The template has since been updated. All you need to do know is insert the card's name, and that's it. Example:

Hi. I'm confused: What is the card tips page for?--Dnahelix (talk • contribs) 01:20, January 19, 2018 (UTC)
 * Adding tips for using a card that is more specific to that card but not so complicated that it's unlikely to be successful. --MasterMarik (talk • contribs) 01:22, January 19, 2018 (UTC)

Ok........ Today I put 2 tips on the page of lee the world chalice fairy, and I'll give you that the first tip is not the easiest to pull off, simply because it hinges on drawing 2 specific cards, and one of them is at limited status. But the revival combo is like one of the best gimmicks of the archetype, aurum is a generic premature burial, and lee feeds aurum's effect by sending monsters from the hand to the GY. Better yet, in the typical flow of a world chalice combo, far more often than not, you will find yourself with this exact set-up: Aurum in the extra monster zone, pointing to at least another world chalice monster, and lee in grave. The perfect set up for my(well....not MY) combo. I play this deck, I'm not just trying this out. I know it works, and use it on a regular basis, irl and online. But don't take my word for it, just check out world chalice combos on YouTube and Reddit and others, this is one of the simplest and most obvious ones, mostly with the suggestions that I mentioned. --Dnahelix (talk • contribs) 01:59, January 19, 2018 (UTC)


 * It's not that they're difficult to pull off but that they're too generic. They can work in a lot of Decks so they're not good tips to add. --MasterMarik (talk • contribs) 02:54, January 19, 2018 (UTC)

Hey Marik. Have you checked Forum:Proposal to Fork to Yugipedia? Becasita Pendulum (talk • contribs) 22:34, January 20, 2018 (UTC)


 * I've heard about that. I don't understand why this is necessary. --MasterMarik (talk • contribs) 22:41, January 20, 2018 (UTC)

Hi, i'm confused: How well are you familiar with the game?--Dnahelix (talk • contribs) 13:51, January 23, 2018 (UTC)
 * Quite. Why?--MasterMarik (talk • contribs) 13:59, January 23, 2018 (UTC)

Well.........every single time I put a new tip, you strike it down, and I'm not coming up with those tips you know......I just try to build these decks and try to figure out what works and what doesn't. I put up the interaction between "yazi evil of the yang zing","destrudo" and "mare mare", and every modern zefra/yang zing control deck uses exactly the combo that I did put like 4 months ago, but you removed it. Then I put a simple world chalice combo the other day, and you strike it too. Now I put a combo to add consistency to dark magician decks, and you don't like it, so it's gone. I'm sorry if I seem a bit triggered, but I don't see why you keep so many dumb and irrelevant combos that can't be even used anymore because of master rule 4, but every time I put up a popular combo that I tried irl and online and streamlined it so it's not too wonky, fringe, or inconsistent, it gets removed......and only by you! Other moderators removed some of my tips, I talked to them, and they put them back, or at least a simpler version of them. or at least, they gave me an objective reason as to why it's not good enough for the tips page. You are the only one that has to have the last word, and with little more reason than what appears to be an arbitrary opinion... --Dnahelix (talk • contribs) 14:37, January 23, 2018 (UTC)

I like to discuss cards and tips, that's why I come to these pages, you know.....--Dnahelix (talk • contribs) 14:43, January 23, 2018 (UTC)


 * Your tip doesn't make it any easier to bring out Dark Magician the Dragon Knight. In fact, it takes more effort than just using Dark Magician and a vanilla Dragon-Type monster. Heck, using Eye of Timaeus is better still. --MasterMarik (talk • contribs) 14:52, January 23, 2018 (UTC)

let me explain how this combo works: in a DM deck, everyone plays "magicians navigation", I use it to summon DM from hand, and a "trump witch" from the deck, then tribute the witch by its own effect to get a copy of polymerization from deck or grave, /THEN I summon "imduk" from the extra deck, using the DM on the field as material, because DM decks don't have Dragon monsters that mesh naturally in the main deck/ then I either resummon DM from the geave with "eternal soul", or use a DM in hand as the other material to fusion summon "Dark Magician The Dragon Knight". the whole point is to avoid using "the eye of timaeus", because it cannot be searched for I an a standard DM deck, whereas all the card I mentioned in the combo are either readily searchable, or are usable in this combo without affecting the consistency of the deck, unlike "timaeus" which is a bad card to draw multiples of, and hence hinders the consistency.

"witch" can also be used as a scale, or used as a fusion card if drawn, either by tributing it or using it's pendulum effect. polymerization is a standalone card that can fusion summon from the hand, unlike other fusion cards in the deck

DM, eternal soul, and navigation are all staples, and are consistently used in every single DM duel.

you have to try this combo to figure out it's benefits. I give you that they may not be that obvious at first sight. but many people are suggesting running "link spider" in the deck just so the can resummon DM another time and trigger "dark magical circle" one more time, I wanted to point out to anyone considering link spider that imduk does mostly the same thing, plus it has this bonus interaction with the deck.--Dnahelix (talk • contribs) 15:32, January 23, 2018 (UTC)


 * That's a strategy you're unlikely to pull off in a given Duel. Link Spider sucks too. You're better off with just Eye of Timaeus and Dark Magician. Running 3 Eyes increases your chances you'll draw it, plus you can search Dark Magician more generically with Summoner's Art and bring it out for free with Ancient Rules. --MasterMarik (talk • contribs) 15:44, January 23, 2018 (UTC)

and we return to my original question: do you actually play the game? ;)--Dnahelix (talk • contribs) 15:57, January 23, 2018 (UTC)


 * I have played the game, just not recently. I keep up with the cards as they're released. --MasterMarik (talk • contribs) 15:59, January 23, 2018 (UTC)

well, if you'd like, i'll send you an actual picture of my irl deck. it's built to be as fast and consistent as possible, I acutally use summoner's art in it, to improve consistency, but cards like ancient rules and timaeus drag consistency down severely, because they cannot be searched, so you cannot use them when you want them, and probably not see them when needed forcing the player to rely on the luck of the draw instead of picking the actual cards they need from the deck directly regardless of what they draw. in my DM deck I use many other unpopular techs, that bring different, and more importantly, unexpected aspects to the deck that make hard for my opponent to deal with or even follow.

i'm not a fanboy that found out some cards work together and got excited!, i'm an actual player who uses these combos to win.

plus, let's for argument's sake say that my combo is bad, don't you think that each player has the right to decide if they want to give it a try or not? I don't think that everyone's deck should be the same, trust me, some people are doing crazy things with DM out there, mixing and matching it with other archetypes, and I think they should all come here and present their tips, and share their experiences with the deck too.

as a player, I come to the wikia to find out the potential of every card I play, to find out different, and unexpected ways to use them, that may turn out to serve my purpose, and I believe others come here for the same reason. and I wish that you at least ask for the opinion of someone with knowledge of the current DM deck, to try this and tell you if it's a good or bad tip.

and that, my dear friend, is the last i'll say about this subject, hopefully, my next contribution won't be removed......... :,(--Dnahelix (talk • contribs) 16:26, January 23, 2018 (UTC)

explain necro
Hi, you removed my post from Talk:Banish.

I have heard the term "necrobumping", but did not think it applied to Forum:Temporary banished. Again, I am new to wikia and the explanations of protocol are not intuitive.

Shall I make a new ruling page called Temporarily banished, which is the similar to Kukuhangoh's post?

Also, shall I delete my response to Kukuhango on the talk page, if you consider that necro?

Finally, my post mentioned a rules contradiction between a line from Banish and the rulebook. Does that belong on a different forum post, or the same forum post?

Thanks for your patience. --Vitesse0 (talk • contribs) 17:48, January 25, 2018 (UTC)


 * The discussion hadn't been updated in quite a while, several months at least. That's a necrobump/necropost. You also shouldn't make a rulings page unless it contains official info. --MasterMarik (talk • contribs) 18:03, January 25, 2018 (UTC)


 * Thanks for advise. For my query, should I delete and make a new query, or wait a month and then bump? not trying to necro, just wanted some feedback.--Vitesse0 (talk • contribs) 21:10, January 25, 2018 (UTC)


 * Well personally, gameplay rules are going to differ to the TCG so you shouldn't really use them as a source for rulings. --MasterMarik (talk • contribs) 21:41, January 25, 2018 (UTC)
 * oh. I guess that makes sense. thanks. --Vitesse0 (talk • contribs) 03:59, January 26, 2018 (UTC)

Artifacts
I noticed that you undid my addition to the Trivia section on the Artifacts archetype page, because there was "no evidence it was intentional."

You did read the first three words of my addition, right?--Garr9988 (talk • contribs) 23:00, January 26, 2018 (UTC)


 * Those three words are irrelevant because as I said there's no evidence that Konami intentionally based the design on Warehouse 13. --MasterMarik (talk • contribs) 23:05, January 26, 2018 (UTC)


 * Even if there's no evidence it's intentional, I think it's still worth mentioning considering how obvious the (at the very least) coincidence is. There's no denying there's some sort of connection.--Garr9988 (talk • contribs) 23:26, January 26, 2018 (UTC)


 * The fact is, we only mention it IF there's evidence it's intentional. Otherwise, it's a matter of opinion. --MasterMarik (talk • contribs) 00:24, January 27, 2018 (UTC)

--Ryjack500 (talk • contribs) 19:32, January 27, 2018 (UTC)Sorry, removed Witch of the Black Forest from the Traditional Format section on Wulf, Lightsworn Beast--Ryjack500 (talk • contribs) 19:32, January 27, 2018 (UTC)

Yugipedia fork
The fork to Yugipedia officially happened. Since you're a frequent editor, how about you import your account from Wikia to there? The account import is rather buggy at the moment, so just be patient if it happens to you. ChaosGallade (talk • contribs) 20:27, January 27, 2018 (UTC)


 * How is editing/creating pages over there compared to here?--MasterMarik (talk • contribs) 20:27, January 27, 2018 (UTC)


 * It should be relatively the same as here. Unlike here, the new site allows anonymous editing, though that may change eventually. ChaosGallade (talk • contribs) 20:32, January 27, 2018 (UTC)


 * Well am attempting to import but so far no luck. Hopefully it gets resolved soon. --MasterMarik (talk • contribs) 20:43, January 27, 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep trying everyday. ChaosGallade (talk • contribs) 20:54, January 27, 2018 (UTC)

Hey! Regarding your edit on the Rafael page: How exactly is that a matter of opinion? He basically blackmailed Yugi, by threatening him to jump off the cliff if he attacked. If not for that, Yugi would have won. It is certainly not a clear cut win like Rafael's. Forenperser (talk • contribs) 18:23, January 28, 2018 (UTC)


 * Anyone could've said that it was fair so yes it is up to opinion. --MasterMarik (talk • contribs) 19:21, January 28, 2018 (UTC)

F.A. Pit Stop
Hi: Yes it does, because chain link 2 resolves first, sending pit stop to the grave, then chain link 1 resolves(pit stop) that lets you draw cards equal to the number of pit stops in the grave +1, which equals draw 2 cards. it's an official ruling. there are many similarly silly effects in the game, where you can modify the board state during the chain links so that you get a different effect, like "night beam" ruling, that lets you activate the targeted card if it's not activated as a direct chain link.--Dnahelix (talk • contribs) 21:08, February 4, 2018 (UTC)

It's not an official ruling because the TCG HAS no rulings anymore, plus the card is't in Japan yet. You're just making this up. Also, Night Beam prevents the targeted card from being activated in response so that's wrong too. --MasterMarik (talk • contribs) 21:32, February 4, 2018 (UTC)

you draw equal to the number of "pit stop"s in the grave +1, this means, the first one you activate get's you to draw & card, the second gets you to darw 2, and the third one gets you to draw 3. it's like when an odd-eyes absolute dragon detaches an odd-eyes pendulum dragon as a material, it can summon it back even though not only it's not another chain, it's not even a different chain link, it just so happens that the odd-eyes pendulum dragon is in the grave at the right time, not at the activation. similarly, pit stop would count itself because when its effect resolves, the card would have already left the field because of mystical space typhoon, and at the time of resolving, there is actually one pit stop in grave[the same one that started the chain. I don't know how to make it clearer, and I have real life judges at my locals that gave me this ruling, so idk if it's official enough for you, but this is how this card works, just read the text.....--Dnahelix (talk • contribs) 22:00, February 4, 2018 (UTC)


 * Your combo only activates 1 so you're drawing 1 card. When it resolves, it's basing on what was in their at the time of resolution, which is 0. Thus, 0 + 1 = 1 card drawn. Also, that scenario with Odd-Eyes absolute isn't the same thing, especially since Odd-Eyes will go to the Extra Deck not the Grave. --MasterMarik (talk • contribs) 22:04, February 4, 2018 (UTC)

When you detach a material from an xyz monster it goes to the grave even if it's a pendulum monster, you are showing a remarkable ignorance of the rules of the game. also, when resolving a chain, the last chain in the link will resolve first, it says so in the rule book, and the lower chain links are still not considered to be resolved, they're only considered to be activated. and pit stop doesn't say that you count the number of pit stops in grave at activation. as for night beam, not only am I sure of the ruling, because it was used as said in duels streamed by konami itself, it's even on the wiki page for the card!!!--Dnahelix (talk • contribs) 22:22, February 4, 2018 (UTC)
