I got swindled on that skill drain vs regulus ruling this past weekend (the player said drain was negated for the turn). Would definitely have changed how the game went entirely. Thanks Tombox this will help me next time
@@77EatMyUnderpants77 Regulus can still activate under Skill drain. If Regulus tributed itself, it will still resolve under Skill drain. Know your rulings lol
My buddy had the regulus ruling resolve an interesting way at his regional, apparently the head judge ruled Regulus vs. Mystic Mine would permanently negate the Mine on board and it would essentially just stay as a negated card permanently. So nice to know this is how it should be done.
Happened to me at a local as well. I argued with him so hard, but to no avail. At the end of the day, it didn't matter. Still won a mat, even with the 1 loss.
i was ddcrowed yesterday using a therion effect and thought my therion would stay in hand cause target was no longer in grave. thats crazy that i can still special the omni negate or even lily
What if you book of moon chimera in response to it's effects activation? Will flipping it face down make it forget what materials were used for it's summon???
I don't know... Ask the head judge, if I was... I'd look at the latest event on how they did it. If I don't have a reference.... I'd go chimera can't pop. Number of Materials forgotten.
Chimera can pop. It knows the materials number and locations on activation. He'll resolve with effect. There's an email ruling on this and Hunter Landis wrote an article in the Judges Lounge on it recently.
@@MSTTV Chimera will still resolve even after flipped face-down on summon and there is an email ruling directly from KDE Japan that says it can. As always though, "ask your head judge" for TCG. A lot of people don't like to believe email rulings but it is by asking questions that the official konami database FAQ gets updated.
glad i bought the blue ones when i got the chance, really fancy lookin sleeves ;)) some black reflective ones would be sexy. these ruling vids are my fav keep it uppp
8:44 So basically each continuous card has a non written effect that says: "When this card is activated: do nothing" and that is the "effect" that cards that negate only the effect would negate?
So I have a question about the D.D crow vs Regulus. Regulus's cost is to target a machine monster before he could special summon himself and it didn't matter that D.D crow got rid of the target from where it was. So how is it different when it comes to Virtual World LuLu, for example, that targets another VW monster for cost and if someone gets rid of the target then Lulu's effect would not resolve normally because the target is gone? Why is there a difference?
The target has a semi colon so its i guess "cost" lol. Regulus specials first then equips. Vs Lulu target is also "cost" since it has a semi colon but it needs to check that the cards are different. If it loses the ability to check you cant revolve the effect to completion. Basically because regulus targets as cost by the time you d.d crow it it already met its summon requirment then it touches the field and attempts to resolve fully but the original target has been banished so no equip
Nice video i have another question if you equip regulus with cyber dragon mark can you do a contact fusion with cyber dragon mark when he is equiped with regulus?
Hey MST I have a ruling question. If I activate illegal knight’s effect giving control of it to my opponent then attempting to return their cyberdark end dragon to the hand, which is unaffected by “opponents” activated effects, what will happen?
Random judge online here, the effect to target up to two cards on your opponent’s side of the field, switch control of it and then returning those cards to the hand is still treated as your activated effect, as it is a “ if, then…” conjunction. What will happen is you will give control of your illegal knight to him, and cyber dark end dragon will stay on the field.
A similar card that will actually work will be Armityle the Chaos Phantasm - Phantom of Fury, as the effect to banish all cards the new controller is a mandatory trigger effect that’s consider to be the owner’s card effect. You can also just flip a skill drain for an easy out to it. 😂
@@bai5172 Hey thanks a lot for the help. I genuinely thought my question would get buried in the comment section! About the skill drain although it applies a continuous effect wouldn’t cyberdark end be unaffected if I activate it after cyberdark’s on the field?
No problem. Cyber dark dragon is only unaffected by activated effects, like tombox said in the video, skill drain doesn’t actually have an “activated effect”, you do activate the card “skill drain”, but the continuous effect is then apply , so cyber dark dragon will be negated by skill drain.
This Guardian Chimera vs TTT ruling makes no sense to me. How is a player allowed to activate the effects of a card their opponent controls? That sounds like the kind of absurd ruling a judge makes up for an event and everyone makes fun of afterwards. How is that the official ruling?
What the heck?? The TTT ruling should be completely the other way around. A summon trigger is the same as a on field trigger, only that the condition for the trigger effect activating is the summon of the card. Makes no sense for me why it should be rules otherwise. Probably a salty despia player that changed this ruling.
@@YohananYGO No, it doesn't make any sense to activate the effect of an "invisible" card that isn't even in your POSSESSION, while the opponent has a LEGALLY FUSION SUMMONED, with KNOWN MATERIALS (no face-down shenanigans), on the SUMMON RESPONSE WINDOW. (possess is like extended "control" to every place you can have a card, while own means the physical owner of said card, for example if you Kaiju me, you are the "owner" of the card, but it is under my "control" and in my "possession" in general, so I will be the one to use its effects)
So when chimera switches control during resolution the new controller can't activate the effect but the original controller gets to activate it even doh he doesn't have control of the chimera at the moment?
@@dannysreview2814 It can activate because it hasn't left its activation location which is the field. And the ruling for the player who summoned it getting the effect is how it's been ruled since 2014 and more recently with IP Masquerena and Knightmare Unicorn
The Therion king vs D.D crow ruling confuses me. Because with virtual world, if the target is removed from the field, you don't get to resolve the VW monster effect in the hand. So how come it is different for Therion King?
Regulus summons, and if you do, equip. A and if you do, do B. If Lulu can't send the correct card type because the card type cannot be identified, therefore cant send, can't send = can't summon.
Lulu needs to be able to check the card type of the card targeted. It's resolving effect is tied to what it targeted. Regulus on the other hand doesn't really care about what he targeted when it comes to summoning himself.
So for clarification regarding summoning triggers and control changing, if I activate Talents to take and my opponent has Trouble Sunny on field and both link twins in the grave, they chain Trouble Sunny to tribute and summon both link monsters, the opponent gets to resolve both their pop and their draw?
Im assuming you were taking the trouble sunny. But no your opponent does not get to pop or draw because order of chain goes after touble sunny chained to special summon your TTT still needs to resovle before the twins can trigger on a new chain. So they dont get either because in their texts it states if they are summone AND control. By the time the effect would trigger they no longer control 2 evil twins.
there is one thing i dont understand about ttt/guardian chimera: cards don't trigger, if they are not anymore in the right spot, where the trigger conditions are met. So if chain link 1 zeuss and chain link 2 branded in red summoning the guardian chimera, it is no longer on the field and hence cannot activate its effect in a new chain. But what if the opponent takes control over the chimera with ttt, like in your example? Did it not technically leave its trigger spot by leaving the opponents side? I am a bit confused about this.
Taking control doesn't change the location of Chimera. The word "location" in yugioh refer to hand, field, gy, banish, deck, and extra deck. Changing control doesn't change the fact that Chimera is still on the field (same location)
If King Regulus is equipped with King Regulus, can it send the equip version as cost for the negate since it can send monster CARDS not just monsters from the current translation? Thank you!
Doesn't Branded Lost say "The activation of your cards and *EFFECTS* that include an effect that Fusion Summons a Fusion Monster cannot be negated. So while Regulus doesn't negate the activation of Branded Fusion, it negates its effect of actually fusion summoning a monster. So because of Branded Lost Regulus couldn't negate it.
branded lost doesnt care about if its an effect or a card summoning it, it just stops that activation from being negated. negating effects and activations is different
If I have chain link 1 Eglen with an unexplored winds on field and my opponent chain links two branded in red, chain resolved they add and fusion into guardian chimera and I add an empen. Immediately after eglen resolves I normal so I Tribute sending my eglen and their chimera for empen does their chimera still activate since it’s not on the field anymore before it could trigger?
I had this come up the other day it made me think of your skill drain ruling so if I control king and no other relevant monsters let’s just say dark magician and my opponent activates mystic mine I tribute my king does it negate mystic mind for the tern? does it negate it at all or while is it on field and permanently negated what happens?
Regulus will negate the activated effect of mine as cl1 (in this case, nothing). After that continuous effects apply as normal. Mine will still prevent the player who controls more monsters from activating monster effects or attacking.
It will do nothing vs Mystic mine... because mystic mine doesn't have an activated effect... the continuous effect will apply anyway. There is no 1 turn stun from Regulus
If Regulus equiped with a monster by is own effect gets impermed or veiler , does it lose its equipment ? I had the case against An ABC therion player.
Thanks for some of the rulings, as usual. Didn't think I would be a fan of Therions, but after playing with them I am full on chucking Despia. These guys are legit fun!
Relevant text of Branded Lost: The **activation** of your cards and effects that include an effect that fusion summons a Fusion monster cannot be negated…” Relevant text of Therion King: negate that **effect**. King negated effects and not activation, similar to ash blossom being able to negate the effect of branded fusion while branded lost is applying, as opposed to ghost Belle, whose text states “negate the activation”, cannot negate the activation of Branded in Red while Branded lost is applying.
@@HoloDuelist Lubellion isn't a good example as Regulus cannot negate Lubellion due to the opponent not being able to chain anything to the effect since Lubellion triggers on its own fusion summon.
i feel they need to have a few ruling scenarios for guardian chimera. it seems to me it has very weird interactions where players dont know how to effectively respond to. ik distant coder made a video about chimera and its still in the air even when he did the research on 3 different rulings to try to come up with a solution
So with chimera being a summon trigger say my opponent goes CL1 Mirrorjade I chain branded in red to summon chimera then mirrorjade resolves to banish the chimera. Does the chimera effect still resolve because it was successfully summoned?
@@soulbreaker625 this scenario is not about resolution, it is about activation. If Guardian Chimera is not in its trigger location when it’s effect would attempt to activate, it cannot activate. This is from rule update in April 2020, also the reason why when a Cyber Angel Benten is tributed by a Drytron monster and is banished by D.D. Crow on chain link 2, it will not activate on the subsequent chain because it has left the area it’s trigger effect would have activated in.
@@xBrayJay Is that rule used for GC now? Because there's monsters who's eff still go through even when no longer on field like sage with blue eyes. It hit the field its eff wasnt negated so it should still go through. I wouldnt rule against it. But as we know its ultimately up to the judge or not.
@@soulbreaker625 the sequence in question is specifically bc chimera is summoned chain link 2 and then removed chain link 1 before it’s effect would be able to activate. Monsters with a trigger effect must be able to activate that trigger effect from the spot where there trigger location is met. If you are referring to Sage with eyes of Blue effect that activates on normal summon, unless the normal summon is negated, it’s trigger effect will be able to activate. These are completely different scenarios.
Regulus vs tenki and ash vs tenki has the same result... The card stays face up.. The search effect does get negated but the rest of the continuous effect stays.
I cannot wait for Therions to come to Master duel. Machine decks are still strong in the current meta. Regulus will only make the shenanigans more fun.
Gotta love yugioh, Konami spends time making paragraphs on cards but none of the text going to understanding what you can do. I get it, most will say “get competent” to get good but the packs still say +6 ages so imagine breaking a kid’s heart because of something happening not on the card, a card not being able to resolve or will not resolve the way they thought intended. Branded lost is a failed card in that aspect. I see why it’s a common vs foil for sure tricky rulings
@@SwagMaster824 true, I mean if Konami is going to be consistent with this concept it could be grasped by eventually majority (activation and effect negation needing to be understood vs just the effect) It just feels so weird and still makes since at the same, telling the opponent “I negate with ash” after stating “I activate” while MM and Branded Loss are active on field. That’s how you separate the localist from the regionalist I see
Number 5 doesn't make any sense at all. Consider Mechaba under lancea. Mechaba can't negate under lancea because of the wording "negate the activation, and if you do, banish that card" but through your explanation for number 5 then mechaba would still be able to negate even though it can't banish the card due to lancea. How does that make any sense?
Personally I think it makes sense that the new controller can activate the effect. It met it's trigger condition and is the same card 🤷🏽♂️ but hey whatever Konami says
I think it's such an issue now since branded in red exist, I played through invoked format when it just came out we never argued meltdown super poly was at 1 I think and that never came up often either much other than the occasional I chain torrential after summon . The issue now is how prevelant branded in red is and how often it comes up its a quick play able to be played on your opponents turn so now chains really start mattering as opposed to I play invocation which will always be last to resolve.
*sniff sniff* that last Ruling smells like BULLLLLLSHITTTTTT. CL1 TripleTac, CL2 IP Masq, resolve, summon Knightmare Unicorn, take control of knightmare Unicorn, THE CONTROLLER the guy who activated TripleTac gets to activate knightmare unicorn. That's how it was WHY is konami making a bull shit? idk for some reason despia player's sharking got them a ruling IDK HOW. it is so sad seeing such a dogshit deck be meta.

Ill be honest, Regulus on continuous card activation's was a really good question to answer
This is great because every one of these regulus rulings came up this past locals and I'm glad they were ruled correctly
Regulus works similarly to ash. Ash doesn't negate effects that are on the field, unlike effect veiler and imperm.
I dealt with it on Ash vs Macro Cosmos
I got swindled on that skill drain vs regulus ruling this past weekend (the player said drain was negated for the turn). Would definitely have changed how the game went entirely. Thanks Tombox this will help me next time
Sorry man, its just inexperience yah know. The Ash vs Tenki comparison will usually work out the argument correctly for the most part.
Also ash vs macro cosmos is also a good comparison
Unless Skill Drain was already active on the field, Regulus can't activate its effect.
@@77EatMyUnderpants77 Regulus can still activate under Skill drain. If Regulus tributed itself, it will still resolve under Skill drain.

I get it, most will say “get competent” to get good but the packs still say +6 ages so imagine breaking a kid’s heart because of something happening not on the card, a card not being able to resolve or will not resolve the way they thought intended.
Branded lost is a failed card in that aspect. I see why it’s a common vs foil for sure tricky rulings
It’s not any different than magical meltdown and everyone knows how that card works.
@@SwagMaster824 true, I mean if Konami is going to be consistent with this concept it could be grasped by eventually majority (activation and effect negation needing to be understood vs just the effect)
It just feels so weird and still makes since at the same, telling the opponent “I negate with ash” after stating “I activate” while MM and Branded Loss are active on field. That’s how you separate the localist from the regionalist I see
When my bday comes I'll hit up your store, but if you make a black sleeve I may pop up sooner. 👀
Number 5 doesn't make any sense at all. Consider Mechaba under lancea. Mechaba can't negate under lancea because of the wording "negate the activation, and if you do, banish that card" but through your explanation for number 5 then mechaba would still be able to negate even though it can't banish the card due to lancea. How does that make any sense?
Yea i dont agree with that ttt vs guardian ruling
Personally I think it makes sense that the new controller can activate the effect. It met it's trigger condition and is the same card 🤷🏽♂️ but hey whatever Konami says
@@Boristien405 I agree with you
Branded Lost was a mistake
Say what you will about how busted Super Poly is, but at least it's easy to understand
But it's the same effect as meltdown.
I think it's such an issue now since branded in red exist, I played through invoked format when it just came out we never argued meltdown super poly was at 1 I think and that never came up often either much other than the occasional I chain torrential after summon . The issue now is how prevelant branded in red is and how often it comes up its a quick play able to be played on your opponents turn so now chains really start mattering as opposed to I play invocation which will always be last to resolve.
Oh sure... Ban meltdown too while we are at it
Nice ruling about snow n tragedy, shows that the ycs "champ" cheated
4:06
*sniff sniff* that last Ruling smells like BULLLLLLSHITTTTTT. CL1 TripleTac, CL2 IP Masq, resolve, summon Knightmare Unicorn, take control of knightmare Unicorn, THE CONTROLLER the guy who activated TripleTac gets to activate knightmare unicorn.
That's how it was WHY is konami making a bull shit? idk for some reason despia player's sharking got them a ruling IDK HOW. it is so sad seeing such a dogshit deck be meta.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Regulus is kinda busted.
Your explanation of conjunctions was very bad please go over each with clear examples thanks this is very important and not talked about enough
I'm sure there is a SEGOC dedicated video out there...
