Honestly that would be broken, this would basically be electrumite but you directly set it making it instantly live. Now would that be better than electrumite? Doubtful, but,itstill would be a generic link 2 search any card in your deck at any point you need to do so. For example if you are missing a combo piece just go union carrier and search it.
No but what is creative is equipping Carrier with Lyna the Light Charmer and sending her and Carrier to grave to ss Familiar Possessed Lyna from deck then using Lyna's effect on Summon to add Servant of Endymion to hand 😂😂
Can you please give a 30 second "crash course" on when cards check things? As in the difference between cards that check on activation and cards that check on resolution. How to know which is which etc?
Yeah i was wondering about how the magibullet link works. I once popped a continuous trap later in the chain and didn't know whether I should have summoned 2 or 3.
I enjoyed the visuals in this video! Also, that Evil Twin ruling was very surprising to me! I didn't know effects like that waited until after the entire chain has resolved.
An interesting thing to point out with the Evil Twin thing that you can take advantage of the same is true when resolving the Live Twins. Thus, if your opponent chains to a Live Twin summoning from deck, you can chain Droplet, send the Twin you activated and the other twin will be the only monster you control. It's a neat way to still make plays when facing negates.
Can I chain Monster Gate in response to another Spell like for example Mask Change? I saw someone use this big brain strat live. Surprisingly (and conveniently) there was no judge to say no to this play.
Ruling question: can i summon "Familiar-Possessed - Lyna" from my deck using a "Lyna the Light Charmer" that is equipt via Union carrier to a light monster or does "Lyna the Light Charmer" needs to be in the main monster zone?
Emails are unreliable at best. Lyna and other cards like her have been consistently ruled as needing to send the named cards from the Monster Zone to summon herself. Worst case, ask your head judge
Question on a ruling: Person A attempts to activate thunder dragon fusion and person B chains to activation joyous melffys effect to bounce self and special summon 2 level 2 or lower beast from graveyard (since it had 2 material), including melffy puppy. On a new chain, after both summons resolve, person B attempts to activate melffy puppy effect to the summon of thunder dragon titan but our judge ruled it as an illegal play. I don’t understand why so I ask you.
Somehow related to the Evil twins ruling. Does phantom kinghts of rusty bardiche destroy effect triggers if you for example, activate rank-up magic shoul shave force targeting raidraptor force strix, and when summoned from the gy, i summon it on a zone bardiche points to, but i overlay cyber dragon infinity in a different MMZ that bardiche doesnt points to. EDOPro and other simulators allow me to activate bardiche there. Is it correct? And if it is, whats the reason? Whats the difference between this and the evil twins ruling? Thanks Coder, love your content, keep it up
I know the answer, I just want more people to know the interaction of one reborn tengu in hand, field and gy. Link into Saryuja, reborn has to been cl1 since it's mandatory even with no targets.
Here's a simple but cool question. CL1 Mask Change, opponent uses Karma Cut CL2 onto the HERO monster targeted by Mask Change, then you use Book of Moon CL3 onto your own HERO monster. How does it resolve? (I believe the monster is sent to the GY while face-down and still properly Special Summons the appropriate Masked HERO).
You done a good job in explaining face-down fusion mechanics. However I think it will be a good topic to point out for the next episode the fact that you are not allowed to fusion summon specifically Chimeratech Fortress Dragon using your set CD core.(via contact fusion,considering your face-down core and a machine-type monster your opponent controls are the only cyber dragon monsters on field)
@@dakinwatson3782 yep, I am aware. I specifically asked about the chimeratech fortress dragon using a face-down core, since core's unclassified effect makes him a "cyber dragon" but since those kinds of effects work in a unique way, not of the people is unsure about this peculiar case.
I have a question about a situation that comes up in my infernoble deck. If I have DDR equipped to for example my Immortal Phoenix gearfried and the DDR leaves the field, but the gearfried is indestructible because it's equipped by Infernoble Knight Ogier, does the Gearfried stay on field? And does is make a difference if the monster is indestructible by its own effect or like in this example by another card? And does it make a difference how DDR leaves the field, for example by an opponents MST or by Gearfrieds own effect to negate?
Here's another interesting ruling I thought of. If a monster would return to the bottom of the Main Deck if it leaves the field, and it becomes the target of Karma Cut, if you chain Lancea, will the monster not leave the field, or will it return to the bottom of the Deck anyway?
Ruling question: Are you allowed to use Fog Blade on an unaffected monster (such as Blackwing Full Armor Master) and if so, is the opponent allowed to attack the equipped monster?
Ruling question. In a hypothetical, can Subterror Guru’s book of moon effect become a quick effect when the subterror trap final battle is activated For hypothetical example let suppose that the guru player has guru face up, a subterror face down, and final battle set. On the opponents turn is it legal for the opponent to normal summon a monster, then on the summon, the guru player activated final battle as CL1 to flip the face down subterror face up and Cl2 activate guru’s effect to flip itself and the opponents normal summon face down
No you cannot do that example, Final battle has to completely resolve in order for Guru to be face up for it to activate its quick effect, so final battle to flip guru face up and gurus quick effect cannot ever be CL1 and CL2, It will be CL1 Final battle, Resolves flips guru Face up and Final battle will be reset then you can Activate guru on a new chain as CL1 (his flip effect or Book effect)
If you special summon a "Burning Abyss" monster while you control a non BA monster via a card that negates the effects of the summoned monster like "Living Fossil" or "Overdone Burial" does the BA monster get destroyed? Interestingly enough EdoPro destroys the monster when summoned with "Overdone Burial" but does not when summoned with "Living Fossil" (even though I think that used to be different).
Question 7:00 Can you use that face down monster for a fusion summon even if it's not yours but on your side of the field, like a snatch steal a monster that is face down, then use it for a fusion summon?
Ruling Question If machina sniper (Monsters cannot attack "Machina" monsters, except "Machina Sniper". ) is on the field along with Machina Defense Perimeter( While you control a Level 7 or higher Machine monster, your opponent's monsters cannot target Level 6 or lower Machine monsters you control for attacks, also your opponent cannot target them with card effects.) which card takes priority.
Ruling question: I understand that I cannot activate Interrupted Kaiju Slumber while Vanity's Fiend is on my opponent's field because the B in A then B is impossible to achieve at present. Why then, can I activate the effect of Performage Trick Clown during a turn in which my opponent has activated Dark Ruler No More?
Scenario: I have a Conquistador that is currently treated as a monster in my center monster zone, which I previously summoned from my far right S/T zone. My opponent now activates an infinite impermanence in their far left S/T zone and successfully negates an effect monster I control. Question: does the Conquistador remain as a monster on the field?
Player A uses Drytron Alpha Thuban, tributing Benten. Alpha resolves, searching a ritual. Can player B use droll at this point and if so, would Benten not be able to search
Hey Distant, got an old ruling for ya that people are ruling different. Knightmare links when summoned while being co-linked use effects to target a card, opponent chains effect to remove the target or removing the co-link. Does the draw still happen??
Similar to the fusion summoning mechanic and public knowledge: would I be able to summon Flower Cardian Peony with Butterfly by tributing a face down Flower Cardian monster?
My question is about unchained, its really kind of 2 questions. 1: when setting a card from your gy with sarama, why can you (if you can) set Disaster face down on the field without a tribute? 2: when performing this action, does this count as a special summon or no? Can i resolve the full effect under vanity's ruler
First question: you can because it's a unchained card Second question: 90% sure disaster isn't a legal target in that situation, but might be wrong on this one
Yes you can use Sarama to set disaster you dont need to tribute, Yes it is considered a SS, No you cannot activate Sarama with Ruler on Field IF your trying to SS "set" a monster FD, You can set a S/T and resolve her effect normally but whatever you destroy wont be able to trigger and SS from deck
1. You van set disaster face-down because it is special summon set not a normal set and you only tribute summon monster from hand to field 2. Yes, so under Vanity Ruler u can only target Unchained S/T in GY
can my opponent activate break sword pop ef while I control charles equipped with metalsilver armor and oliver? if he can, does he have to target only spells or traps?
@@ocean6332 metalsilver work in efs that target 1 monster, break ef target 1 card on each side, not sure if that’s considered as targetting 2 cards, bc if it does, the ef could target monsters
Opponent can activate Break Sword pop only if he has his S/T to pop; say in the field you only control Charles equipped with those so he can choose one of their card to pop and the spell and trap you control cause they cannot target Charles because of Olivier
Can you explain how Zombie World works under Necrovalley? I often have people think it means only the grave monsters don't change types whereas it should prevent all monsters from becoming zombies.
No it should not, necrovalley specifically says "Negate any card *effect* ..." it doesn't say negate the entire card, vut only the card effect that would fall under nacrovalleys requirements. And zombie world has two different effects, the first changes atributes, the second is that you cannot tribute monsters except zombie monsters. They are two seperate continous effects.
Hey Coder, great video! I had a question, if Ki-sikil and Lil-la's trigger eff. said "if this card is special summoned WHILE you control..." instead of "if this card is special summoned AND you control..." would the activation requirement be fulfilled? Also, I was interpreting Shaddoll Schism effect to send to activate on a new chain (needing the Shaddoll fusion to still be on field to check atribute). Is this right? I interpreted it like this because each eff is in a different sentence. Best, Nicolás
1. Isn't that same meaning from what I am seeing...? 2. Shaddoll Schism is wording with 'then' connector so it is actually should be in a sentence so what it does is fusion summon then check what attribute do you fusion and you can send say Eldlich the Golden Lord (LIGHT) if you summon Construct (LIGHT) to field and it is in same chain as that card is activated, NOT in different chain but the action is not done in same time
If I reborn a pankratops with ice dragon prison, I can for sure activate the effect of pankratops, but it will resolve? The game still treats the pankratops in the grave as the same reborned and negated by ice dragon prison?
The effect was activated on the field, so it will be negated. For example you can activate a negated Shaddoll when used as a fusion material but if you use Raye under skill drain, no monster will be summoned from the extra deck.
@@sanik6411the last part you said it's not true:raye works under skill drain as well as pankratops for example. And about the first part its cuz the text from "ice prison dragon" says:(but its effects are negated)
Coder, I have a question for a ruling that came up recently. I used the effect of UCT to flip my opponents monsters, then my opponent used Triple Tactics Talent to take my UCT. Is my opponent allowed to use the effect of UCT again?
Once per turn, during either player's Main Phase: You can etc The effect says you, unless you are playing against yourself I'm pretty sure the opponent is another person, he can
@@erichp9896 no you are wrong, If he steals UTC he cannot use the effect as its already been used that turn, Regardless is he is a different player or not
Once per turn means that you can only apply the effect once during that turn with that monater; so if someone has trigger it and opp take control it, opp cannot activate it cause it has been used
i have a bunch of questions. 1) does skypalace gangaridai attack after activating its effect then it gets negated with impermanance? 2) is changing the control of a card considered another special summon? (i mean can you mind control a monster after for example being under summon limit or shadoll winda?) 3) does access code's boost stay after being negated? 4) when does a card need to tell which effect to use (like balderoch is at resolution and triple tactics talent is at activation) what makes the difference in wording? 5) how can we know the cost of the card in the text wording? thank you fro your help
1. You can attack wuth it if the monster is negated 2. NO obviously 3. NO, it is same if dante mills and afterwards it gets negated 4. Clearly Balerdroch let you choose its effect when you resolving while TTT makes you choose when you activate it 5. Cost is alwayd paid at activation of a card then you do the effect, if you cannot pay the cost you cannot activate the card at all and you cannot refund the cost if the card failed to resolve properly (such as negated or have its activation negated), and as far as in game, destroy is NOT cost
Here's a question I have. Say I manage to summon Knightmare Gryphon in my center monster zone through a Live Twin combo, which allows you to have Gryphon on board with no monsters in the extra monster zones. Does this lock down the opponent from all monster effects on the field, or some other interaction?
Gryphon stops non-linked Special Summoned monsters from activating their effects. Effects in hand/grave/banished, and effects of Normal Summoned monsters can still be activated. If they can get their monsters linked, they can use the effects of Special Summoned monsters then.
The Evil Twin Ruling is wrong. As you stated on the eff of Bardish, its a Condition to have the other Monster on the Field . So as long the Condition to activate is met during the Summon, you can activate the eff. Also the correct text is "If this card is Special Summoned AND YOU control a "Ki-sikil" monster" and not "while you control a kisikil monster. It checks imerdently on the Summon.
The same Ruling is applied on the LiveTwin part. For example: chl1 Golden Lord Chl2 live Twin Home. The Live twins monster is summoned first, so its succesfully summoned and the condition to activate its effect "to be summoned and to not control a monster" is met, so evem after the chainlinks resolve and you control now 2 Monster, you can still activate the eff of the livetwin because the conditon already applied.
When do Virtual World restrictions to special summon only lvl/rank 3+ monsters start applying? For example: CL1 Virtual World Mai-Hime - Lulu CL2 Ash Blossom Can I activate Psy-Framegear Gamma as CL3 to negate Ash?
Ruling question: Am I legally allowed to activate the effect of prank-kids rocksies if I do not have any cards in hand, and still summon a monster? Alternatively, am I allowed to summon a monster with rocksies even if I do not banish and draw
Going off of the Super Poly ruling: Theoretically, if there was a fusion monster that could use any monster as its fusion material, would you then be able to use an opponent's face down monsters as material as the fact they are monsters at least would be public knowledge?
The answer is NO, except there is exist a fusion monster that specified 2 set monster but however you can use your face-down monster as Superpoly target; so you can only use face-up monster your opponent control as material Say UCT the opponent's monster and both of you and opponent know those booked monster, u cannot activate superpoly cause u can only use face-up monster opponent control as target
you said that you cannot use an opponents face down monster as fusion material because you cannot know its stats. since something like megafleet cannot use an opponents face down monster in the extra monster zone, wouldnt it just be simpler to just say they cannot be used?
Question. As a follow up to your explanation on the fusion ruling regarding using your opponents facedown monsters, do cards that require monsters in certain zones work the same way. Or more specifically, does the same apply to Chimeratech Megafleet Dragon even though it requires a monster in the extra monster zone?
The game recognises the difference between a main monster zone, and extra monster zone. In this case for Chimerafeet it doesn't matter what monster it is, as long as it in the extra monster zone.
Hey Coder question if appliancer laundry dragon battles a monster with higher attack does the co-linked laundry dragon’s effect to banish after damage calculation still occur?
If I have Geomathmech final sigma in the extra monster zone, can I protect it from destruction using light dragon @ignister’s protection effect? I’m not sure if that technically affects final sigma or not
No, because Final Sigma is in the EMZ, the Only Effects that apply to or Affect it are its Own. I thought that too, but a Friend whose a Local Judge Clarified it for me
Here's one : I control 3 face-up Neo Spacian Aqua Dolphin, it's the battle phase of my opponent. I activate and resolve Magical Hats by setting Legacy of a HERO and Neo Space (the field spell). I can legally flip up Super Poly to fusion my 5 monsters into Divine Neos, right ? Now, let's say I also have All-Out-Attacks face-up, which flips up my two spell cards (still considered monsters), can I still do it ? And if both yes or both no : why do EDOpro allow the former but not the latter ?
This is really big brained , I'm like 90% percent sure it's legal I just feel like I'm missing something crucial. Maybe it's some sort of tcg vs ocg ruling I'd have to look into. Especially with All Out attacks interacting.

Here's a very interesting Lunalight ruling scenario that I previously thought was bugged in Duel Links (I think Duel Links and EDO Pro agree now on this, dunno how it happened). Why do the following scenarios turn out in these ways? My guess is that Cat Dancer has a lingering effect. Lunalight Cat Dancer has tributed a Lunalight monster so that it can attack every monster on the opponent's field, and the opponent's field contains Samurai Destroyer with *0 ATK*, plus any 1 other monster next to it (pretend this other monster has no relevant effect). Cat Dancer says it will not destroy a monster by battle the first time it attacks into it, as well. 1. Cat Dancer attacks into the 0 ATK Samurai Destroyer first and beats over it twice, and DOES destroy it by battle, AND it can still proceed to attack into the other monster despite being negated by Samurai Destroyer until the end of the Battle Phase. [according to EDO Pro programming] 2. Cat Dancer attacks into the OTHER monster first and beats over it twice to destroy it by battle, THEN attacks into Samurai Destroyer, but its attack still does not stop, and it still manages to attack twice more and then destroy Samurai Destroyer by battle. [according to EDO Pro programming]

Hi Coder, can you explain how mandatory effects exactly works? Example, how can something like Traptrix Myrmeleo's second effect activate even if the opponent controls no Spell/Trap cards, i get that is mandatory and it must be activated, but what does the monster target for cost, or, does Madolche Salon trigger even if you don't have any target left in the Deck for it's effect? Thanks for your work and have a good day
If a card has mandatory effect and no target exists, it triggers, then it resolves without effect (you don't target an opp's S/T when it resolves in case of Myrmeleo if opp control no S/T)
Ruling questions: Player 1 has aiwass the magistus spell saint, player 2 has drident. Player 2 activates the eff of drident on aiwass, Player 1 chains aiwass eff targeting the drident. Will the aiwass be destroyed after the chain resolves? Since it becomes a equip should it be treated as a different card and thus drident wont pop it? Player 1 has aiwass the magistus spell saint, player 2 has virtual world lulu on the field. Player 2 activates a virtual world eff in hand targeting the lulu, player 1 activates aiwass eff targeting the lulu as well. Will the virual world monster in hand resolve?
Player A activates Dogmatika Maximus to send cards from the extra deck to the graveyard. Player B sends a Herald of Mirage Light. Can Mirage light activate? Does Possession count in the Extra Deck?
To clarify, the term prossession while similar to "control" specifically describes wno has a card at a given time (for example switch the prosession via mind control) but also applies to locations other than the field, so yes.
Apologies if this sounds a bit stupid but i can't resist to ask: what if you summon a monster that cannot be destroyed by card effects and your opponent chains a solemn judgement, what would happen?
If the summon is negated then the monster never hit the field, no matter if it can't be destroyed. On other hand, if the monster activates on destruction it can still activate even if not successfuly summoned.
Can I use Armory Call to equip Mathmech Billionblade Nayuta to a Geomathmech Final Sigma in the EMZ? Does Armory Call equipping the card count as affecting Final Sigma or is it only concerned with the card being equipped?
When using Shaddoll Schism’s effect to fusion summon, does the send to grave effect happen in a separate chain? Also, if you return a fusion monster from grave to extra deck using El Shaddoll Apkallone effect, are you still required to discard?
The fusion summon and send are part of the same effect so it's the same chain, and Apkallone still requires you to send from hand to gy as long as part A (the add) resolves
So my friend actually asked me this one and I have no idea what to tell him. It regards Volester's effect: 'If this card is Special Summoned to a zone a Link Monster points to: Destroy all Link Monsters that point to this card, then destroy all other monsters that those Link Monsters pointed to, and follow the Link Arrows of all those destroyed monsters, destroying everything they point to, and repeating the process, until there are no more to destroy. (This card cannot be destroyed by this effect.) You can only use this effect of "Voltester" once per turn.' The question's very straightforward, does "destroying everything they point to" include destroying backrow? I'd guess so because "destroying everything" seems like it should destroy... well, everything!

Hi Coder, just a simple one. Can you tribute a face down monster for the effect of the Infinitrack monsters' special summon from hand (i.e. Brutal Dozer)? Obviously assuming that it is an Earth Machine. I came across this attempting to play vs UCT.
More of a general question, when you chain a quick effect to the draw phase, does the draw happen before or after the quick effect? Gizmek Orochi for example?
U should draw first, u can only activate Gizmek after u do mandatory mechanic thing in game such as draw phase Say if u have a way to deal damage so that opponent will lose but you would do draw phase if you have no card in your deck; you lose after u cannot draw card in draw phase

If player A activates Invocation while controlling Meltdown, and player B attempts to negate it with Dragoon, will he get the atk boost? I know Dragoon has to negate and destroy in order to get the boost, but I'm confused because teorically you should still be able to negate, but, because Meltdown is on the field, the invocation would resolve even if negated.. So, is it considered negated for dragoon to get the atk?
Question: if I have a face up zombie world and doomking balerdroch on my side of the field and my opponent activates cymbal skeleton from their GY, can I negate the effect using balderoche? Also, what if it is an effect veiler being sent to the GY instead? Thank you.
In case Coder doesn't see this, Balerdroch should check that the monster was a Zombie on activation (not on resolution), because it says "when a Zombie monster, except "Doomking Balerdroch", activates its effect". Cymbal Skeleton was a Zombie on activation, and it activates and resolves in the GY, while Effect Veiler was not a Zombie on activation, and it activates and resolves in the hand. So I would think that it can negate Cymbal Skeleton but not Effect Veiler.
Let's say I have a Galaxy Eyes Cypher Dragon on the field equipped with Forbidden Lance. Can I still use Rank Up Magic Cypher Ascension since GECD is the cost of using it?
You can use RUMCA but u cannot summon a monster with overlaying it via spell cause GECD is unaffected by spell, the same reason why you cannot Rank Up Ultimate Falcon with spell because it is unaffected by any card effects It is a tech in Duel Links when opponent attempt to use Invocation, Lance Aleister to fizzle it and same tech to avoid trap in DL
not sure this counts as a ruling, but here goes nothing. I reveal 1 danger Bigfoot, and he gets special summoned. next I do the same with thunder bird, and special summon. I overlay them to make zombie stein. can I continue to reveal more dangers from my hand , and make further xyz monsters ?

Can you please give a 30 second "crash course" on when cards check things?

Yeah i was wondering about how the magibullet link works. I once popped a continuous trap later in the chain and didn't know whether I should have summoned 2 or 3.
I'm not 100% sure but I think if the card says activate this effect, it checks on activation. If it says apply this effect, it checks on resolution.
I think this may be better in his new series explaining in under a minute
@@thevideogamer1101 the "30 second crash course" is meant as a turn of phrase, basically just a quick segment explaining it
It isn't hard
Card that check on activation usually has requirement to be activated
The best way to explain this is most of Sky Striker spells

The edits helped with the ruling questions so great job editor man!
I enjoyed the visuals in this video! Also, that Evil Twin ruling was very surprising to me! I didn't know effects like that waited until after the entire chain has resolved.
An interesting thing to point out with the Evil Twin thing that you can take advantage of the same is true when resolving the Live Twins. Thus, if your opponent chains to a Live Twin summoning from deck, you can chain Droplet, send the Twin you activated and the other twin will be the only monster you control. It's a neat way to still make plays when facing negates.
the ghost belle on gamma actually blew my mind. what a crazy interaction
You should put the rulings in the description, because it makes the rulings easier to find if person x doesn’t know your channel.
Can I chain Monster Gate in response to another Spell like for example Mask Change? I saw someone use this big brain strat live. Surprisingly (and conveniently) there was no judge to say no to this play.
Monster Gate is a Normal Spell. It cannot be chained to anything.

I don’t understand why so I ask you.
I personally don't see a reason why Player B wouldn't be able to activate Puppy's effect here.
Somehow related to the Evil twins ruling. Does phantom kinghts of rusty bardiche destroy effect triggers if you for example, activate rank-up magic shoul shave force targeting raidraptor force strix, and when summoned from the gy, i summon it on a zone bardiche points to, but i overlay cyber dragon infinity in a different MMZ that bardiche doesnt points to.
EDOPro and other simulators allow me to activate bardiche there. Is it correct? And if it is, whats the reason? Whats the difference between this and the evil twins ruling?
Thanks Coder, love your content, keep it up
I know the answer, I just want more people to know the interaction of one reborn tengu in hand, field and gy. Link into Saryuja, reborn has to been cl1 since it's mandatory even with no targets.
Here's a simple but cool question. CL1 Mask Change, opponent uses Karma Cut CL2 onto the HERO monster targeted by Mask Change, then you use Book of Moon CL3 onto your own HERO monster. How does it resolve? (I believe the monster is sent to the GY while face-down and still properly Special Summons the appropriate Masked HERO).
Yep, u got to summon your Masked Hero
You done a good job in explaining face-down fusion mechanics. However I think it will be a good topic to point out for the next episode the fact that you are not allowed to fusion summon specifically Chimeratech Fortress Dragon using your set CD core.(via contact fusion,considering your face-down core and a machine-type monster your opponent controls are the only cyber dragon monsters on field)
I'm pretty sure you can contact fuse using face-down monsters
@@dakinwatson3782 yep, I am aware. I specifically asked about the chimeratech fortress dragon using a face-down core, since core's unclassified effect makes him a "cyber dragon" but since those kinds of effects work in a unique way, not of the people is unsure about this peculiar case.
@@caesar4557 but megafleet requires 1 cyber dragon monster, not "Cyber Dragon"? So this isn't any different than a normal contact fusion
@@dakinwatson3782 chimeratech fortress is not chimeratech megafleet. They are 2 separate fusions.
@@caesar4557 whoa, I've been reading megafleet this whole time lol my bad 🙏🏻
I have a question about a situation that comes up in my infernoble deck. If I have DDR equipped to for example my Immortal Phoenix gearfried and the DDR leaves the field, but the gearfried is indestructible because it's equipped by Infernoble Knight Ogier, does the Gearfried stay on field? And does is make a difference if the monster is indestructible by its own effect or like in this example by another card? And does it make a difference how DDR leaves the field, for example by an opponents MST or by Gearfrieds own effect to negate?
Thanks for clearing these rulings. I really wondered about the first one. 😎👍
Here's another interesting ruling I thought of. If a monster would return to the bottom of the Main Deck if it leaves the field, and it becomes the target of Karma Cut, if you chain Lancea, will the monster not leave the field, or will it return to the bottom of the Deck anyway?
The case of Dragoon and FF whale is the same with Scrap Dragon and Beelze of the Diabolic Dragons.
Ruling question:
Are you allowed to use Fog Blade on an unaffected monster (such as Blackwing Full Armor Master) and if so, is the opponent allowed to attack the equipped monster?
No fog blade cannot be used against BFAM
Yes you can, opponent won't be able to attack it
You are allowed to target it, but it will be just unaffected by Fog Blade's effect.

Ruling question.
In a hypothetical, can Subterror Guru’s book of moon effect become a quick effect when the subterror trap final battle is activated
For hypothetical example let suppose that the guru player has guru face up, a subterror face down, and final battle set. On the opponents turn is it legal for the opponent to normal summon a monster, then on the summon, the guru player activated final battle as CL1 to flip the face down subterror face up and Cl2 activate guru’s effect to flip itself and the opponents normal summon face down
Yes, it's legal. It's actually a very common play in subterror.
No you cannot do that example, Final battle has to completely resolve in order for Guru to be face up for it to activate its quick effect, so final battle to flip guru face up and gurus quick effect cannot ever be CL1 and CL2, It will be CL1 Final battle, Resolves flips guru Face up and Final battle will be reset then you can Activate guru on a new chain as CL1 (his flip effect or Book effect)
@@luckyilagged2424 In his example guru is already face up. If he's already face up, it can be chained to final battle activation.
@@septo3466 you're correct, Its 3am and I miss read that, I didnt see it say guru was face up, Then yes its correct timing and activation
You can also target guru himself with any final battle effect when he's face up to resolve his quick effect

If you special summon a "Burning Abyss" monster while you control a non BA monster via a card that negates the effects of the summoned monster like "Living Fossil" or "Overdone Burial" does the BA monster get destroyed?
Interestingly enough EdoPro destroys the monster when summoned with "Overdone Burial" but does not when summoned with "Living Fossil" (even though I think that used to be different).
A nice example about face down fusion material is mask change
Question 7:00
Can you use that face down monster for a fusion summon even if it's not yours but on your side of the field, like a snatch steal a monster that is face down, then use it for a fusion summon?
Yeah, you can.
Ruling Question
If machina sniper (Monsters cannot attack "Machina" monsters, except "Machina Sniper". ) is on the field along with Machina Defense Perimeter( While you control a Level 7 or higher Machine monster, your opponent's monsters cannot target Level 6 or lower Machine monsters you control for attacks, also your opponent cannot target them with card effects.) which card takes priority.
Ruling question:
I understand that I cannot activate Interrupted Kaiju Slumber while Vanity's Fiend is on my opponent's field because the B in A then B is impossible to achieve at present. Why then, can I activate the effect of Performage Trick Clown during a turn in which my opponent has activated Dark Ruler No More?
Scenario: I have a Conquistador that is currently treated as a monster in my center monster zone, which I previously summoned from my far right S/T zone. My opponent now activates an infinite impermanence in their far left S/T zone and successfully negates an effect monster I control.
Question: does the Conquistador remain as a monster on the field?
Conquistador is returned face up to the spell and trap zone and will remained there until it is removed. Conquistor is still considered a trap.

Hey Distant, got an old ruling for ya that people are ruling different. Knightmare links when summoned while being co-linked use effects to target a card, opponent chains effect to remove the target or removing the co-link. Does the draw still happen??
Similar to the fusion summoning mechanic and public knowledge: would I be able to summon Flower Cardian Peony with Butterfly by tributing a face down Flower Cardian monster?
Yes, no argue
My question is about unchained, its really kind of 2 questions. 1: when setting a card from your gy with sarama, why can you (if you can) set Disaster face down on the field without a tribute? 2: when performing this action, does this count as a special summon or no? Can i resolve the full effect under vanity's ruler
First question: you can because it's a unchained card
Second question: 90% sure disaster isn't a legal target in that situation, but might be wrong on this one
Yes you can use Sarama to set disaster you dont need to tribute, Yes it is considered a SS, No you cannot activate Sarama with Ruler on Field IF your trying to SS "set" a monster FD, You can set a S/T and resolve her effect normally but whatever you destroy wont be able to trigger and SS from deck
1. You van set disaster face-down because it is special summon set not a normal set and you only tribute summon monster from hand to field
2. Yes, so under Vanity Ruler u can only target Unchained S/T in GY
can my opponent activate break sword pop ef while I control charles equipped with metalsilver armor and oliver? if he can, does he have to target only spells or traps?
Metalsilver Armor will force targeting effects must target the equipped monster or spells/trap
@@ocean6332 metalsilver work in efs that target 1 monster, break ef target 1 card on each side, not sure if that’s considered as targetting 2 cards, bc if it does, the ef could target monsters
Opponent can activate Break Sword pop only if he has his S/T to pop; say in the field you only control Charles equipped with those so he can choose one of their card to pop and the spell and trap you control cause they cannot target Charles because of Olivier
Can you explain how Zombie World works under Necrovalley? I often have people think it means only the grave monsters don't change types whereas it should prevent all monsters from becoming zombies.
No it should not, necrovalley specifically says "Negate any card *effect* ..." it doesn't say negate the entire card, vut only the card effect that would fall under nacrovalleys requirements.
And zombie world has two different effects, the first changes atributes, the second is that you cannot tribute monsters except zombie monsters. They are two seperate continous effects.
Hey Coder, great video! I had a question, if Ki-sikil and Lil-la's trigger eff. said "if this card is special summoned WHILE you control..." instead of "if this card is special summoned AND you control..." would the activation requirement be fulfilled?
Also, I was interpreting Shaddoll Schism effect to send to activate on a new chain (needing the Shaddoll fusion to still be on field to check atribute). Is this right? I interpreted it like this because each eff is in a different sentence.
Best,
Nicolás
1. Isn't that same meaning from what I am seeing...?
2. Shaddoll Schism is wording with 'then' connector so it is actually should be in a sentence so what it does is fusion summon then check what attribute do you fusion and you can send say Eldlich the Golden Lord (LIGHT) if you summon Construct (LIGHT) to field and it is in same chain as that card is activated, NOT in different chain but the action is not done in same time
If I reborn a pankratops with ice dragon prison, I can for sure activate the effect of pankratops, but it will resolve?
The game still treats the pankratops in the grave as the same reborned and negated by ice dragon prison?
The effect was activated on the field, so it will be negated. For example you can activate a negated Shaddoll when used as a fusion material but if you use Raye under skill drain, no monster will be summoned from the extra deck.
@@sanik6411the last part you said it's not true:raye works under skill drain as well as pankratops for example. And about the first part its cuz the text from "ice prison dragon" says:(but its effects are negated)
Coder, I have a question for a ruling that came up recently. I used the effect of UCT to flip my opponents monsters, then my opponent used Triple Tactics Talent to take my UCT. Is my opponent allowed to use the effect of UCT again?
Once per turn, during either player's Main Phase: You can etc
The effect says you, unless you are playing against yourself I'm pretty sure the opponent is another person, he can
@@erichp9896 no you are wrong, If he steals UTC he cannot use the effect as its already been used that turn, Regardless is he is a different player or not
Once per turn means that you can only apply the effect once during that turn with that monater; so if someone has trigger it and opp take control it, opp cannot activate it cause it has been used
i have a bunch of questions.
1) does skypalace gangaridai attack after activating its effect then it gets negated with impermanance?
2) is changing the control of a card considered another special summon? (i mean can you mind control a monster after for example being under summon limit or shadoll winda?)
3) does access code's boost stay after being negated?
4) when does a card need to tell which effect to use (like balderoch is at resolution and triple tactics talent is at activation) what makes the difference in wording?
5) how can we know the cost of the card in the text wording?
thank you fro your help
1. You can attack wuth it if the monster is negated
2. NO obviously
3. NO, it is same if dante mills and afterwards it gets negated
4. Clearly Balerdroch let you choose its effect when you resolving while TTT makes you choose when you activate it
5. Cost is alwayd paid at activation of a card then you do the effect, if you cannot pay the cost you cannot activate the card at all and you cannot refund the cost if the card failed to resolve properly (such as negated or have its activation negated), and as far as in game, destroy is NOT cost
using rusty to search fog blade to negate your own rusty to get a link 4+ now thats some omega brain thinking
But you cant tho...
You can't
i know that you can't but i would never even think about trying to negate my own card to get rid of negative effects.
You cannot negate Rusty then use it as Link material because the card condition doesn't let you to use it as material Link in any way possible
Here's a question I have. Say I manage to summon Knightmare Gryphon in my center monster zone through a Live Twin combo, which allows you to have Gryphon on board with no monsters in the extra monster zones. Does this lock down the opponent from all monster effects on the field, or some other interaction?
Gryphon stops non-linked Special Summoned monsters from activating their effects. Effects in hand/grave/banished, and effects of Normal Summoned monsters can still be activated. If they can get their monsters linked, they can use the effects of Special Summoned monsters then.
The Evil Twin Ruling is wrong.
As you stated on the eff of Bardish, its a Condition to have the other Monster on the Field . So as long the Condition to activate is met during the Summon, you can activate the eff. Also the correct text is "If this card is Special Summoned AND YOU control a "Ki-sikil" monster" and not "while you control a kisikil monster. It checks imerdently on the Summon.
The same Ruling is applied on the LiveTwin part. For example: chl1 Golden Lord Chl2 live Twin Home. The Live twins monster is summoned first, so its succesfully summoned and the condition to activate its effect "to be summoned and to not control a monster" is met, so evem after the chainlinks resolve and you control now 2 Monster, you can still activate the eff of the livetwin because the conditon already applied.
When do Virtual World restrictions to special summon only lvl/rank 3+ monsters start applying? For example:
CL1 Virtual World Mai-Hime - Lulu
CL2 Ash Blossom
Can I activate Psy-Framegear Gamma as CL3 to negate Ash?
Ruling question:
Am I legally allowed to activate the effect of prank-kids rocksies if I do not have any cards in hand, and still summon a monster? Alternatively, am I allowed to summon a monster with rocksies even if I do not banish and draw
Going off of the Super Poly ruling: Theoretically, if there was a fusion monster that could use any monster as its fusion material, would you then be able to use an opponent's face down monsters as material as the fact they are monsters at least would be public knowledge?
If they have a facedown monster in the extra monster zone, you can fuse it for chimeratech megafleet dragon
The answer is NO, except there is exist a fusion monster that specified 2 set monster but however you can use your face-down monster as Superpoly target; so you can only use face-up monster your opponent control as material
Say UCT the opponent's monster and both of you and opponent know those booked monster, u cannot activate superpoly cause u can only use face-up monster opponent control as target
you said that you cannot use an opponents face down monster as fusion material because you cannot know its stats. since something like megafleet cannot use an opponents face down monster in the extra monster zone, wouldnt it just be simpler to just say they cannot be used?
If you haven't talked about it, mention the gamma under tcaboo ruling.
I’ve mentioned it in my Gozen, Rivalry & Tcboo video.
@@DistantCoder Ah I see
I love that name of There can only be One.
Question.
As a follow up to your explanation on the fusion ruling regarding using your opponents facedown monsters, do cards that require monsters in certain zones work the same way. Or more specifically, does the same apply to Chimeratech Megafleet Dragon even though it requires a monster in the extra monster zone?
The game recognises the difference between a main monster zone, and extra monster zone. In this case for Chimerafeet it doesn't matter what monster it is, as long as it in the extra monster zone.
Hey Coder question if appliancer laundry dragon battles a monster with higher attack does the co-linked laundry dragon’s effect to banish after damage calculation still occur?
If I have Geomathmech final sigma in the extra monster zone, can I protect it from destruction using light dragon @ignister’s protection effect? I’m not sure if that technically affects final sigma or not

Here's one :
I control 3 face-up Neo Spacian Aqua Dolphin, it's the battle phase of my opponent. I activate and resolve Magical Hats by setting Legacy of a HERO and Neo Space (the field spell). I can legally flip up Super Poly to fusion my 5 monsters into Divine Neos, right ?
Now, let's say I also have All-Out-Attacks face-up, which flips up my two spell cards (still considered monsters), can I still do it ?
And if both yes or both no : why do EDOpro allow the former but not the latter ?
This is really big brained , I'm like 90% percent sure it's legal I just feel like I'm missing something crucial. Maybe it's some sort of tcg vs ocg ruling I'd have to look into. Especially with All Out attacks interacting.
I suggest you ask the ruling section in Edopro on discord and NOT here to make sure it is bug or not
Ruling problem:
My opponent has abc dragon buster on their field and I have world legacy secret (I think that's the card) and a mell-knight in the same column as the abc.
My opponent uses its effect to banish then he tributes it for his other effect. What happens with its effects?
Both buster effects are negated, because the activation locations is the negated column.
Both effects are negated.
Can you explain the resolution of "Prologue of the Destruction Swordsman" and "Destruction Sword Memories"? For example, can you use prologue to send memories and a buster blader monster to grave and then chain memories to prologue? Thank you!
It is a common move in Buster Blader deck
Sup coder! Riddle me this: Altergeist Protocol on Field w/ a Necrovalley active, what happens if you activate Altergeist Manifestation (suposing you can activate it)?
Here's a very interesting Lunalight ruling scenario that I previously thought was bugged in Duel Links (I think Duel Links and EDO Pro agree now on this, dunno how it happened). Why do the following scenarios turn out in these ways? My guess is that Cat Dancer has a lingering effect.
Lunalight Cat Dancer has tributed a Lunalight monster so that it can attack every monster on the opponent's field, and the opponent's field contains Samurai Destroyer with *0 ATK*, plus any 1 other monster next to it (pretend this other monster has no relevant effect). Cat Dancer says it will not destroy a monster by battle the first time it attacks into it, as well.
1. Cat Dancer attacks into the 0 ATK Samurai Destroyer first and beats over it twice, and DOES destroy it by battle, AND it can still proceed to attack into the other monster despite being negated by Samurai Destroyer until the end of the Battle Phase. [according to EDO Pro programming]
2. Cat Dancer attacks into the OTHER monster first and beats over it twice to destroy it by battle, THEN attacks into Samurai Destroyer, but its attack still does not stop, and it still manages to attack twice more and then destroy Samurai Destroyer by battle. [according to EDO Pro programming]
because cat dancers effect to attack 2 times every monster is already resolved. it does not matter if its negated after that
@@CSCH69 Yeah, the effect lasts for that turn and is applied to Cat Dancer. But the fun would be in answering the question on the video.

hi coder, if i activate raigeki and my opponent chain vision hero increase effect to summon itself from S/T zone, will it activate its effect to summon a vision hero from deck since it was destroyed on the resolution of raigeki?
What happens if I activate Gamma and chain Crossout Designator to banish my own Driver (makes no sense, but whatever)? Is the latter an illegal activation or does the Gamma not resolve?
Hi Coder, can you explain how mandatory effects exactly works? Example, how can something like Traptrix Myrmeleo's second effect activate even if the opponent controls no Spell/Trap cards, i get that is mandatory and it must be activated, but what does the monster target for cost, or, does Madolche Salon trigger even if you don't have any target left in the Deck for it's effect? Thanks for your work and have a good day
If a card has mandatory effect and no target exists, it triggers, then it resolves without effect (you don't target an opp's S/T when it resolves in case of Myrmeleo if opp control no S/T)
So even gamma can not be summoned under zefra path ? :O
If you have both gamma amd driver in hand yes? If you dont have driver in hand then no

Apologies if this sounds a bit stupid but i can't resist to ask: what if you summon a monster that cannot be destroyed by card effects and your opponent chains a solemn judgement, what would happen?
If the summon is negated then the monster never hit the field, no matter if it can't be destroyed.
On other hand, if the monster activates on destruction it can still activate even if not successfuly summoned.

When using Shaddoll Schism’s effect to fusion summon, does the send to grave effect happen in a separate chain? Also, if you return a fusion monster from grave to extra deck using El Shaddoll Apkallone effect, are you still required to discard?
The fusion summon and send are part of the same effect so it's the same chain, and Apkallone still requires you to send from hand to gy as long as part A (the add) resolves
The send eff is part of the fusion summon so its all one eff
you dont need to discard with apkallone if you add a extra deck Monster back. you only discard if the card is added to hand
So my friend actually asked me this one and I have no idea what to tell him. It regards Volester's effect:
'If this card is Special Summoned to a zone a Link Monster points to: Destroy all Link Monsters that point to this card, then destroy all other monsters that those Link Monsters pointed to, and follow the Link Arrows of all those destroyed monsters, destroying everything they point to, and repeating the process, until there are no more to destroy. (This card cannot be destroyed by this effect.) You can only use this effect of "Voltester" once per turn.'
The question's very straightforward, does "destroying everything they point to" include destroying backrow? I'd guess so because "destroying everything" seems like it should destroy... well, everything!
Link monster only point to monster zones, the spell and trap zones are not something link monster can point to.

Hi Coder, just a simple one. Can you tribute a face down monster for the effect of the Infinitrack monsters' special summon from hand (i.e. Brutal Dozer)? Obviously assuming that it is an Earth Machine. I came across this attempting to play vs UCT.
Yes, you can 'cause it's a cost to tribute the monster. Drytrons can do the same, too (fun fact).
Yes u can tribute anything as long as it is correct cost
More of a general question, when you chain a quick effect to the draw phase, does the draw happen before or after the quick effect? Gizmek Orochi for example?
You cannot chain to "the draw phase", every turn must start with a player drawing a card from deck, only then a player is allowed to activate effs
U should draw first, u can only activate Gizmek after u do mandatory mechanic thing in game such as draw phase
Say if u have a way to deal damage so that opponent will lose but you would do draw phase if you have no card in your deck; you lose after u cannot draw card in draw phase

NO cause u cannot negate so Invocation is resolving as normal and Dragoon gains no attack

Question: if I have a face up zombie world and doomking balerdroch on my side of the field and my opponent activates cymbal skeleton from their GY, can I negate the effect using balderoche? Also, what if it is an effect veiler being sent to the GY instead? Thank you.
In case Coder doesn't see this, Balerdroch should check that the monster was a Zombie on activation (not on resolution), because it says "when a Zombie monster, except "Doomking Balerdroch", activates its effect". Cymbal Skeleton was a Zombie on activation, and it activates and resolves in the GY, while Effect Veiler was not a Zombie on activation, and it activates and resolves in the hand. So I would think that it can negate Cymbal Skeleton but not Effect Veiler.
Let's say I have a Galaxy Eyes Cypher Dragon on the field equipped with Forbidden Lance. Can I still use Rank Up Magic Cypher Ascension since GECD is the cost of using it?
You can use RUMCA but u cannot summon a monster with overlaying it via spell cause GECD is unaffected by spell, the same reason why you cannot Rank Up Ultimate Falcon with spell because it is unaffected by any card effects
It is a tech in Duel Links when opponent attempt to use Invocation, Lance Aleister to fizzle it and same tech to avoid trap in DL
not sure this counts as a ruling, but here goes nothing. I reveal 1 danger Bigfoot, and he gets special summoned. next I do the same with thunder bird, and special summon. I overlay them to make zombie stein. can I continue to reveal more dangers from my hand , and make further xyz monsters ?
Amy particular reason why you think you can't? I think that would help to understand what your problem exactly is.
Why not?
U can lol if u still have it
I have another question concerning the Fusion summoning with face down monsters and opponents monsters.
What about Chimeratech using a face down in the opponents EMZ? Chimeratech does not specify anything about the monster used in the EMZ, so it should work?
A face-down monster is still considered as a monster, it's the same with book of moon vs VW.
@@sanik6411 Yes that is what I think, too. But I wanted to ask that nevertheless.
If I special summon armityle the phantom of fury to give it to my opponent and then banish their cards , can he chain some negation like borreload or anything like that.
I have a question, Pendulum face-up in the Extra Deck count for the effect of Extravangance?
Extravagance says face-down cards in the Extra Deck, so no.
How can i see the difference between different ATK modification. If they were continious applied, lingering, frrezing or not freezing or what i shold also know about the ATk modification.
