Forum:Idiots who don't know rulings or how the game works.

Guy I was dueling on Dueling Network thought he could use my Ultimate Offering during his turn. Afterwards, I offer a rematch to which he says I don't know my rulings and says I'm bad at dueling. Worst part is he said he played for 3 years. >.> Post your horrible duels with people who don't understand the game below for some laughes or facepalms.

He's just out of date. The oldest version of the card allowed either player to use it. The newer ones are changed so that only the controller can use it. (Though, you must follow the newest errata, regardless of the card you have). -Falzar FZ- (talk page|useful stuff) 04:54, January 29, 2012 (UTC)

If it makes you feel any better, someone tried to use Effect Veiler on my Archlord Kristya to allow him to Special Summon during his own Main Phase. When I called him out on the wording he decided not to read his own card. (Second time he did that during the same duel.) Plus, I had another guy try to Special Summon virtually every turn while I had Kristya out. Djjomon (talk • contribs) 06:53, January 29, 2012 (UTC)

well, i dueled a guy using a burn deck (sorta) he used GK Servant then CHAINED Messenger of Peace then chained again Chain Strike. He keeps insisting it is possible and have dueled alot more people BETTER than me and said its possible O.o lol 33royward (talk • contribs) 07:04, January 29, 2012 (UTC)

Oh what happens is quite abysmall; from chaining normal traps and monster effects to my counters to not knowing that if I can chain a trap they target means that they don't get a new target...oh and whoever mentioned people trying to special summon while they got Kristya, same thing happens while I got Fossil Dyna out. NO ONE keeps track of One Day Of Peace's effect, overextending as a result. Also there are those fine folk that think anything of thiers being sent to the grave on thier own effects is a cost and thus can't be negated. (Foolish Burial a cost to them ~_~) 76.102.180.94 (talk) 07:40, January 29, 2012 (UTC)

Dueling Network is full of terrible players. I dueled a guy who thinks they can use Gladiator Beasts' effect DURING the battle phase, not the end of the battle phase, and when I told him to read the card, he left. I also dueled a person who thinks Odin's summon can't be negated with Solemn Warning. I also dueled a guy who thought tokens can be used for Xyz summons. The list goes on and on, but the worst for me had to be when I dueled a guy who thought the game was like Duelist Kingdom rules, and he didn't even know what flip effects were or what tributes were, and he said he's been dueling for a year. Dueling Network is a good site, but the major problem is bad players. Neos01 (talk • contribs) 12:34, January 29, 2012 (UTC)

Most of the duelists on the dueling network are really bad, the stupidest mistake is trying to use Pot of Duality or Sangan while Thunder King Rai-Oh is on the field (it's even worse if they control the thundr king).

I happened to run into one user who think "Summon is Summon", reckless if it's part of effect, like "Van'Dalgyon the Dark Dragon Lord" can be negated by.... "Solemn JUDGMENT" and he also said that the UDE Rulings I showed to him (Van'Dalgyon's in case) is no longer true and Konami is his proof. He still not changed ever after I got many proves; couple from here and few from other users, included dest while he's still activate and couple Admins. -- F  r  e  d  C  a  t  12:47, January 29, 2012 (UTC)

How about an opponent attacking my Set Don Zaloog with something weaker... I think it was Armageddon Knight, then refusing to discard, saying that Zaloog's effect only activates on an attack from me.Battlemaniac (talk • contribs) 22:15, January 29, 2012 (UTC)

People who think MST negates stuff. I'll activate like Pot of Consistency or something, and they'll chain MST thinking it negates my card. A guy I played against just yesterday with like 1200/2000 did not know that discarding a DARK monster for Dark Grepher is a cost (he was running Dark Worlds, so you can only imagine the mess that ensued). People who don't read your cards when they don't know what they do. I don't run Dark Worlds anymore because I get sick of people not knowing the attack power of my stuff when I have Gates out or use Raven's effect. People who don't know how gaining an extra Normal summon with Swap Frog works. Another guy I played was a real winner. I had Glow-Up in grave. I milled to summon it, and it was Wulf, so I summoned Wulf. HE for some reason thought I was trying to mill for Lyla, and said wait till the End Phase to mill. I put Glow-Up back in grave, out Wulf on my deck, and repeated my move to show him how slow he is. He still didn't understand, so I said to him verbatim "I'm not listening to you anymore because you have lost your damn mind!". Then I summoned Trishula and beat the holy bahjeezus out of him. These are just the few stories I can remember right now. -- Summoned Skull 2: Electric Boogaloo  22:31, January 29, 2012 (UTC)

Nice choice of names, Summoned Skull 2. Which bring me back to my old days when I had a conflict with outdated judge, who is also playing the game at that time. He tributed his own Monster for Dark Strike Fighter, burn me down then tributed my own monsters (which I didn't know it was illegal back then) to torturing me to death. Next one; He tried to playing "Solemn JUDGMENT" on the summoning of "Shining Angel" which used by other copies, while inside the BATTLE PHASE/DAMAGE CALCULATION. I told him off and he pouted as he shoved his trap back face-down. Final part; he told me off that I can't tribute "Stardust Dragon" or "Exiled Force" while "Skill Drain" is face-up on the field. He didn't realize that Tribute part is actually Cost so I gave him a walk paper and took this job which I am continuing to collect today. -- F  r  e  d  C  a  t  22:38, January 29, 2012 (UTC)

Once I had Vanity's Fiend on the field, he tried to monster reborn, I said you can't special summon with Vanity on the field. So he tried to synchro summon with the excuse "Synchro monsters are synchro summoned not special summoned". He ragequit once I pasted the link for Synchro Summon. Once in rated, about 700~ rating, I had a ryko set from last turn, I flipped it to get rid of his only monster, normal summoned Dimensional Alchemist and was told, "Idiot learn how to play, you can't normal summon on the same turn you flip summon." Then he ragequit. Quite a few people that refused to believe S/T are included in Gorz the Emissary of Darkness's condition to summon. Even in the 600-800's. I've had my own stuff ups though. I was playing a Malefic deck, Was against an Elemental HERO The Shining with 3200 attack, my opponent had pretty low LP, I only had about 100. My field spell was Clear World so if that turn ended I lost, if I destroyed it I'd lose a Malefic. So what happened was I forgot that Maxx "C" only works on your opponents summons. I can't remember the exact game but I think I dropped Maxx "C", activated two Geartowns (second one set first ofcourse), drew for that special summon, drew into a Malefic Cyber End Dragon and won. He didn't complain about it though, I only realised after the game ended. 124.179.112.28 (talk) 01:07, January 30, 2012 (UTC)

Let's not forget the ragequitters due to either not knowing the rulings on cards, the fact that you can build better decks than them. (Played with my newly revised Sacred deck and won 5 out of 5 rounds in a row, should have been 8 out of 8 if it wasn't for ragequitters.) Gotta love how they whine about Wind-Up Hunter loop and all that good stuff when I constantly deal with LS once an hour if I play. You don't see me complaining when JD is out there. >.> Adamtheamazing64 (talk • contribs) 01:40, January 30, 2012 (UTC)

Probably the richest moment for me is when this one time I dueled some 60 card darkworld/dragon deck. Guy didn't know that sending is not the same as discarding as he just dumped his hand for Beiige, Vanguard of Dark World TRUBO or something and used them all first turn for some reason to get out Number 10: Illumiknight, end up dropping a Goldd, Wu-Lord of Dark World. He had a Grapha in the grave right, so he tries to activate Gateway to Dark World on the same turn. I tell him he can't do that so he ends. I go and set Torrential and Morphing Jar 2 for a fairly evil combo and a dark bribe just incase. He activates gate before I end and then proceeds. He bounces Beiige...and then tries to banish Grapha for REDMD...I had to explain that it doesn't work like that. So he activates Allure and ends up summoning 2 The Tricky with Sillva, Warlord of Dark World and Red-Eyes Wyvern. He attaks morphing and he ends up milling like 20 spell cards along with a couple of traps and summons nothing useful but I blow up his field anyways just so I have a clear shot at him, where he ragequitted shortly after. 96.249.204.41 (talk) 03:37, January 30, 2012 (UTC)

Ever after see one that has it own mistake; I recalled my own - Through two different duelists I fought while using Fairy Counter deck; first one did notice but second did not. I had "Thunder King Rai-Oh" face-up on the field when I played "Pot of Duality", that's how first one reminded me and I get it reset, as I realized it was "add", not draw. However, when I fought with second duelist, he didn't see it coming but lucky that was just practice duel so he and I let that slip. Later when I drew Pot of Duality for second time in the match (that's only copy I had in that deck), I remember and not play that card (again, Thunder King Rai-Oh was around) -- F  r  e  d  C  a  t  11:37, January 30, 2012 (UTC)

Dueling with my friend on WC11; our first Duel I made a comeback while I had 100 LP left (he could have one but got cocky/miscalculated his monsters' ATK points) by pulling out "Shooting Star Dragon". Well, next Duel he summoned "Dragunity Knight - Trident", Tributed it to send "Shooting Star Dragon" from my Extra Deck to the Graveyard, then used "Monster Reborn" to revive "Dragunity Knight - Trident". At first I thought he was just making sure I didn't bring out "SSD" against him again, but then I realized he had planned to revive it with "Monster Reborn".

I just found out about the network recently, so I tried it out. My thoughts were Take on someone low rating since iI'm new (though I've been dueling for almost a decade now,) especially since I made a new Ninja deck. I was beating this guy so badly he summoned a "Speed Warrior" and I was like "WTF is he going to do with that lolz," and then he tribute summoned a "Elemental HERO Bladedge" right afterwards. I humored him, allowed him to do it, and proceeded to defeat him afterwards.

This other duel, first turn I activated "Reasoning". I asked the guy "lvl?" The guy draws. I said "Why did you draw?" He responds "IDK". I explained to him how the card works. He starts to mill his deck. I told him "No, I mill." He draws again. I offered him a draw. He rejected, I tried to call admin. After waiting 30 secs I offered another draw to which he accepted.

Imo some ppl just play dumb in rated games, hoping you would just quit so they can get easy points.Yuseiisagod (talk • contribs) 15:14, January 30, 2012 (UTC)

I am not coward and leaving the game that have been corrected if he understand the ruling right, I had all proof and details which he ignored. And that duel he disagreed was in Unrated, but I set that up first, so I forced him to leaving first. -- F  r  e  d  C  a  t  15:49, January 30, 2012 (UTC)

I was dueling this guy, and a friend came to watch and he told me that he doesn't like friends watching because it becomes a 2 on 1. I had the guy leave and then won, and he started cheating, drawing a ton of cards and Special Summoning Gorz. I called an admin and the friend back and got him Banned. I also dueled this guy who Special Summoned 5 monsters with more than 4000 ATK in a turn and when I asked him why he said he had "Allure of the King". He proceeded to End and I waited for a while until he eventually A.S.S.ed me and got him Banned for cheating and A.S.S.ing. BF2 Talk  Deck Guides 16:29, January 30, 2012 (UTC)

Eh forgot to put in some details, I am aware that Allure is mandatory with a target, banished REDMD I guess because he couldn't get it out and after the morphing 2 thing I had to wait for his turn since torrential doesn't work that quickly but figured it wasn't really nessacary to mention that. Back to some dumb stuff...other dumb things I've seen involve trying to use Glow-up more then once (they thought once per turn), summoning Treeborn with 3+backrow, and one low rated guy I faced tried using Quickdraw and Debris Dragon ignoring the summon restrictions; even worse when with Quickdraw and Level Eater they tried to get out T.G.

 * Curse Dragon/Gaia: Netdeckers.
 * SUMMONED SKULL: These guys are the worst of the worst; so dumb and so common that I say this with confidence
 * Magician Girl/Amazon Paladin: Generally good; DMG more often then the other.
 * Valkirya or whatever: Chatty
 * Astral/Neos/Dark Paladin/Jinzo: They say ok to pretty much anything; less often with the fusion and Jizno.

Allright to say some stuff, with the Bakura thing I mentioned that other possibility which leads a sense of not being new, may have had poor wording. Also I totally had no power around for a while so time to continure...after giving another tale thing.

You ever face a karakuri user that didn't know anything about forced attacks or the changing of battle positions? Or when match 2 comes around that they ignore skill drain and don't understand Chimeratech can mess with them? Using mah Naturia after losing a skill drain I had Naturia Beast out and they were dumb enough to activate 3 spells for me to negate...bleh.

Anyways back to icons kekeke. The rest (besides a few other starter icons that I don't feel strongly about enough to mention) have plenty of variety and what have you. Though I see Obelisk and Exodia use the most "tech" cards. 96.249.204.41 (talk) 20:27, February 1, 2012 (UTC)

 * Both Blue Eyes: They say GG too soon, also say ok to too much.
 * BE Ultimate: Finnally going into the rating where meta decks are common.
 * Stadust/Blackrose/Trishula: Going Synchrocentric ah yeah.
 * Armormaster/Dark End: "Respectable"
 * Only seen one of both archfiends so nothing to say there.
 * Absolute Zero/Gyzarus/Leviar/REDMD: Tend to act somewhat cocky; Leviar and REDMD don't display this as much.

 * DAD: Skillful. Probably uses meta but one that has minimal "autopilot".
 * Judement Dragon: They ruleshark alot, I check and go here enough to get into annoying disputes with them.

People who quit right after you explain a cards effect (this guy kept his monster on the field for about 6 minutes, even after I told him "Mirror Force" destroys all of his ATK position monsters, than he just quit for no reason).

I have to say I can second Shard's example. I remember testing out a Chain Burn Dark World hybrid (because well if you discard them at the same time it starts a chain, I was curious.) Of course to make those certain chain cards work, I needed to put in not as good dark worlds to make them have different names. I warned my opponent ahead of time to negate either the start or end of a chain and to note when I activated cards, at some point I was attacked after playing Dark Scheme discarding 2 friggen Graphas, Chain Strike (I had to explain the damage was MORE than 800 for like 5 minutes), and Accumulated Fortune, ended up dropping a Trag with over 6000 attack (herp derp 2 Sillva and Goldd in hand); no backrow from them ooh big mistake there. My turn play 2 reckless greeds, take control of a Flamvell Firedog and play Card Destruction. Was told right after "Can you wait a moment? Checking my Facebook."

This guy I just played 3 hours ago, OMG! He was running an Exodia/Dragon Hybrid deck, and I was running Dork Worlds because it's the least auto-run meta imo (still somewhat auto, but not fully auto like Inzektors or Wind-Ups). Anyways, I beat the crap out of him. Now I don't know if he was just upset that his next draw was Dragon's Mirror, which would have given him victory, or if this is just his way of getting wins. He refused to admit or quit, and would not give me my win. He even tried to make it look like he had game for when the admin showed up. When the admin eventually showed up, I went right to work typing things like "don't listen to a word this guy says, I HAVE SCREEN SHOTS!" The guy I beat didn't know what I meant by screen shots. He quit the moment I put up a pic of him telling me he refused to admit defeat and that I should admit instead.

I know we've all had this one. The guy who has a somewhat functioning deck, but it lacks a theme other than spamming monsters. He usually has a 400-600 rating, making it look like he's doing something somewhat right. Three monsters come out, often through the help of a Monster Reborn that should have been saved for later. Then, Obelisk or Ra come out. Their summon can't be negated, big deal. Battle Phase comes around, you have Mirror Force se and respond to their attack. "u cant activate monster effects or traps." So you pull up the ruling page for the god and prove them wrong. If they accept this, they go on to copypasta "...can't be targeted by effects..." At which point you pull up another ruling page to show that Mirror Force doesn't target (hell, it even says on Obelisk's ruling page under OCG.) Then 11/10 times you win the duel.

At the end of the turn, he uses Thor's effect to Special Summon itself. I explain why he can't do that, but couldn't find the ruling page. He argues, takes his turn, and proceeds to attack. I sat and waited until he ragequat. (Yes, I say quat.) Djjomon (talk • contribs) 00:06, February 3, 2012 (UTC)

I recall this one time in KCVDS where someone who was playing a Gadget Deck Special Summoned Machina Fortress. On my turn. I called him out on that, but I've forgotten how the incident ended.

70% of online yugioh games are ragequits from what I've read so far. Is there anyone who has dignity in this game anymore to not get upset over a game designed to be fun? It's like when I play Super Smash 64 with my buds and they all get pissed cause I'm better. Same in yugioh, if you're better, you're just looked down upon the majority, which are people who are unoriginal or don't know how to play/build.

And not for cheating, like the button was intended for, always because my opponent was butthurt over losing. -- Summoned Skull 2: Electric Boogaloo  04:55, February 3, 2012 (UTC)

Oooooh this one is fresh of the press. Now who knows maybe I'm wrong (mostly the activation of a trap...never tried it like I did in unrated but figured I could) but I'm pretty certain I am not. Haven't used it in a while but I tried an old defense OTK out in unrated. Faced some dragon deck, oh no 1st turn Future Fusion, I got 1st turn Dark Bribe so it was k. Some crap later they get out REDMD and Prime out and set mirror. They attack a face down Stone Statue of the Aztecs and during the damage step I activate D2 Shield.

They claim that the battle damage doubled is effect damage. I tell them how dumb that sounds (yeah here's the part where I may be wrong but if so...urgh). After they say they would call admin but can't and some arguing later I just go. Annoyed I play Gear Golem the Moving Fortress, activate another D2, activate my set Inverse Universe, now I attack directly and AGAIN they say that is effect damage so they heal by 4400. I insulted them so much and ragequitted. I'm just going with the logic that if that is effect damage then a Limiter Removal otk is effect damage too which is all sorts of nonsense. 96.249.204.41 (talk) 05:50, February 3, 2012 (UTC)

Also just to go along with the topic at hand, I don't really ragequit, even in unrated, but I was facing dragons all day so I was astounded when this happened; the person was 1400/1300 too which made my spine crawl. I faced someone with 131/96 after that was far more compotent to me. Again...maybe I'm wrong about something I did but usually I play the deck slower then this becuase well it's slow. 96.249.204.41 (talk) 05:59, February 3, 2012 (UTC)

Dueled a guy today, 60 card deck, some straaange form of synchros. After several turns of normal summoning on their part (they had a 1900 DEF monster to start off with and I wasn't drawing into any bigger monsters), they synchro for black rose, I warning, they re-summon the cards used and I had to explain why they were the cost of the summon, after about 5 minutes he finally accepted it. Another guy, can't remember what he was playing, tried to negate my heavy storm with his MST. When I finally got through to him he said "Ok, we'll play by your rules", I asked him what rules he was playing, he didn't respond. Same guy, I summoned BLS and attacked his monster then attacked again, he said "You can't attack twice with a card", I said to read the card, "I did, you can't attack twice", I copied the text "Fine, we'll play by your rules again cheater". I told him to feel free to call an admin, he didn't. I was wtfing at how someone could be so stupid, right before I won (attacking with BLS with Monster Reborn, Dark hole and Chaos Sorc in hand so I had it covered anyway), he said "Interesting, your entire plays are based around one cheap card" then quit.58.169.180.226 (talk) 10:16, February 3, 2012 (UTC)

Fun fact - that's the worst it's gotten for me. Most of the people on Duel Network I've played are at least competent, save for the occasional guy who misplays Solemn Warning and thinks it can negate anything, when it's only built to stop Special Summons - and that's happened a few times, believe me. Fortunately, they always recant it if you explain the misplay to them. Lord Grammaticus (talk • contribs) 12:35, February 3, 2012 (UTC)

Here's one. I negate the summoning of a monster with Solemn Warning, and then he chains book of moon to the solemn warning to set his monster who's summon I negated. I tried to explain to him for 10 minutes that counter traps can only be countered by other counter traps. I showed him the link to the wiki which explains that, and an admin told him the same thing and he still refused to listen. I thought this was going nowhere so I played along [he was losing badly, he was using inzektor, I was using E.Hero (I know, hard to believe)]. I won in the end, but the joke was that BOTH his rating and experience were over 1000, so you'd think he would know something as simple as that. He wanted a rematch, but I told him no because of how stubborn he was, and he was one of those people where even if you take just 10 seconds to think, he gets frustrated and says hurry or quit. Neos01 (talk • contribs) 12:45, February 4, 2012 (UTC)

I was dueling this guy and I used Solemn Warning on Shi En. He then sent it to his Graveyard and proceeded to Monster Reborn it. I told him that "The Summon was negated so it's as if it wasn't summoned properly and you can't use Monster Reborn". He didn't understand what Semi-Nomi was so I gave him links and explained it at least 5 times: If you negate the summon of a Semi-Nomi Monster then it can't be Special Summoned by an effect. He then returned it to his Extra Deck and Synchro Summoned to make it again - I told him that no, he could not do that, and he was so confused...it was really annoying. BF2 Talk  Deck Guides 13:17, February 4, 2012 (UTC)

This is such a great topic. I was confused about the Semi-Nomi rulings for about 2 years though, but then I got the hang of it. To this day, I don't know all the rulings, but I always come to the wiki to double-check on something. Also, this one time, I fought a guy and he synchro summoned without using tuners.

 * I was in same page as you are, Adam; till "Solemn Warning" came it became clearly. And week later from my duel with Helios Blaze; he still refused to accept the difference of Summons and told me to move on. That leaned me to thinking it's little ironic; He didn't change and said he "already move on" while I did changed and complete support with anything included here and there. Also he tried to report me to Admins about me being annoy him for this kind of rulings and I am complete safe from bothering him because most of Admins are on my side since because of Summon difference. :\ -- F  r  e  d  C  a  t  18:02, February 4, 2012 (UTC)

I had no idea BLS was now Semi-Nomi, I'll need to call that ruling from now on. But I've still had way too many people try to Monster Reborn a previously milled BLS. Then they give the usual angered response to my reasoning. And in other news, I just played a guy who normal summoned a Jurai Gumo, then "special summoned" his Summoned Skull by tributing some dragon. When I explained what a tribute summon actually is, he quit. I think it might've been rated too, but I can't say for sure. Djjomon (talk • contribs) 21:55, February 4, 2012 (UTC)

It has always been a Semi-Nomi, it's just that the wording makes it a bit more clear now. I don't usually talk on the wikia's forums but I like this topic and have been following it since it was created (I actually felt a little insulted when they bashed the Summoned Skull display for obvious reasons). But I'd like to add that there's a difference between the idiots (stubborn individuals who will not listen to reason) and people who make mistakes, I mean, we all have made mistakes at one time or the other. Plus, after reading this I'm a bit worried, since I usually play billy decks or "fun decks" in Dueling Network in unrated (I don't want to lower my rank just because I play for fun) my rank is very low and I'm starting to fear I'll end up playing with people who don't know their rulings, which I do, since this card game is one my favorite hobbies. I'd like to know what you guys think about this and would like to add some people to Dueling Network (same name "Ultimate Fiend"). Maybe that'll help me get my rank a bit higher.

To keep on the general topic, I was playing a Koa'ki Meriu (mostly rock stun but it has a little bit more) and faced some...Necroface mill deck? I helped them by letting them knw that if thier monster is banished by thier own Future Visions will I got Drago out then it still will come onto the field. They weren't an idiot but just saying it again to stay on the general topic.

That was just a sterotype I've seen in regards to the summoned skull icon, others can break it as I'd expect but I just haven't seen it. I like mah billy decks because more then half of them are based on a novel I'm writing and I got a stupid My Life as a Teenage Robot deck (need moar Inzektors to come out for teh bad guys, too many faries fo sho.)

Hmmmm I don't know how to keep information private here. I'll speak of one to get an idea. There's a Silent Swordsman/Dark Lucius main focus of a deck; about a swordsclan where the obvious one killed off most of the family which happen to be ninjas and the bad guy has a demon represented by The End of Anubis (it traps souls away for it's own power, like locking the graveyard, also sorta looks like what I had in mind) sealed in his weapon. Good guy is vengeful, protecting his sister if she's in trouble and bad guy is clumsy (Lucius's conditions are pretty lousy :p). I figured eh I'll try and get the full lockdown with the deck so there's Decree and stuff in it just for that.

He then proceeds to mill 3 cards, saying it was flipped cause when it's destroyed the card is flipped face up. He pulls out rulings from here telling me to read the paragraph about flip effects to which I point out to him "read the last sentence" which stated facedown flip effects destroyed via card effect are not flipped.

I played a number of people that don't even read their own cards' effect. One person completely ignored the effect of my Blast Sphere that destroys their monster on their standby phase, and just went to Synchro summoning with that very same monster of theirs. There was this other person that thought I couldn't activated my card effects at all as long as they had Winged Dragon of Ra out on the field (it was past their turn, by the way). He/She wasn't being a jerk about it as far as I can tell, but that person still needs to look at the ruling. A more recent person I played against activated Threatening Roar when I already declared an attack, and said they had no time for jokes when I explained things to them (I gave them plenty of time to activate it before then).

This guy I fought about an hour ago, claimed I take damage from his monster (whom had lower ATK), when I used "Blackwing Kalut, the Moon Shadow" to increase my other Blackwings attack.

I target myself, switch to Defense, and go to draw 2. He tells me to wait because I'm cheating again, then a full two minutes later uses Solemn Warning on my Nishipachi, fine. I'll take it. I play Karakuri Cash Chache and proceed to really piss him off through a search and a +1. From here he tells me to play fast (in rated of course).

True but when you activate the effect you can say you target your own monster, and avoid the confusion altogether.

Not everyone is going to be an expert on how the game works. I play the game in spurts. Usually once a year I will get a bug up my butt and play against my friends for a month straight, then I will be done with the game until some random time like a year later. By then, things have changed a lot and my decks get slaughtered by the newest fad. Sorry, but I think insulting those who are unable to keep up with the revolving door of rules is wrong. Just because you eat, sleep, play off this game does not mean all of your opponents do. Add on top that sometimes you have a brain fart of the effects of certain cards you just looked at, or you are unfamiliar as to how your opponent's card works (and get confused as to how a set of moves they did were possible). The game is meant to be played for fun regardless of whether you are in a tournament or just playing with friends. Insulting someone over it is childish.

Here's a fun story from a few days ago. I was on DN using my Alien deck, my opponent was using Greed Burn. It was a short way into the match. It was my turn, I flipped both of my face-down Alien Greys to get rid of a Thunder King so I could Synchro Summon my Hyper Librarian. I do that and end my turn with W Nebula Meteorite. The arguement that followed.

First of all, I couldn't get it through his head that W-Nebula Meteorite could be used on non-Worm monsters. I spent 6 minutes arguing with him about it before he finally accepted what was written on the card. After that, he kept on flipping his arguement from I shouldn't be able to use it to flip my Greys or that the Meteorite should flip my Librarian face-down, even though Librarian wasn't a LIGHT Reptile. If that wasn't enough, he wouldn't flip up his face-down monster. I copied down the first lines of Meteorite and he still wouldn't believe me. He finally rage-quit.

I remember a duel in DN, i dueled someone who used a synchro summon deck, he/she tried to synchro summon black rose dragon with 2 level 4 monsters, i asked him/her what he/she is doing, the response was this "I Tribute Summon, know the rules" and then (surprise) he/she quit, i just send a p.m. with the synchro summon link and an explain and that's all. An other time someone tried to summon Trishula with 3 tuners specifically Naturia Cherries(i had destroy 1 by battle the previous turn, so in his/her turn he/she summoned back the lost cherries or summon other level 3(i dont remember verFy well) flip the other 2 and then sync, when i explained how synchro summon works he/she just quit no complains nothing :p Dark Magician Vampire (talk • contribs) 01:01, February 15, 2012 (UTC)

Here's one of the biggest noobs.I had all 3 of my evolzars on the field.I attacked his face down monster and he revealed it to be a glad beast.I figured he had misclicked until he returned it to the deck and said tag.I then lost 20 mins of my life trying to say it WASN'T THE END OF THE BATTLE PHASE.An admin finally appeared and I was getting my rating in the next 30 seconds. Evolution is the key (talk • contribs) 07:14, February 15, 2012 (UTC)Evolution is the key

Here's a major blooper I just had in the last hour:


 * >dueling guy called suckmyball
 * >due to bad hands, I set 3 face-downs (MST, Mirror Force, I forget the last one) and have a Card Trader active
 * >on his turn, he uses Card Destruction, forcing me to discard Solidarity and REDMD
 * >he then uses Dark World Lightning to target my face-down MST
 * >I chain and use said MST to destroy his Gates of Dark World
 * >I notice he doesn't discard for Dark World Lightning
 * >I call him on it, honestly not knowing that he's in the right (which I didn't realize until later)
 * >He calls an admin basically going 'omg I can't believe I have to explain this'
 * >the admin explains that he doesn't discard for Lightning
 * >and then bans him for having an inappropriate name.
 * >except not immediately, he has 1 minute to start making a new account. not joking.
 * >after the admin leaves, the guy Normal Summons Broww and Special Summons Grapha via his effect
 * >he attacks, and I activate the face-down Mirror Force I had set
 * >cue ragequit

And then when I PM the same admin later, I finally learned that the discard doesn't happen since it didn't/couldn't destroy anything (which I then saw was verified on the Rulings page for that card).

That is literally the worst way I've won a duel in my life, and I feel amazingly stupid because of it. <_>

But hey, at least I learned something from it! I guess.

If he used a card to destroy your MST, how would you be able to use MST to destroy a different card of his when he just destroyed yours first?

Kain it was most likely a chain. Evolution is the key (talk • contribs) 06:59, February 16, 2012 (UTC)Evolution is the key

How the Dark World Lightning vs Mystical Space Typhoon works is they activate DWL on your facedown MST, you can then chain your MST to the activation and now that MST is no longer facedown they can't discard with DWL as that's part of the effect, if it was a cost it wouldn't work on Dark Worlds.121.222.228.13 (talk) 07:49, February 16, 2012 (UTC)

Indeed Kain, when you target a card you can then activate the card if possible creating a chain, in this case he activated MST and targeted Gates of Dark World. The chain then worked backwards so the MST went first, being the last card activated, and destroyed the Gates of Dark World. Then the Dark World Lighting could no longer resolve as there was no longer a card to destroy as the MST had already gone to the graveyard, so because no card was destroyed he didn't need to discard. That about sums it up.--The FireFALL (talk • contribs) 07:53, February 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * It wouldn't have gone to the graveyard yet. Cards aren't sent to the graveyard until the whole chain is fully resolved. DWL couldn't destroy MST because it was now face-up. Normally, the whole cards not being sent until the chain is over thing isn't a big deal. But with DWL it can be. Because remember, if a targeted Continuous Trap card is chained, DWL can't destroy that either. It's important to know exactly how things like this work. --> Summoned Skull 2: Electric Boogaloo 08:50, February 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * FireFall and Skull explained it perfectly. See, I was aware of the inability to destroy the card, but I didn't know that it'd prevent the effect completing until well after the fact. Lord Grammaticus (talk • contribs) 14:06, February 16, 2012 (UTC)

I have met a total idiot and jerk on dueling network: 1-He thought Spear Cretin 's effect activates immediately. 2- He thought that Goblin Attack Force changes to ATK automatically itself DURING THE END PHASE OF HIS NEXT TURN. 3- He controlled a Lord of D. in ATK and a Blue-eyes in ATK and attacked with the dragon, i activated Mirror Force, he said only his lord of d. would be destroyed because HE THINKS MIRROR FORCES TARGETS HIS BLUE-EYES AND NEGATES HIS ATTACK, AND THAT HIS LORD OF D. Protected his blue-eyes from being targeted, while EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT MIRROR FORCE DOES NOT TARGET! THAT IDIOT AND JERK TOLD ME TO "Learn how to f****ng play the game", to me, a duelist with years of knowledge and experience.

 * I meant cards that are in the chain won't go to the grave until the chain is done resolving. Obviously anything destroyed during the chain goes immediately. Just thought that what I said before wasn't clear enough about that. --> Summoned Skull 2: Electric Boogaloo 08:52, February 16, 2012 (UTC)

I dueled a guy who thinks that any card effect can be used on any turn unless it states otherwise, even ignition effects like Breaker the Magical Warrior or continuous spell effects like arcane barrier (He sent it to the grave for its effect on my turn). I tried to explain to that effects like that must be used in your main phase, then he said I was crap and that I should learn how to play, then he rage quitted. Just to see if he was just be difficult, I watched 3 of his duels afterwards and all 3 of his opponents said the same thing. I PM'd him saying "who's crap now noob?" then he immediately logged off.

That doesn't make sense to me though. He used the dark lightning card before MST was placed face up, did he not? How could you then move MST face up if he had already attacked that specific card?

See, it's the little things like this that I do not understand or even know about until they occur, and then when they do, my opponent stares at me wonder what is going on when I have this perplexed look upon my face.

And yet he proceeds to put her to hand and SS Dark from his deck. I try to tell him that Light is not returned to his hand as she is unaffected by S/T this turn, but he doesn't listen and starts blabbing "Card effects that activate in hand while on field" or something like that. I patiently explain to him that Light's effect cant activate because compulsory doesn't work but he does something like this:

Someone first trying to trap hole (not bottomless) my quickdraw synchron (atk=700, and it was special summoned), after explaining he can't do that, he tries to trap hole my normal summoned lonefire blossom (atk = 500). And still that turn, he tries to trap hole Junk Destroyer, claiming that a synchro summon isn't a special summon. He made a lot of other mistakes as well, such as using white dragon ritual to summon paladin from his deck. using future fusion and sending blue eyes from his hand, and more.

 * He can chain his Maxx "C" to you removing to summon Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning. I'm not exactly sure how starting chains works but from what I can gather if they have to do something before the summon (as in mill, target, reveal, banish) you can chain to it, this hasn't been wrong so far.

To Kain, you can use any card legal both in the tcg and ocg for free whatever you desire, updates can be a little slow at times but it's not too bad to tend with. Today I just faced one of those silly egyptian god people that don't know what they are doing, from not knowing they can't summon one right after thier normal summon (they used The Agent of Creation - Venus to get enough out, it was amusing) to thinking thier god (Slifer) is immune to everything when I used Royco cup a soup.

You can set up a room by interacting with the yellow box in the duel room, hope someone joins you and then you accept them, or you can click on any name in any of the three boxes and hope they accept you; it's not too complicated. Oh and also just a funny tidbit, becausenext format will be wind-up and Inzecktor infested, I tried out my wind-up with a troll side deck; someone used Maxx "C" against my handloop early on. I play Serial Spell and Card Destruction for game. Raunchous laughter abound. 96.249.204.41 (talk) 07:09, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

Make a deck under "Deck Constructor", make sure that it has at least 40 cards and has no banned cards, it lets you put banned cards in because of Traditional. Then click "Duel Room", choose your deck under "Deck", make sure your mode is on "Duel" and pick who you want to duel. Rated means you get Rating and Experience, Non rated is for people who are just testing decks or just don't want their Rating/Experience to rise/lower. If you want to duel a certain person or people only above/under a certain Rating/Experience you can change that under "Filter/Sort". You can also host a duel (meaning instead of you picking an opponent an opponent picks you, you can decline though ofcourse). I think that's all. Duels are simple, it isn't automatic (except drawing) so you have to do all the plays yourself. If they're cheating or you're having a ruling dispute that the wiki doesn't answer, press "Call Admin", it may take a while because at peak times it can get as bad or worse than 1 admin per 1000 people. If you lose press "Admit Defeat", don't forget that one lol. If you have any troubles feel free to ask your opponent or someone else.121.222.228.13 (talk) 07:20, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

Dr Kain (talk • contribs) 08:05, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

If you suck on DN chances are you aren't that great or you went up against the hardcore meta decks. Rabbit, Inzektors and Wind-Ups are used quite often there, especially Rabbit since not as many can play them in real life due to costs. It's the same as real life except there's no reading your opponent from how they're acting. I'd suggest use an easy and/or good deck to start out with and not a Nordic deck until you get used to it since you're likely to make more mistakes.121.222.228.13 (talk) 08:24, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

I think he was just really good because he could counter almost everything I played. He stopped Odin's resurrection ability with Light & Darkness Dragon, had an Enemy Controller ready every time I had used a Creature Swap, and then Card Destructioned me. On the other hand, my mistake was using Solemn Judgment far too quickly into the game just to try to keep my monsters from being destroyed, but it was hard not to use it when he managed to pull out like 3 dragons in one turn.

BTW, what do the numbers mean? Like I dueled a guy wtih 1071/254.

This was the first time I ever got to play with someone using Ancient Gear Golem, so I was completely unfamiliar with its effect.

I guess he felt he could not compete against that, which is a shame because there is no way to know until the LP reaches 0.

So, he insults me and says I should learn to play Dark Worlds (he was running Dino Rabbit and couldn't even run THAT correctly). So, I say "FU, you gon learn today". He calls an admin like a predictable noob. So, I post the rulings link, and the exact sentence that proved I was right.

I created a Samurai deck because I am thinking about building one, but I do not want to put my money towards the ridiculous cost of some of the cards unless I know for sure they are going to work for me. My problem is, I do not want people blowing me off because it will be my first time using the deck, so I will be moving very slowly between choosing my cards and trying out different techniques instead of trying to speed through the duel.

I told him I did, then he said Aset dragon's level won't increase because it's not a hieroglyph.

Well I just had a not really a match against some dude named mrtwallz, who was a complete ass. He goes first, using a card that lets himself get 1200LP, then uses a monster card that lets him send cards to the graveyard for 3000 points each, he sends 3 cards to the graveyard and goes down to 200LP. Then he uses another magic card that lets him guess the type on the top card on his deck, and if he is right, we switch our LPs. So he guesses magic, which happened to be on the top of his deck, bam, he gets 9200LP from me, I get -1200, and he wins. That was utter ********!!!!

Man, this is just not my night, I have had the opponent of the following 3 games quit on me the moment I pulled up either Odin, Thor, or Mist Wurm. -_-

Then I get a game where nothing but the magic and trap cards that do not summon my monsters emerge in every draw. Finally, I get a guy who uses nothing but magic and trap cards that forces you to loose LP instead of actually dueling. He uses a trap card that makes it so whenever the opponent were to increase LP, it is taken as damaged, then he pulls that magic card where you gain 1000LP for him to draw a card, the he uses two trap cards where you flip a coin and heads is gained 2000 and tails is lose 2000, so no matter what, I lose 2000. Finally, he uses two trap cards that take 200 damage for each card on my field and in my hand. These people on this DN thing are cheap and I think I am done with it.

No, it was two trap cards. You flip a coin, if you get heads, you gain 2000 LP, if you flip tails, you lose 2000LP. He used two of those, which is where the 4000LP came from.

I don't know about that, but he sent 3 Ultimate BEWD cards to the graveyard from his extra deck to take 9000 LP away from him.

Yep, that Bad Reaction card is indeed what he used. I wouldn't have even been able to use Seven Tools or Dark Bribe because he pulled a trap that blocks countertraps from being used.

I don't mind everyone have a different deck style, but when it happens to you several times in a row, there is a problem. I never got to actually play. They never even bothered to duel a second round so I can pull out stuff from my side deck. What is the point of a side deck if people are too chicken to duel a second round? Essentially I spent and hour and a half waiting to play the game. What is the point of playing a card game if you are not actually going to play the card game? What is the fun of beating a person before they even get to their first or second turn? Why bother "playing" the game if all you care about is winning? People like that are assholes and they are no better than those worthless professional sports players that whine if they don't make X millions of dollars a year.

BTW, with that deck the guy used, how can you actually summon Lava Golem? Wouldn't have to have like two Creature Swap cards or something to take control of your opponents monsters?

Anyway, I will say this, I have been inspired to create my own "Bitch Move Deck" as I call it. I will hardly use it, but if I ever run into those people again on the DN, I will be sure to use that deck against them.

It could just be me but the only thing I find a problem are the Inzecters. Have only faced one and that was on DN but there's plenty irl and dn I've faced wind-ups and dino rabbit with, though I think I'm just lucky because I tend to get to go first more often then not and set backrow everywhere to avoid hand destruction...or draw into veiler quickly. After that wind ups are just a bunch of beatsticks...pffft my defense otk has so many consecutive wins with that match up it's not even funny...I find the Laggia stuff iconsistant (yes they can first turn what they want easily) but there are so many things that can besided against them if you took the timeto think of it. Gozen Match/Rivalry of Warlords (enough decks make them reasonable) won't let them get very far for example, though I do say anything they do before you can't stop easily so I digress. I probably sound stuckup too which annoys me lol...173.75.82.74 (talk) 19:39, February 21, 2012 (UTC)

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, I guess that means I should stop going second, because even when I win the toss up to go first or second, I usually prefer second, especially if I am using my Nordic deck just in case I manage to get Valkyrie in my first hand.

Dr Kain (talk • contribs) 20:20, February 21, 2012 (UTC)

Definitely go first, unless your deck really requires a 2nd turn play, consistently. And also, just played a guy who tried to Summon Chain Dog from hand, by it's own effect. He then proceeded to synchro a level 5 monster with what looked like 7 levels total. When I called him out on the Chain Dog ruling he told me "read eff". I spat back at him "you read eff." So he admitted defeat and quit. At least I got the unrated win? Djjomon (talk • contribs) 02:06, February 22, 2012 (UTC)

Sadly, and I hate to admit it because I love my Nordic deck and put some money into a few months ago, you are right, it probably will be left in the dust like dinosaurs and the original insects because it was at the tail end of the anime that just ended and is not the big thing in the new anime. Pretty much now it seems like it has to be a main archtype in the anime for them to even bother doing support cards these days.

With that said, two things come to my mind:

1. Would you say then that instead of running 2x Odin and 2x Thor I should have some XYZ monsters in it? Like, I have Leviathan Dragon, Illumina Knight, Utopia, and Wind-Up Zenmaister in my case with my Nordic cards as like a Side Deck to my Extra Deck.

2. Should I then just create an Inzektor or Wind-Up deck then? Should I not even bother trying to build a Samurai deck? As that seems to be where the game is headed for those types for the next several years? I mean, I perfer the card types that are based on mythology, but apperantly getting excited over them is pointless now because they will not be supported.

Dr Kain, I would suggest a Six Samurai deck as they're doing quite well lately with the banlist helping them and recent cards helping them even more. They're meta at the moment, infact they were #1 at YCS Gasdfhasjdfhasjfah (mexican city I can't remember the name of). That being said Inzektors are getting quite a lot of support too. I saw a deck that didn't aim to use hornet (still uses it though), but performed the loop with Inzektor Gruf to make a Rank 5 which works quite well. But before you start buying stuff test them on DuelingNetwork to see what you want to play. Be wary though, Six Samurai, Inzektors and Wind-Ups get the "Oh look it's THAT deck" treatment.123.211.144.181 (talk) 13:30, February 22, 2012 (UTC)

Well what can people expect when those are the only decks outside of dragons (which I am tired of seeing) that are getting support. Like I said, I love my Fairy decks, but they are useless against the cards of today. And if Nordics aren't going to get more support, they are going to become useless real quick too. :-(

I just dueled somebody who claims that Spell Cards don't have effects. Figure that out. * I had the Malefic World Field Spell Card out, and Malefic Stardust Dragon. He plays, I forget exactly what, but I think it was Mystical Space Typhoon? He targets Malefic World, I explain that Malefic Stardust Dragon protects Field Spells from destruction from any card effect, and his reply was "he protects from card effects not spell cards. omg get rid of it" After five minutes of explaining that yes, trying to destroy with MST is in fact a effect, he decides to call an admin, who tells him that yes, Malefic World can't be destroyed. He was really nice about it after it was irrevocably proven and I wasn't mad or anything, but it was still a huge fail. PHASE (talk • contribs) 05:03, February 24, 2012 (UTC)

I would love to hear more insight on what that means, the spells having no effect thing, that's probably one of the silliest things mentioned here yet. Nothing too great for me to say other than I don't like explaining the Watt lockdown to people every duel I use them. It can't be that hard to understand can it?

This annoyed me a good degree. So I'm facing some sort of burn deck. They summon a rabbit at some point, I question what kind of burn deck would use that but anyways I SJ it. They have Dark Room of Nightmare on the field. They claim that the life points I paid is actually damage so I have to take another 300. After some arguing, in a couple more turns they get out another rabbit. I just let them do thier thing. They proceed to get out Fire Trooper AND Card Car D. I just stared at the screen for a while in hopes it was some weird misclick and proceeded to link them to one of those Jackie Chan image macros when they were serious about the choice...the guy was 1300+/800ish, how do people get away with stuff like this?

Also in some random unrated duel a guy using Naturia said that Naturia Horneedle and Naturia Mantis negated summons, eh at least it wasn't one of those mst=negate scenarios. He did use needle's effect once by tributing a face down Cherry...which he can't do...and tried using needle's effect against Trag...eh I'll give them the benefit of the doubt about horneedle's effect. Though at some point they had a full front and backrow, at that point I was trying to win by setting Arcana Force 0 - The Fool whenever I could, they tried sending a monster to the grave for no reason to make room for a tuner at some point and I had to mention you can't just do that too...me winning by deckout was terribly stupid. 173.75.82.74 (talk) 22:17, February 24, 2012 (UTC)

While we are talking about rulings, I have a question. If your opponent controls Prime Material Dragon and you have Bad Reaction to Simochi on the field, doesn't Simochi negate PMD's effect of turning LP damage into LP gain, thus, making it so when they gain LP, they are still losing them?

Dr Kain (talk • contribs) 06:54, February 25, 2012 (UTC)

I hope you realize most cards have a Rulings page. But for convenience: Player A has Bad Reaction to Simochi. Player B has Prime Material Dragon. Player A activates Sparks, PMD reverses it so it's +200, BRtS reverses it back to -200. Player A activates Gift Card, BRtS reverses it into -3000, PMD changes it back to +3000. 123.211.144.181 (talk) 09:37, February 25, 2012 (UTC)

Yes, but the rulings never told me the exact answer I was asking for. Plus, the rulings are weird, as some are under TGC and others under OGC, and from my understanding, we are not OCG.

Dr Kain (talk • contribs) 08:12, February 26, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah... I had a Dark Simorgh out on the field and I had no backrow. My opponent has only one face down backrow and no monsters. I attacked directly and he then activated his face-down MST. I asked him what was his target since there was no there target and he said he targets his MST on itself... Then he special Summoned Gorz. I still won, but worse part about it is that he was in the 1200's... So many inexperienced players on DN nowadays...--俺はダルク 09:45, February 26, 2012 (UTC)EnvoyDharc

 * If "Dian Keto the Cure Master" is activated while both "Prime Material Dragon" and "Bad Reaction to Simochi" are on the field, "Bad Reaction to Simochi" turns the effect into an effect which inflicts damage, but then "Prime Material Dragon" turns the effect into an effect which recovers Life Points. "Dian Keto the Cure Master" will recover 1000 LP.
 * If "Ookazi" is activated while both "Prime Material Dragon" and "Bad Reaction to Simochi" are on the field, "Prime Material Dragon" turns the effect into an effect which recovers Life Points, but then "Bad Reaction to Simochi" turns the effect into an effect which deals damage.

Speaking on the subject of Inzektors and Wind-Ups, I do not think I am going to get into either of those types. I was thinking about it, even created decks on DN, but after looking at the prices those cards are going for on ebay, no thank you. $30 for a card I am going to play with is not worth it to me, especially when I would need about 20 of them that cost more equal or greater than that. I'll stick to my Nordic and Samurai (which seemed to do quite well last night for my first time using them) decks. I mean, if it were one card, I could see myself going to the $20-25, but when it is an entire set of cards for deck, uh... no.

 * That's what happens when a deck goes tier 0 or 1 the minute they come out and the banlist doesn't touch them, Wind-Up Zenmaines is a good $100. I could be wrong (I wasn't playing at the time so this is from other people), in the teledad format Dark Armed Dragon was going for a good $300.
 * If I were you I'd stick to Six Samurai's as they're definitely meta right now, so they're a decent deck, and they're getting quite a lot of support with Xyz's and a little support with the banlist.

Ok going back on topic. So I'm messing around with Cloudians in rated. I happen to face someone using Sacreds (I think they changed it to Stellar now, I'm not sure if that's offical) for maybe half the duel I have 2 meklords and 2 Cloudian - Nimbusman in my hand, fun. Anyways so after them not reading that Sacred Schet can copy monsters on thier side of the field and wasting 2 mst on traps despite setting Decree right after, they summon Sacred Omega. I have Sky Sanctuary and only one Cloudian - Cirrostratus on the field (it's been there for the whole duel, getting bounced every turn it could.) They detach a material to try and make thier monsters unaffected by the field spell. There were quite a few things wrong with that, I'm pretty certain it doesn't work like that. Anyways I eventually get them to scoop when I summon Catasator. I'm just glad that when I had 3 cloudians they never summoned Sacred Hyades, because they had many chances to. 173.75.82.74 (talk) 18:16, March 7, 2012 (UTC)


 * As far as I can tell they can detach from Sacred Omega to make it so their sacreds aren't effected by field spells. But since it was Sanctuary of the Sky that wouldn't do anything as it's your monsters being effected by the spell.

I don't know, it is tough running a side deck that is limited to 15 cards to match all deck types. Heck, it is even tougher deciding inbetween matches what to switch with. It's like, "Hmmmmmmmmmmmm, is it a good idea to side Kageki and Enishi for Cyberdragon? Would I regret siding magatama for mirror?"

So I am confused here, I had Landoise on the field and my opponent summoned Rescue Rabbit. I used Landoise's effect to negate Rabbit, and after I threw my spell card into the graveyard, my opponent said it is negated and continued with Rabbit's effect. How is that even possible? I negated his effect.

Dr Kain (talk • contribs) 08:55, March 10, 2012 (UTC)

Rabbit being banished is a cost not an effect. They can still pay costs but the effect can't activate, since the cost is payed and Rabbits effect now activates off the field, its effect is only negated whilst it's on the field. Feel free to correct me people, I'm not perfect with rulings. 123.211.144.181 (talk) 11:52, March 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * Also Rabbit should explode into piece like in Team Fortress 2. But yea, he got away by Cost and can't pull the shit out of his dorm. -- F  r  e  d  C  a  t  11:54, March 10, 2012 (UTC)

I got to be honest yeah it's kinda annoying when someone doesn't know a ruling but you can look that stuff up. What is really annoying is when you show them a ruling and their response is but is "But in this video game it's done like this".

Any one else think that the video games make the game harder to learn (The older ones that is, the newer ones have less glitches and are more accurate).

As for the rabbit ruling I looked that one up when someone tried to veiler mine on DN yeah it sucks that costs can be used to your advantage like that...

Shinkirou 14:02, March 10, 2012 (UTC)

With Veiler vs Rabbit the issue is really about Priority, as if you retain player Priority to use Rabbit's effect it will no longer be on field during the resolution of the chain with Veiler but if you don't and they use Veiler, Rabbit will remain negated. As for Landoise, it can negate Rabbit's effect and Rabbit stays Banished. BF2 Talk  Deck Guides 15:31, March 10, 2012 (UTC)

Well my point was this guy couldn't do a thing against me because his only chance to stop me was blocked by the fact that I have to pay a "Cost". Since Prio isn't really problem for the OCG in this case rabbit might seem a bit more weak but I happen to like prio as it is in the TCG.

Shinkirou 16:18, March 10, 2012 (UTC)

So should Landoise have stopped him from being able to summon the monsters that let him summon Evole Loggia?

I mean, I have no reason to say he is a liar, but I am just trying to understand how my card did not block his effect.

Dr Kain (talk • contribs) 16:22, March 10, 2012 (UTC)

I don't know the answer as the effects are kinda different (one has to activate after the effect is used as a response) that and I dont know if landoise can negate of the field. So you would need to ask in the rulings section.

Just got a real stinker today. He was using his Gusto Gulldo and Treeborn Frog to synchro summon his Gusto Falcos. Then he attempted to use the effect of said Gusto Gulldo. When I tried to explain timing to him, he insisted that it didn't constitute missing the timing because it was a Synchro Summon and missing the timing only happened with Tribute Summons.

He then claimed Ra negated all other cards on the field, it couldn't be affected by anything, and that he wins. Since I already spent about 30 something turns on this, I was reluctant to leave and I actually dragged an ADMIN all the way to our duel (in unrated) and it was just lol. I won with 50000 life.

I dueled a guy on the dueling network using my lightsworn deck (I was using it, not him) and he had a really high rating and at one point i summoned a trishula when i had the oppertunity to summon two level five synchros instead, and he said i was a noob for doing that and then he ragequit, before i could say anything. hours after i had left duel, I was looking back on it and i realized that using a certain combo, that same turn i could have also summoned a level five synchro along with the trishula, but neither of us realized it at the time, so HE was the noob, not me

the thing i hate the most in ragequitting is when you have a perfect setup and when the opponent ragequits you might have no chances for such setups.i dueled a six sam guy who was as total noob. i had a DAD and an armor master second turn when i was about to blow up his six sam united with DAD he ragequits LG talk My own Guides 07:40, March 19, 2012 (UTC)

I just got a real winner. I go first, like a boss. I play Gateway of the Six, and start spamming Sams. I remove four counters to search out Kizan. My opponent says some crap about how Gateway goes to the grave when you use one of its effects (trololo). Then calls me a cheater and says "no wonder your rating is so low (his was lower, and 840/1590 is relatively high for so early in the format). I explain to him that he's wrong in the least polite way I could. I find out he's using Reptilliannes, so I was pretty excited about my free win. So, he summons Worm Xex (chaos Reptilliannes?) and mills Yagan. He tries to summon Yagan face down with monsters other than Xex out. I ended up attaching a face-down Yagan at some point and he felt the need to quote its entire effect in the chat like I'm illiterate or something. Later, he overlayed Reptilianne Gardna with Kycoo for Utopia, which I Solemn Judgment. So, he tries to search for Gardna (only gets effect when destroyed). I tell him no and he does it anyways and gets Vaskii. He then tribute Naga for Vaskii and I ended up saying "You are a cheater! And you try to accuse me of cheating?" So he takes back the summon, but not the search (cause he's a cheater). He tried to drop it again next turn but I Warning'd it. So, he ragequit soon after that.

Knowing I was going to synchro summon, the guy plays Veiler... I let it though then synchro. My opponent tells me Veiler negated the tuner's effect to be a tuner.

I went to locals earlier and participated in the 2 on 2 tourney. I teamed up with with some guy running really bad HEROes. He was doing something with the deck that was very against the rules, and I'm mad at myself for not realizing it until round 3 of the first match. He was using Prisma to copy the names of specific E-HEROes, so they could be in the grave for Miracle Fusion. Cool, awesome, whatevs. When he summoned Prisma in round 3, I realized something was wrong, so I told him, "don't you dare activate that effect until I look at your Extra Deck!". Sure enough, there were no fusion that take specific HEROes, only ones that require things like "1 E-HERO + insert attribute here". Prisma cannot copy "1 Elemental Hero monster". Prisma cannot copy "insert attribute here monster". He had no legal things to send for Prisma. He had been unknowingly cheating for the whole match, and since he built the deck. It wasn't like he was purposely doing it for cheap wins, he had no idea. But, if you're going to run a deck, it's helpful to look for as many rulings that apply to your deck as you can. And, in my opinion, the Prisma thing should be common sense. Obviously, it says copy the name, not copy the type/attribute. And, it's already an E-HERO, so why would it be able to copy an E-HERO? Ugh, it just irked me so much!.

tl;dr My tag team partner today inadvertently cheated with Elemental HERO Prisma and I wished I had picked a more knowledgeable partner. --> Summoned Skull 2: Electric Boogaloo 02:23, March 26, 2012 (UTC)

I'm guessing he thought it was similar to Future Fusion? And if he had the fusions in his extra deck that'd be a good combo. Elemental HERO Mariner/Elemental HERO Steam Healer for Bubbleman Elemental HERO Terra Firma for Ocean, etc. Also, would you be able to use Prisma's effect on something that fuses with Contact Fusion like the Neos fusions? 121.222.170.239 (talk) 09:09, March 26, 2012 (UTC)

Dr Kain (talk • contribs) 22:59, April 5, 2012 (UTC)

Actually no, there is a distinct difference. If a card is Summoned by the effect of another and not by a game mechanic or inherent effect, then the Summoned can be responded to, like with Torrential Tribute, but not negated, like with Judgment, because once the effect to Summon resolves the Summon has already been successful. That's why Warning would work but not Judgment - Judgment can't negate Monster effects, whee Warning can negate any effect to Summon a monster, including that of a monster card So Warning can be used before Archfiend even hits the field, by responding to the activation of Archfiend's effect. PHASE (talk • contribs) 23:19, April 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * PHASE is correct; Solemn JUDGMENT only respond to "Inherent" Special Summon, not the lore that cause the special summon, like you couldn't negate the Fusion Summon that was used by "Polymerization", "Dark Calling", "Miracle Fusion", etc. But you can Judgment the spell card itself, but not the summon. Warning can negate the process of Summon AND the lore that cause the Summon itself too. But again, on Kain's point of view; Judgment can stop Warning, where "Warning" can't stop "Judgment" - though Judgment mentioned "Summon". -- F  r  e  d  C  a  t  23:27, April 5, 2012 (UTC)

Hello. On duelingnetwork, i had two genex ally and a limiter removal in my hand: i was planning to attack with both, but activate limiter removal only during the damage step so i can bypass some card effects my stupid opponent might have,like swift scarecrow: when i attacked: he immediately took out the original atk point from his lps and i used limiter removal, telling him i wanted to give him a chance of activating effects first during the battle step. He ignored me and laughed at me saying it was too late, THAT IDIOT. I took limiter removal back, he wasn't very happy about it, but we continued anyway. The next turn, he used a lowly strategy, eventhough i said i didn't want any meta decks! (he said he didn't know what's meta) I should have won if he weren't such a baby!i quit the duel in anger.

You aren't allowed to say "No _______" in rated, the only things you may specify is language and OCG/TCG and matches. But you were right in being able to use Limiter Removal, it's not like we have the cards in our hands so it may be faster or slower depending on the person playing, responses do take time sometimes. You can also solemn warning a monster if they hopped to battle phase too fast. 121.222.170.239 (talk) 03:09, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

So I got this ritual monster in my hand and Advanced Ritual Art as well, but for some reason my opponent thinks I can't use it instead of Emblem of the Awakening in order to Ritual Summon it. Even though Konami says in their own OCG Rulings for the card that it is possible to use it with Divine Grace - Northwemko, who has the same kind of "this card can only be Ritual Summoned by the _____ Ritual Card" effect.

After enough arguing though, he lets me continue the play because he's tired of being wrong, so I do, and send the 4 Forbidden One cards to the graveyard so I can double Dark Factory them back up, Xyz Lavalval Chain with Manju, place 'xodia on top, and win the next turn.

The other day I got into an argument about being able to negate the "activation" of Wind-Up Zenmaines's effect. I told him you can't because its continuous. He still tells me to destroy Zenmaines. I tell him you can't a second time and he calls an admin. Well I am certain I am in the right because I had seen the same argument before (and the ruling was posted on their site, but more on that later). So we wait about 30-40 minutes for the admin, and when he finally shows up he says "whats the problem?" I tell him he is trying to negate Zenmaines effect, but he won't accept he can't. The admin waits a second (I assume to imply he's trying to read or something", and asks what phase was the effect used in. The game was still in the battle phase, but I guess he could have assumed someone was just being a jerk or whatever, and I answered. He says Zenmaines effect will be negated and Zenmaines will be destroyed. I told the admin it was continuous effect, but seeing that even if he was right I would still lose I admitted and immediately set out to find the ruling from so long ago. Upon finding it I sent the link to both other parties, and the admin replies back "what is this?" So I explain why he was wrong in detail and he says so I was right?

Early in the duel he had 3 monsters on the field and I was trying to keep my Worm Linx (draw power for stall cards) and my Mystical Elf (weak stall card)so I activated Level Limit - Area Bforcing his Level 4 and 5 monsters into defense position. Several turns later he sacrifices 2 of his monsters to summon a Level 8 monster and then proceeded to attack. I told him that because of Level Limit his monster went to defense position and he insisted that "No it doesn't. That card only affects the monsters that were on the field when it was activated. Just ask the people in Public Chat". So I asked, got the explanation from those people of "No the card is a continuous card therefore its constantly" (which is what I was trying to tell the dude) and I even sent him several different pages of card rulings for it. He ragequit -_- Also, speaking of DN, add me. Username is GrimKnight. I know most of my rules and I read the full description of every card played and if I am confused I will ask questions. I would love to play with those that can actually play (if I am added, PM me that way I know) Dexus 913 (talk • contribs) 18:28, May 12, 2012 (UTC)

Dueled this guy. I was testing out a Neos deck prior to the release of Miracle Contact to see how they fair out. I had an Elemental Hero Neos and Daigusto Emeral out and Mirror Force face down. My opponent attacked my Emeral with his monster and I activated Mirror Force. He told me to destroy my Emeral because Mirror Force doesn't negate the attack and it still goes through... After I explained to him the attack doesn't go through, he raged and told me to actually learn the rules... --俺はダルク 00:05, May 14, 2012 (UTC)

Players who attempt to specail summon while you control a Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo, or use pot of duality while thunder king is faceup, they really annoy me. I also have dueled people who tr to use effect veiler on their own turn. There was alsoomeone who argued that you activate quickplay spell cards the turn they are set.

I was dueling this guy using my Verz laggia deck; I used my second rescue rabbit to summon 2 heliotropes and he says 'WTF how can you have 2 rescue rabbits when its limited to 1?', I showed him the recent banlist and how rescue rabbit isn't on it, and then he quits. Total moron since he doesn't realise that DN doesn't let you have more copies than you're allowed in a deck. Neos01 (talk • contribs) 14:31, May 14, 2012 (UTC)


 * At least he should paying attention to the Deck Con. that limited certain cards - Rescue Rabbit is not one of them; last time I checked, it's Unlimited (with no number or cross on corner) -- i  F  r  e  d  C  a  t  14:33, May 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * I know, thats what made me think he was a complete idiot, because he was using dino rabbit, which doesn't work with only 1 rabbit. Neos01 (talk • contribs) 14:39, May 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * In some formula of the deck, 1 is good, 2 is good and sometimes 3 is good. I have 2, but used only 1 at a time and no, it's not Rabbit Dino Deck - I don't have Laggia or enough Dolkka to complete it - I only have 1 copy of the latter. I only used Rabbit to get random LV3 or LV4 out then I could either Overlaying them for Rank 4 (Dolkka if needed) or Rank 3 (Usually Leviair, yes I have one of him, in Ultimate) -- i  F  r  e  d  C  a  t  14:42, May 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * You're lucky; I don't have either of those cards; they are so expensive. I'm now running a Hero Beat deck so it doesn't really matter that much, but still, I wish I had those cards. Neos01 (talk • contribs) 15:51, May 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * Sure, I pulled both from random packs by pure lucky. For your information; "Evolzar Dolkka" was first Secret Rare Card I pulled from ORCS pack. -- i  F  r  e  d  C  a  t  15:55, May 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * Wow. The best card I pulled from ORCS is Number C39. Luckily, from GAOV, I pulled 2 Atum, 2 Su, 2 Tofeni and 1 Photon Strike Bounzer (I bought many packs though). I'm close to making a Hieratic OTK deck (Of course it won't be as good as the OCG due to no Gustaph, but its better than nothing). Neos01 (talk • contribs) 16:06, May 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * I am beyond you - I got two C39 Utopia, 1 Ghost and 1 Ultra Rare. -- i  F  r  e  d  C  a  t  16:08, May 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * Lol, but I have a Photon Strike Bounzer. Neos01 (talk • contribs) 16:17, May 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * Pulled that monster from fourth packs, it was Ultra Rare. Not too bad? -- i  F  r  e  d  C  a  t  11:09, May 16, 2012 (UTC)

Dueling an idiot on DN first he thinks that i cant chain MST to his MST to destroy his other set card then he thinks that Brain Jacker activates when attacked and tries to take control of my zenmaines when i tried explaining he was like wtf and called an admin we are waiting now LG talk My own Guides 08:20, May 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * You're saying that your opponent is MSTing his own same MST he was playing? "Brain Jacker" is dead when attacked, he has same displaying as all "Charmer" monster, must be face-up on the field in order to resolve the effect. -- i  F  r  e  d  C  a  t  11:09, May 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * I think what LG is trying to say is that he chained HIS MST to his opponent's MST to destroy his opponent's set card, and his opponent said he can't do that. Neos01 (talk • contribs) 13:29, May 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * That's making sense... That is legal move - MST is Spell Speed 2, which can chained to other Spell Speed 2, but not Spell Speed 3. -- i  F  r  e  d  C  a  t  13:33, May 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * In other words it's another person that thinks that destroying a card also negates it/ is not allowed to be chained. Holmez89 (talk • contribs) 17:01, May 29, 2012 (UTC)

I may have aquired plenty of examples by now of shenanagins but I'll just mention this. So I'm facing a 60 card Blackwing deck with my defense otk deck. Things start slowly but when I intimidate him with Battle Mania he decides to synch (having Blackwing - Gladius the Midnight Sun and Blackwing - Etesian of Two Swords forced to attack a D2 Shield'd Stone Statue of the Aztecs is not the best thing in the world to allow.) I misplay and negate his synchro's summon...I had no need to as I suspected it'd be something threatening but it wasn't.

Ok reading here is when things get dumb. So after some time passes he tries to tribute-less summon Elphin while only having two set monsters. I let him know he is not able to, he skips to main phase 2 for some reason and flips both his monsters, one of hem being a morphing jar eh, into face up defense. I tell him his is not the anime but he doesn't listen (doesn't matter as I rarely attack with this deck).

Some time passes and all he does is summon copies of Shura and he sets his entire hand eventually. I had Threatening Roar ready and fliped up 3 copies of Destiny HERO - Defender since he had all he could on the field and a raidince banisher. He doesn't even try to attack (such a scary backrow he got obviously) so I had no need to use any roars. EVERY TURN I have to inform him about Defender's effect activating. What feels like 1000 years pass and he gets out friggen Blackwing - Abrolhos the Megaquake. He manages to use his effect twice...and he never attacks so he just wasted time.

Some more nothing and now by now I had to banish all his cards for him since he never did that once while I controlled banisher. I also had to inform him the number of cards he needed to discard during each end phase. I had to TELL HIM WHAT TO DO for most of the duel like he has no attention span or something. Eventually he makes room for The Calculator. It had over 6000 atk. He makes sure to attack with every other monster he has (and in a cheesy fashion bring him to, I mean it, 50 lifepoints) but he ignores Big Shield Gardna even though it was the first thing he attacked that turn! I just use Magic Cylinder and he pauses for what has to have been like 10 minutes before trying to activate Defense Draw of all things. I tell him why it does nothing then he says that my deck is bs and that he won because he used Abrolhos's eff (600 atk is not enough for it...but I veiler'd him for teh lulz anyways.)

And that is a tale of someone who needs to be told EVERYTHING to play. 96.249.200.162 (talk) 20:20, May 29, 2012 (UTC)

almost everytime i play constellars this scenario happens:
 * I attack with Constellar Omega
 * they activate D-prison
 * I chain omega's eff
 * they say i cant
 * i win in the end

Hmmm this wiki be messing with mah posts...I'll give a short anecdote then. This tends to happen often for me. Someone wants Constellar Omega out but lacks light monsters so they opt for Utopia. They attack and I use Cylinder for game. They try to negate that even though it's already negated...and skill drain is face up (sometimes on thier side of the field) to make it even more not possible. Maybe I am wrong but I don't think they can do much about it. Could have also said this one before here (would hope that ain't the case) but it happened again anyways. 96.249.200.162 (talk) 17:59, May 30, 2012 (UTC)

My story isn't really a ruling thing, just a goof, but still funny. So I had this guy cornered (Red Dragon Archfiend, Scrap Dragon, and Five-Headed Dragon on my side of the field). He knows he gone unless he can nuke the field, so summons Spirit Reaper and Monster Reborns my Bri Synchron trying to go for a Black Rose Dragon. He thinks he's cleared my field and gets excited...and then I have to tell him about Bri Synchrons effect. He wasn't angry, just a little crestfallen. 71.141.88.93 (talk) 23:20, May 30, 2012 (UTC)HerpDerp

Dueling a complete Idiot on DN,first he tries to summon battle Faderafter i CHAIN my forbidden lance to his d- prison.later on the duel,he destroys my constellar sheratan with Chaos-End Master and tries to special summon some monster with ? ATK.I beat him so bad after that.--LaserGhost (talk • contribs) 06:25, June 4, 2012 (UTC)

Oh snap that was you in that duel? Well he sure took way too long to make actions. Guy had a bad deck anyways.

Hmmmm something more on topic...eh another short thing to say. Faced some sort of search stall Exodia while I used Gem-Knights. Whenever I attacked with Gem-Knight Citrine I had to remind him he cannot use his silly Sakuretsu or Drain Shield. Same goes for his deck thinning floaters. I swear people can't read most of the time. 96.249.200.162 (talk) 07:02, June 4, 2012 (UTC)

I just dueled this guy called jrools100 and he was an idiot. He used One day of peace so neither player can take damage and he had gemini elf on his field. I summon eclipse wyvern and crash it into his elf, then I tell him I'm using its effect to banish a red eyes darkness metal dragon. Then I summon lightpulsar using its effect, then I tell him I'm using my eclipse wyvern effect to add red eyes to my hand. Then I summon Darkflare dragon and use its effect to banish 1 exodia piece in his grave. He said at that point I make no sense and leaves, even though I told him what effects I was using, and he read those effects himself. I hate it when people do that. Neos01 (talk • contribs) 12:35, June 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * That's just because most people see cards such as One day of Peace and Waboku as a get out of jail free card. You usually can't touch their lifepoints. So they tend to get aggravated when you decide to take the game from another angle. You can usually tell how it's going to go based on their reaction to suicide attacks. Holmez89 (talk • contribs) 17:10, June 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * I know, just now I dueled this guy, he activates lightning vortex, I use stardusts effect to negate it, I told him he still has to pay the cost even if its negated, so he discarded 1, then I special summon stardust through its effect. Then he tells me to put it back in the grave, saying I misplayed. I asked him how, he said since he payed the cost, he activated the cards effect successfully, so stardust is destroyed. He didn't understand that you still have to pay the cost even if effect is negated. I couldn't be bothered to play with such an idiots so I left, calling him a dumbass, since he was quite rude himself. Neos01 (talk • contribs) 18:36, June 6, 2012 (UTC)

You can call it the offical spot to bitch about online duels :p of course a sticky would never happen because that is pointless. Not sure what :B means but it looks insulting lol. 96.249.200.162 (talk) 20:03, June 6, 2012 (UTC)

I just had a legion of bad players assault me consecutivley, sooooooo many that I just have to gripe about all of them.

None of these are real quotes but these scenarios oh man. Disclaimer: All these people are at least 850/450, highest it got to is some guy with like 1200-1600/1150.

Game 1] Six Samurai vs Chain Burn World (me): "I'll put counters on gateway if the summons are negated. Gateway's effect to use counters from anything is applied to my other cards, I'll use that to somehow prevent Dojo from going to the grave and swarm. I can use The Six Samurai - Zanji effect after you Mirror me so you can't control ur Doomcaliber. Now to put my master plan into play, I'll use Double-Edged Sword Technique to do NOTHING and take damage!" The guy called me a bitch often and a noob for using DW's. After getting harassed enough I got teh guy banned.

Game 2] My Life as a Teenage Robot (competitive version; me) vs Infernity: "I'll summon 3 Dark Grephers without any useful cards on hand and let them be run over by your Gellenduo. How u get Archlord Kristya??!! U no 4 fareh in grave c Guardian of Order is teh wario lol. He need 2 tribute!! U is outta luck, I got Mind Control set and I draw Archfiend. Now I haz ur Kristya, U no special summon but I CAN." I had to keep telling him how he isn't able to do that while he keep summoning cards until he just quit. This was one of the higher rated folk.

Game 3] Dark World Macro Blackwings? vs Naturia Bamboo Shoot Turbo (me): I just feel sad for the guy. It was a very pitiful sight. He used discard for cost cards to make him noobtastic. Also tried using Shura's effect even though there was no grave and it was a scuicide into Horneedle to make it not do anything even more. Not too important but when he actually had stuff in the grave, he'd use a DW eff before drawing with gates...I don't think it works like that. I could be wrong.

Game 4] Totally not net decked Inzektors vs GaGaGa Duo (me): "Now you will fear me! I shall use Foolish Burial to send...uh Armageddon Knight to the grave yeah. It begins! I summon Tour Bus From the Underworld and use it's effect to summon a level 3... huh what? The wrong monster? Oh well then I set 1 and end...and I go again, time to knock your lights out! Here's the actual TGU, and I bring with it Hornet! What Fiends only? Well fine, I overlay for Number 17: Leviathan Dragon! I detach ALL the things! Oh come on only one? Ok then I detach...bus to get back my knight into the deck mwhahaha! D.D. Warrior Lady only has her effect if you attack so my dragon is safe you fool! No? Oh my bad guess I'll end...I draw time to seal your fate! I summon Centipede and use his effect...what is this Veiler you speak of? Never mind ok Inzektor Sword - Zektkaliber on him and special summon Gilasaurus from my oh Torrential huh well too bad for you I got Forbidden Chalice!" Yeah this one was annoying to sit through.

Game 5] Anti-Meta Ninjas (me) vs Rabbit Dino Chaos: Ok this one I do not have a personality to give because they were quiet but so much was done wrong. Shameful rating too. Maybe they like cheating, hell if I know. I have Rai-Oh; they use Charge of the Light Brigade, I spaced out and let that slide but then I bring it up later (when all he did was mill for it, after I kill his next monster, so it's not too late to fix it). I avoid the obvious Ryko and kill a set Sangan. After asking if he would add a card he says "I try not to cheat" I remember Rai-Oh's effect then and bring up why did he add with Light Brigade? NO response. Had a dumb enough day so I wasn't going to even bother aruging that. Some time passes and he uses TGU to get out TBU, summons Leviar, tries to get out REDMD. I tell him level 4 and lower only. He tries to normal summon Lyla for no reason and I tell him nope to that too. Next turn he uses Goblindbergh to get out Lyla, DOESN'T use her effect, and summon Utopia immidiatley making it Ray for no good reason. He drops BLS, I have a set Snowman Eater, he attacks it with BLS. Knowing how dumb he is I target Leviar for teh lulz. He tries to attack again, I tell him BLS's second attack is actually an effect he has to declare beforehand. I'm doing this to be a dick at this point I didn't mean it. Anyways so he attacks with Utopia and I use Mirror on him. He says "eff" and detaches a material from Utopia...he didn't have any of his monsters die. At this point I cussed him the hell out until he quit.

SO MANY BAD PLAYERS Dobut this will be read but this just bothered me too much to keep in, all of these in a row is frustrating. 96.249.200.162 (talk) 01:28, June 7, 2012 (UTC)
