WTF? A TON OF RULING REVERSALS! WHAT TO DO?
Hi man! What's up? Well, as you must have noticed too, with that email-ing to Konami ability that we have, we got a LOT reversals of the old TCG Rulings. Check Prisma, Rivalry of Warlords, The Damage Step Chart, and more! And we can make much more of the old rulings invalid with just a few emails.

What to do with those? Here's some options: 1) Leave them as they are now? (Hmmmm....) 2) Delete them all. (Kinda crazy!) 3) Every time we get an email that causes a ruling reversal we scratch that ruling as outdated (as we did with Zombie Tiger's ruling). (But those can be unlimited!) 4) Place them all into a category of "old rulings" and add a note that they can be outdated. (Hmmmm....) 5) Something else! (What?)

Well, another thing is that Konami DOES use those rulings but NOT all of them. For example, they told me that they don't have any rulings of Evil Hero Infernal Prodigy in their files, but they have Spirit of the Six Samurai's ruling. If at least we knew what ruling they are using then we could just keep them and do something only for others (delete them, scratch them, ect).

 * Well, this way has some problems as well! One is that we can get infinite rulings through this method. Another, and most impotant, is the misinformation, like what happened with the Spirit of the Six Samurai's ruling! So someone (not legit person) can create a ruling (or a photo), post it somewhere (like Pojo) and then say that he got that from Konami!


 * My opinion is to not add those rulings that are received from Konami's email to prevent any danger of misinformation. Not even those received by you, me or any other trustable person. I prefer to add only those that come from "official" persons like Tewart! Like the Snyffus and Drill Warrior ones!


 * But with that way, the previous problem with the outdated rulings still exist! But I think it is better to have that problem rather to have the danger of posting "fake" rulings here!


 * What do you think?

 * Excelent! Lets do that! Thanks! ATEMVEGETA  (Talk) 09:42, June 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry, man! Now I noticed the threat that you created. (How I missed your post in my talk page anyway? :S ) I'll post my opinion too. (It would be the same though! -_-) ATEMVEGETA  (Talk) 06:19, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

the drill warrior ruling
i wanted to let you know that im one of the top US konami judges for events like the SJC and other east coast events and yes you can use bottomless trap hole on drill warriors special summon and the ruling on this site saying its exempt from it only causes problems at the large tournaments that the judges have to scramble to fix, this may not be a rule everyone likes but this is how the card works and there shouldnt be false information where people go for quick rulings it only causes problems in the long run

Happy Fourth of July!
YOu deserve it after hard work and dedication in the wikia. Fallensilence (talk • contribs) 06:09, July 5, 2010 (UTC)

How so?
ok you say you can use bottomless trap hole to destroy Drill warrior before its successfully Synchro summoned to the Field? i mean i can understand destroying one of the monster cards on the field before the Synchro summon but if its during how's that possible?

Thank You
Thank you for the Tip about Drill Warrior i will remember to note that in some strategies i may come up with later

Relinquished v. Relinquished
Okay, me and my brother were dueling and i summoned a relinquished and equipped his Toon Blue-Eyes White Dragon to it. Then 2 turns later he summoned his own relinquished and he attempter to equip my relinquished to his. Ive played for 10.5 years but this is the first anyone tried that but i said that it wasnt allowed because Relinquished can only have 1 monster equipped to it and he couldnt equip my relinquished because it had a monster equipped. So it would of been 2 monsters. I looked at the rulings page and theres nothing about that. Could you mind helping me?

Appropriate Question/Card Ruling
Question, i have been playing yugioh since L.O.B. About 2 months ago i went to Shonen Jump Edison. While Playing my G.B. Deck i Over heard the Player Next to me arguing Over a Ruling. Player B Was Upset since Player A : Set Appropriate, Then Played Hand-Destruction, and Used Activated Appropriate. Player B Called Over Judge. Judge Ruled For Player B. Player A :Then appealed For Head Judge. Head Judge Ruled In Favor of Player A, Player A's Argument was that Appropriates First line Lets him use it the turn it is set. This Got my Mind going right away. I have never heard of a trap being able to be used first turn. I looked up Rulings, ect and could not find anything.other then "Rule Book Vs. Card Effect" ,Card Effect Winning on Page 44. Also RULE 0: SPECIFIC ALWAYS TRUMPS GENERAL link --> http://forum.tcgplayer.com/blog.php?b=120 Long story Short is the Judge Wrong, or Right --H.J. Mark Johnson (talk • contribs) 15:10, July 17, 2010 (UTC) Mark Johnson Can someone please make it clear on the ruling for "supay" that it does not get its effect when it is destroyed by battle because they are some idiots out there

Thanks for the heads up
At the moment i posted that i've been told the way of the effects of certain cards resolve wrong, so i made and assumption.

Monster Conditions
I think condition effects, like Ronintoadin, Majestic Dragon, and Debris Dragon have, need their own page because the rulings are confusing and are common disputes in my local tournament NOT FrogtheJam (talk • contribs) 03:03, August 1, 2010 (UTC)

Deck Read out
hello my friend i was wondering how do you make a link to show your decks on your page? i cant for the life of me make one of those links with the title of my deck and what all is listed into my deck by proper category.

like it says on the link:

Monster  [Show] spell [Show} Trap [Show]

how do i get a link up to show my deck? Slifer Red Duelist 21:06, August 5, 2010 (UTC)

OCG Rulings wording
When a TCG ruling is issued that is the exact same as an OCG ruling, but worded differently, e.g.
 * OCG: The effect of "Wattcine" activates and starts a Chain Link when Battle Damage is inflicted to your opponent's Life Points.
 * TCG: This effect activates when Battle Damage is inflicted. It can be Chained to.

Do you think we should leave the OCG ruling as is, or change its wording to match the TCG? -- Deltaneos (talk) 19:59, August 7, 2010 (UTC)

I have a question...
I am just wondering if the following combos are possible.

1. Situation: If I have a "Spear Cretin" on the graveyard, one "Spear Cretin" face-down on the field and a Mass Driver face-up on the field. After I flipped the Spear Cretin on the field face-up and Tribute it for Mass Driver for 400 damage. Can I use the effect of Spear Cretin(the one tributed) to special summon in facedown position the "Spear Cretin" on the Graveyard? And doing everything again by flipping the newly special summoned Spear Cretin? Is this an infinite loop?

2. Situation: One face down "Des Lacooda" on the field is flipped face-up, making me draw one card. Then I Summon one Tsukuyomi and use it to flip the Des Lacooda Face-down. Can I flip summon the Des Lacooda to draw another card again given the above situation?
