
If a card activates "when destroyed by a card effect", then any monster, spell, or trap effect that has the destruction of the card as the final action in its resolution would be able to activate its effect. An example of such a card would be Gear Fortress, which can use its effect to destroy Geartown without causing it to miss timing.
When my opponent activates dark ruler no more while they have no other cards on the field or GY, can i chain dragonmaid tidying on one of my dragons and on dark ruler no more to negate the effect of no respond for monster effects, and then chain hot red dragon archfiend abyss to negate dark ruler no more?
Hey this is just a general ruling question.
If a monster says it’s unaffected by all card effects, like “The Arrival” for example.
Can it still be affected by cards like dark ruler no more?
It is not effected by DRNM

Ruling Question - If Player A activates TTT to take control and Player B chains IP Masquerena to it to SS a Knightmare Unicorn and TTT resolves to steal the monster, provided that both players are able to discard for the Unicorn effect, would it resolve and if so who gets the Unicorn effect?
I think the player that now controls the unicorn can activate its effect since you steal it before its effect is able to activate so you steal the unicorn and then you can use its effect even though you are not the one that summoned it
Ask your head judge. There's nothing concrete on this.
Heros and shadolls are running wild at my locals so sometimes I side in de-fusion because I'm budget AF. If I use de-fusion on my opponents fusion monster, can they special summon the fusion materials from the grave when the fusion monster gets returned to the extra deck? Half the players I ask say no and the others say yes.
No they cannot because the fusion materials are to be revived from your graveyard. As there are no fusion materials in your graveyard for that summon, nothing is revived.
Hey Coder, I was wondering how the Danger! Monsters work when under droll & lock bird? Are you still able to activate their effects in hand and if so, what happens if you discard a non-danger! Off of that effect.
You can activate the danger monsters effects, and resolve as much as possible. If you discard a danger after droll, you will not get the draw.
Hi I have a ruling question.
ruins of the divine dragon lords, can negate the effect of a face up special summoned monster until the end of the turn, can effects on summon chain block ruins? e.g striker dragon or savage dragon.

Will my slash draw resolve?

Hi Coder,
How can I tell from the card text that Super Polymerization can be negated by Cerulean Skyfire, despite being SS4?
Since Cerulean Skyfire doesn't chain, when does the position change happen?
Or if a chain is still being built and I want to negate something in the middle, when does the negate happen/when do I declare the negate?
Only continuous effect that can negate SS4
You do that on resolution of the Superpoly, if you choose to apply, change Hamon to DEF on resolution of the spell effect then its effect of Superpoly is resolved and is negated
I would like an explanation of resolving requirements, so here's an example. If I control just Gishki Gustkraken, and normal summon Reliever, what happens? The effect says you must control another Gishki to activate and resolve it, but wouldn't bouncing the Gustkraken back mean that it doesn't resolve?
If the effect was activated while it was stil on field then you’re good
How does Trifortressops interact with Destiny Hero Plasma? It says unaffected by other cards' effects. I couldnt take it with Plasma's effect when I tried.
Lost world list "a token" not specifically an egg so dose it work if your opponent control any token
Can a myutant player use Torrential tribute (chain 1) then mutant expansion (chain 2) then upon resolution use the expansion banish effect to protect their monsters, that way only the opponent loses their monsters?
Wait so a monster unaffected by card effects can’t be linked off for unchained, but it can still be tributed for the summon of a Kaiju? What’s the difference there? I get that storm forth/lair of darkness wouldn’t work since they’re card/spell effects, but why not the link summon?
In Unchained Soul of Rage's case, you have a card effect that tells you to use an opponent's monster for a Link Summon, so it does "make sense" that it wouldn't work (keep in mind that you can still attempt to target the unaffected monster, idk if Coder clarified this in the video).
When it comes to Kaijus, it is an effect that allows them to be summoned like that, yes, but the tributing itself is some form of "cost", part of the "procedure" for the summon.
My opponent controls a kaiju, I activate kaiju slumber and my opponent chains forbidden lance targeting their kaiju. How does this resolve?
Can you explain the interaction between "skill drain" and the weather painter spell and trap cards?
It seems to me like there effects would be negated, but since they leave the field they stop being negated. But they only have the effects bc they are on the field. So why do they keep there effects even when they are off of the field?
do kaiju's being unclassified effects result in any differences from summoning condition monsters like lava golem in being able to tribute unaffected monsters? Or is it just that unaffected monsters can still be used for costs?
In that kind of scenario, it doesn't make a difference, yes.
Why can you chain “destruction sword memories” to “prologue of the destruction sword” after using memories as cost for prologue? And then can you chain a paleo that is discarded for cost to the trap that just discarded it?
Judge! Can you please explain what happens when cards like Apollousa have their effects negated? The card text reads that’s it’s ORIGINAL attack becomes set to a certain value, so would it not lose its attack if it were to be negated by a card like Infinite Impermanence?
Yes, it would lose it.
If oponent activates bow wow bark and target 2 prank kind monsters to add back to hand, playwr b chains shark cannon to 1 of targets, player a gets to add the 1 prank kind monster left orhe doesnt get to add anything at all?
The other target is returned.
So just curious about what would happen if a person tributes a pendulum monster for that banned monster that has protection from cards types that were used to summon it(monster, spells, traps)?
A Pendulum monster is always a Monster card.
Question about Verte Anaconda: Why is the summoning restriction of red eyes fusion not applied when using the effect of Verte Anaconda to summon Red Eyes Dark Dragoon?
Because the restriction of red eyes fusion only occurs when you specifically activate the card. With the effect of verte anaconda you do not activate the card, you only perform the effect
Hey Coder, for those who aren’t familiar with “There Can Only Be One”, could you please explain the do’s and don’ts when this card is activated on the field.

1) Yes, you can always lower the ATK of a monster with 0 ATK but it will stay at 0. Keep in mind that if he wants to boost the monster's ATK he still has to count the decrease of place.
2) Also yes, 'cause "also" seperates both of the effects (lose 1000 ATK, also attack directly). In the case of "also" A and B happen at the same time but neither is required for the other to occur.
My Question: It's my MP1 and my Opponent controls Raidraptor - Arsenal Falcon, and He activates Phantom Knight's Rank-Up-Magic Launch targeting the Arsenal Falcon to summon D/D/D Duo-Dawn King Kali Yuga. Can I Chain Sky Striker - Widow Anchor on the summon from D/D/D Duo-Dawn King Kali Yuga?
No, you cannot
Showing Necroface while talking about Omega returning to the ED may be a bit confusing, as Necroface also shuffles all the opponent's banished cards back into the deck, so they wouldn't be able to return to hand.
Burial from the different dimension would have been better
I have a question. Will a monster that is unaffected by card effects still be affected by a non targeting effect? Such as “swords of revealing light” or “gravity bind”.
Thank you
I know that this will be a one in a million chance, but what would happen if both players drew all 5 exodia pieces at the same time. Whether it would be via an effect to draw cards or by some miracle both players draw exodia during the first turn of a duel?
ruling question: red-eyes dark dragoon activates its effect destroying a face down monster, does the burn effect still apply
Yes
Hi coder, let's say that I activated dragonic diagram's eff to destroy a card in my hand to search and my opponent chained a card like ghost ogre or time thief redoer removing the diagram from the field. Will diagram still give me the search?
If someone crackdowns a monster I have equipped with moon mirror shield and I control another monster also with moon mirror shield would I be able to choose the cl of the moon mirror shields?
