By the way is written, depending on how is written you know if its passive or activation based effect, I'm not that great differencing them that's why I take notes
@@L0ztZ0ld13r oh i understand. Im just saying over the last 10 years ive had many cases where head judges get rulings wrong. so it doesnt matter how well you know the rules if they dont.
Charmiskit yeah it was at YCS Utrecht. They ruled that if you have Meltdown up, your opponent can’t proc their shaddoll effects on their own fusion summons. Ridiculous ruling
AJ Lynch Happened to me once. I am also a Judge and I convinced the head judge he was wrong. My oppo was cheating hard using metaverse and chained his own solemn judgment to metaverse as CL2. The problem was oppo activated those cards just because he was locked out and activated Metaverse without any valid target into the deck. Judge said you need proof, I said check his deck for targets, judge said I cant and called the head judge which at the start also said I will not check for it without any proof. But I said just check his hand, he had 2 Mystic Mine to GY and 10 cards left into the deck, just check his hand. Oppo got banned from events for cheating.
I recently had done a full combo under my own winda... It was the match game and ended up realizing i cheated so i forfeited the game. Ended up getting a draw with the guy.
Something similar happened to me, but i didnt missplay, i revived a Super Agent and my opponent thought i had to delcare a card type to bring it back, he automatically flipped the top card of his deck and showed me the card that was next, without me telling him or asking him. I won that full set, but i gave him that game just to be fair (even though most players here arent very fair about anything)
I love this video cuz I always take notes on my Yu-Gi-Oh card ruling book that I have always at the ready be it at locals or regionals so thanks Tombox!!! For doing this types of videos
13:20 - Indeed. Something else to remember is that if you protect a monster with Light Dragon @Ignister from being destroyed by Tiger, it DOES try to destroy itself again in the next End Phase, not just your next End Phase, and not just that first End Phase, just like Instant Fusion.
I have a ruling question between Lost world and Dingirsu, the Orcust of the Evening Star. If I have Lost World on the field and my opponent has Dingirsu, the Orcust of the Evening Star, when I attack the token, who gets to protect the token first? I thought I would because I'm the turn player, but my locals has ruled that my opponent gets to protect it. Can someone confirm who gets to protect it first? Also, can you point me to when I can read the ruling for myself and for my local judge? Thanks.
There are actually some things that the automatic online simulator does differently. There is this weird ruling about graveyard effects that are actually ruled differently for the TCG and OCG. Most simulators use the OCG rulings. As an example, if you use Oviraptor to destroy a Baby and then summon that same Baby back to your field you will get the destruction effect to summon a monster in the OCG, but in the TCG you will not. Simulators use the OCG ruling so in this case you would be able to summon a monster, but if you went to a tournament in the TCG you wouldn't be able to. Simulators are usually pretty consistent, but sometimes there are small things like that example that you need to watch out for.
@@nerfirelia8235 you can in tcg too, american tcg rules say that eff can only resolve if they were at the same place where it would, but for baby the ruling doesnt count cause "Konami said so"
I have played against some hero players, who special summon non dark monsters after using fusion destiny, which can be really broken. It is forgotton a lot by people, especially with new hero players.
I have actually gotten my Lambda hit by Dark Ruler No More before, and honestly, I forgot that it does turn off Gamma. I was in YGO Pro though, and I looked around once I realized I couldn't use Gamma and realized just what you said. Negated Lambda equals no PSY-Frame hand traps with a non-empty monster field. Of course, it was the first ever time that happened to me, so I'll remember that.
Hey tombox! I’m going to be attending my first YCS in May. Is there any tips or advice you can offer for going to a big tournament like this? I don’t want to cause any misplays due to lack of knowledge or anything of the sort. Thanks.
The games themselves are not really different from your locals, you will probably have a wider variety or decks to play against but other than that the games don't really differ. There are always judges at big events so don't hesitate to call them when something is unclear or you are unsure of a ruling. What differs is everything else: Watch your stuff and only take the thing you really need with you, for me that's deck, decklist, playmat, pen and paper, dice and some snacks and drinks, depending on how much time I have a trade binder as well. For large events like a YCS I usually take a powerbank with me as well. All in all I would say just think about what items you need when you go on a trip for a day and take those with you.
Somehow i knew these rulings and i guess i been studying hard lately to finally judge for more than a locals. Trying to go to regional or next ycs Niagara to judge.
Aight so just a quick question that I’ve been trying to get answered for a very long time: when can Stardust Warrior’s effect be activated? Meaning, is it like a solemn judgement but in Synchro form?
Hey Tombox could you maybe make a video about Dwellers rulings ? Like going over more different cards like Balelynx ? ( basicly giving more examples of this applying of wrong rulings)
There shouldn't be anything confusing about Dweller. It clearly states that effects which normally activate in the GY can't be activated. Balelynx (and similar destruction-preventative effects) don't activate. It's a matter of learning how to read PSCT. If you're interested, there's an obscure "how to read PSCT" video
At a YCS once my opponent and I ran into the double Lost World problem and neither of us new what to do so we called the judge and he ruled that the turn player would be chain link 1 and the opponent would be chain link 2. This is wrong of course like the video explains, but we didn't know so about 10 dinosaurs ended up being destroyed that game lol.
I have a question about: Cyberse Quantum Dragon's second effect: When it attacks, at the start of the damage step, if the card battles an opponents monster, you can return the monster to the oppents hand. When it makes the second attack and the opponent has another monster, can Cyberse Quantum Dragon return it to the hand?
At the KC regional I faced a Shaddoll player in round 3, he had told me my previous turn when I'd summoned my Guan Yun and popped one of his monsters that his Caliga stopped me from activating monster effects. On his turn he then attempted 4 or 5 SEGOC effects, I told him he couldn't do so per his own Caliga (who allows one attempt of a monster effect activation, no more, per turn). He tried to claim he could do so, upon calling both a standard judge, who rules in my favor, and then my opponent declares he's contesting the ruling, the head judge comes to the room we were in (they had too many people for the main room alone) and he also rules in my favor. I was doing all of this with no sleep had on the way to the event, since I cannot drive due to a physical disability caused by a genetic condition, and it's a 7 hour drive from the Twin Cities to KCK. Unfortunately my opponent couldn't leave the match at the table as we went to get lunch the following round and he was expressing his distaste aloud, causing friends/acquaintances of mine to ask me what I did to him thankfully we all had a good laugh about it
Tomboxcreation i have a question. Eternal souls is my face down and i have a magicians rod in grave. No other copies of dark magicians to summon but i do have one dark magician on my field. Can i activate eternal souls by flipping it face up just for the protection effect and then activate rod in GY to tribute my DM to ad rod to hand and then use the effect of eternal souls to bring my dark magician to the field to activate dark magical circle effect to banish.
I have a question. My opponent has 3 monster on the field, 1 salamangreat and 2 non salamangreat. I activated darkhole and he play baelynx effect in the gy. Does it protect all 3 monster or just the salamagreat monster??
I wish he would have covered Lost World more in depth. For example, same situation as explained by Tombox, but what if both players control a normal monster while a mass destruction effect occurs (Dark Hole)? Or what if one player controls more than one normal monster?
Can you explain why balelynx and even dingirsu’s effect to protect from destrucion stills works even if they are under called by the grave? It happens all the time in ygopro and i thought it was a bug or something. But it was explained in cimo’s channel why this is actually right but I’m still confused
Let's say I impermanence a winda or called by the grave a winda in the grave. Since it's a continuous effect (to not special summon more than once) if the effect is negated can I then special or will the continuous effect linger on?
Yup, you are free to play as you wish! Imperm and Called By negates any effects printed on the card essentially making said monster just a vanilla meat shield; a Skill Drain for a single monster, if you will.
One question I have with the lost world ruling, what happens if I choose to forgo the replacement effect? Does the token get destroyed or does my opponent get the opportunity to use the replacement effect for their lost world? I suspect the latter
The turn player has the option to apply the effect of Lost World first. If they choose not to, the opponent (who controls the Token) may choose to apply their effect of Lost World, instead.
You can usually find them under the ruling tabs on sites which lead to data base rulings which are official. But many of which are just precedent rulings and a you can just see what people attempt to activate / forget or try to get away with. As a judge myself with RC-2 and having asked a ton of questions to head judges. Learning how the problem solving card text work is really important
Important question: shadoll winda be thousand eyes restrict. People said it’s still face up even if I take it with the effect of thousand eyes and now I’m stuck on 1 summon but it’s now a monster on the field anymore it’s just a equip card. To me that’s like have a pendulum effect be a monster effect at the same time just cause it’s face up but I lost the argument. Pls help
While I was playing at locals, I controlled a Blue-eyes alternative ultimate dragon (can't be destroyed by card effects). My opponent trying to out it made El shaddoll construct and attacked into it. They didn't realize that B.E. alt ult dragon can't be destroyed by card effect and stated that his card isn't destroyed because the destruction effect doesn't resolve and the attack doesn't go through. I am very confident in stating that this is false, can anyone confirm or deny this?
I'm pretty sure his El shadoll construct gets blown up , and mostly its because he's already committed to battle. and his card doesn't have any protection. So it's a rap for him.
well, because the destruction effect result in the monster not being destroyed, the battle is still happening if it would be destroyed, then the battle ends with no damage for both players, because there was no opposing monster to battle anymore
Hey tombox do you think that lunalight tiger should be banned? Or revise the rules to make it to where you can only activate 1 pendulum monster in each scale zone per turn?(if you activate 2 scales, then bounce one of them back, you can't reactivate it that turn)
I had a guy a locals this past weekend pull some shady stuff. He activated an effect to search with a crusadia link monster. I was unfamiliar with the card, so I went to read it. As I read it, deciding wether or not to respond, he already searched his deck for the card and pulled it out. I called him out on it and wanted him as I activated my ash blossom. 1 time is fine, maybe he didn’t think I had a response, but I warned him. I took that game. Game 2, I went to inspect the banish pile, and he goes to activate terraforming without letting me know. When I look up, he has pulled his field spell out of his deck and I ask him wtf he’s doing as I activate ash again. He says it’s my fault for not checking the field. Should’ve reported him, but I clapped him for a quick 2-0.
Something that I just thought of , is there a cap on the amount of “miss plays” a player can perform in a game until it is considered intentional cheating and receive a penalty because of it
6701kirby it is to the discretion of the judge(s) and the type of event can also be taken into account (someone in a ycs final will be held to higher standards than a beginner playing his first local)
When an effect activates there is usually a ":" or ";" before the actual effect, so something along the lines of " If X happens : You can do Y". This can be different on older cards that are not designed with PSCT in mind.
@@jofx4051 Not only cards that substitute can be used. Any effect that does not activate may be used, infernoid monsters are a good example: Their effects to special summon themselves can be used under dweller since they do not activate.
As I do enjoy these types of videos I feel like the game as a whole has such a big issue with text descriptions. The game really needs some type of description wording change or something that makes the cards have an easier way of having what needs to be said for card effects. I dont really know what they can do since I don't work game development but its one of the biggest issues I have with the game.
Borreload can’t take Construct. Borreload would have to activate as chain link one then construct chain link two, resolve backwards: Construct destroys Borreload, Borreload has no zone to take to.
It depends on what was most recently activated. if the opponent used calamities, and then you played lair, everything is dark. If you play lair, and later on your opponent uses calamities, then monsters become the declared attribute.
I understand the opponent not knowing those rules but the player with the deck not knowing is weird... if you are going to play a deck you should know every stupid and obscure rullling that affects it...
All these miss reads and misplays are cause koonami are idiots in there mass card text and put these hard to read cards and confusing combos and unless you literally study the game like a college class then you want know what's going on. Lol shame yugioh gx didn't have class on this. It would of been a great episode. I wont deny it ive miss read cards or missplayed cause of confusing rulings. Yugioh is a shit storm of being unorganized and should keep things simple. I'm not gonna play competitively cause of how confusing the game is. I've spent matches looking things up cause of the wording or interaction.
I still don't understand how any of these are rulings honestly. It's just you simply reading and understanding card text. If someone can't read and understand card texts, what makes you think they'll understand these "Rulings". Great video though!
Happened to me once opponent was tryin to cheat; I am also a Judge and I convinced the head judge he was wrong. My oppo was cheating hard using metaverse CL1 and chained his own solemn judgment to metaverse as CL2.

But I said just check his hand, he had 2 Mystic Mine to GY and 10 cards left into the deck, just check his hand. Oppo got banned from events for cheating. His last Field spell was into his hand... ;) fucking cheaters
mostly its enough for a judge to check his hand, grave, bannish including facedown and list + side deck i mean then with process of elimination you can get what is in the deck left
It doesn’t matter if the head judge disagrees with the actual rules.

Borreload is immune to other monstereffects. Meaning that Construct just gets taken (though I may be wrong)
Marius Nistor borreload is not immune to monster effects. Borreload just can’t be targeted by monster effects.
@@doublebasszealot1686 that's incorrect. Construct is mandatory CL1, Borreload optional CL2. Resolve as usual
@@roberthemway8435 so would borreload be destroyed and construct is then taken?
WAIT. Tombox makes mistakes? Okay now I'm mad. >:(
Are you the guy from Ugly Delicious
My.cousin asked if I was david Chang... Sadly no :(
Calamaties vs Lair of Darkness. Opponent declares fire the I activate Lair. Or, Lair is face up then they activate Calamaties
It depends on what was most recently activated. if the opponent used calamities, and then you played lair, everything is dark. If you play lair, and later on your opponent uses calamities, then monsters become the declared attribute.
Richard Pizza Thanks bro
Just on field not in Hand so doesnt matter
For continuous effects rule of thumb whatever happened last usually takes over what happened before
@@Jerry4281 not relevant because type change is just for the field
AH ACTUALLY, Balelynx is unclassified. :)
Keypoint doesn't activate
I understand the opponent not knowing those rules but the player with the deck not knowing is weird... if you are going to play a deck you should know every stupid and obscure rullling that affects it...
It happens even to the best of them. Not everyone knows or the know the wrong concept.
All these miss reads and misplays are cause koonami are idiots in there mass card text and put these hard to read cards and confusing combos and unless you literally study the game like a college class then you want know what's going on. Lol shame yugioh gx didn't have class on this. It would of been a great episode. I wont deny it ive miss read cards or missplayed cause of confusing rulings. Yugioh is a shit storm of being unorganized and should keep things simple. I'm not gonna play competitively cause of how confusing the game is. I've spent matches looking things up cause of the wording or interaction.
I still don't understand how any of these are rulings honestly. It's just you simply reading and understanding card text. If someone can't read and understand card texts, what makes you think they'll understand these "Rulings". Great video though!
Sometimes its not just about card Text...
Happened to me once opponent was tryin to cheat; I am also a Judge and I convinced the head judge he was wrong. My oppo was cheating hard using metaverse CL1 and chained his own solemn judgment to metaverse as CL2. The problem was oppo activated those cards just because he was locked out (no zones for win condition cards) and activated Metaverse without any valid target into the deck. Judge said to me you need proof, I said check his deck for targets, judge said I can't and called the head judge which at the start also said I will not check for it without any proof. But I said just check his hand, he had 2 Mystic Mine to GY and 10 cards left into the deck, just check his hand. Oppo got banned from events for cheating. His last Field spell was into his hand... ;) fucking cheaters
mostly its enough for a judge to check his hand, grave, bannish including facedown and list + side deck
i mean then with process of elimination you can get what is in the deck left
im too early
2nd
