Are you unable to read?

Does divine wrath negate's yubels effect to summon yubel terror incarnate when its destroyed?
I know divine wrath can negate yubels first effect, where if its attacked the damage is inflicted to the opponent but none to the owner. But when its destroyed and it summons yubel terror incarnate in the graveyard is that effect negated by the first divine wrath or another one needs to be activated to negate the effect or it cannot work at all.

Winged Kuriboh, Transcendent Wings, WKLv10
I have played against this combination a few times and I would like to know it this is the right way my friend uses this. Usually he has Winged Kuriboh face down. I attack another one of his face-up monsters. He activates Transcendent Wings and special summons Winged Kuriboh Lv 10 and then tributes it immediately to destroy all my monsters. I hope this is incorrect. We've had many a debate over this.

PRIME MATERIAL DRAGONS EFFECT
I just want to be sure about something. The ruling states that Prime Material Dragon can only negate cards that would destroy a monster right away, meaning at the activation of the card right? So can it negate Morphtronic Mix-Up if i select 1 Spell or Trap card and 1 Monster? Thank You. --H-E-R-O HERO!! 18:47, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the help man :)

ELEMENTAL HERO STRATOS' SPELL/TRAP DESTRUCTION EFFECT
I also want to be sure about Elemental Hero Stratos' Spell/Trap destroying effect. If I summon him and I have 3 other HERO Monsters except Stratos on my field and my opponent has 2 Spell/Traps on the field and I have 1, can I destroy 2 of his, or do I have to destroy 3?

precious cards from beyond + w-wind prodigy + simorgh BofA = when (if ever) will DARK SIMORGH come to Austin TX?
while i have pcfb in play, i successfully tribute whirlwind prodigy for this lv 8 wind monster - Simorgh Bird of Ancestry. may i draw for the the effect of pcfb and does Simorghs (2nd) effect activate since my whirlwind prodigy treats this normal summon as if it was with 2 (WIND) monsters, not one.. even though, physically, only one monster on the field was actually used for the tribute? simorghs text reads.."If you Tribute Summon this card by Tributing only WIND monsters.." (refering to its 2nd effect). so, does this mean 2 monsters or only the # of monsters required for its tribute - in this case only 1. what are the conditions & timing for me to activate the effects of pcfb / simorgh BofA? is it that 2 WIND monsters were used to tribute from the field or do the effects of pcfb / simorgh BofA only look at the card(s) that were sent from the field AFTER they were sent when resolving (if possible?) their effects?

also, do you have any information regarding the american release (if ever) of the splendid DARK SIMORGH in the TCG. What is the status of DARK SIMORGH in korea / japan forbidden / ban list wise? im thinking for certain semi or limited due to its insane lockdown potential. this card can mercilessly crush your opponent like none other before it IMO thank you fo yo time.

SUMMONER MONKS EFFECT
Summoner Monks effect says it can't be tributed. So if I Special Summon Lava Golem by tributing their 2 face-down monsters if one of the face-down monsters is summoner monk is it still tributed? What im trying to say is can i summon lava golem to my opponents field if one of their 2 face-down monsters is summoner monk? I think i can cuz during my turn i have no idea if one of his face-down monsters is summoner monk so i should be able to tribute it while its face-down for lava golem cuz the rules state that monster effects are never applied while they are face-down they need to be face-up.

Thanks Man i knew i was right. I keep telling people that i know alot of the rulings but they never believe me. At least you know what you are talking about. and again Thanks

Green Baboon/Doomcaliber
I understand what you mean BUT the pages need to be fixed and you have to go with the obviously correct choice, because how it is now makes no sense and kills the point of people coming here for rulings.

nope
i have 2 unlimited edition of "Morphtronic Accelerator" but none of them has the writing "return "morphtronic" monster"

SALVATION DRAGON - SAVIOR DRAGON
Once again I need your help for something I know I'm right about. The ruling on Debris Dragon saying that the sentence containing This card cannot be used as a Synchro Material Monster, except for the Synchro Summon of a Dragon-Type Synchro Monster. and The other Synchro Material Monster(s) cannot be Level 4 is considered a condition/restriction and not an effect which means if Skill Drain is on the field you still wouldn't be able to Synchro Debris Dragon with a level 4 monster nor be able to Synchro summon a non-dragon type monster. Now if that's the case, isn't the sentence containing If this card is used as Synchro Material Monster, it can only be for the Synchro Summon of a "Savior" monster. on Salvation Dragon - Savior Dragon's effect a condition/restriction which cannot be negated by Skill Drain. Am i correct?

Okay, Sorry.
But I asked on the forums and opinion was unanimous. Runer5h 23:46, 15 June 2009 (UTC)Runer5h

Yubel's rulings!
Can you make Yubel's rulings editable again? ATEMVEGETA (Talk) 16:08, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Summoning Chain
I Have some problem with Sangan and Zaborg timing. I dont understand why Sangan and Zaborg chain? My friend Twaglesteap said that he asked you about Sangan and Zaborg, if Zaborg's summon wasn't negated that the two cards formed a chain. I thought Sangan effect would activate before Zaborg is properly summoned. Then once Zaborg does hit the field, his effect then activates after Sangan's had allready. I dont think there's a reason someone couldn't activate Stardust Dragon Assault mode to Sangan, just like anyone can use Divine Wrath. Am I wrong? -Kywinters

forbidden chalice
"Forbidden Chalice" reads as follows : "One face-up monster on the field gains 400 attack, but its effect is negated until the End Phase." lets say i target a Stardust Dragon with it, and Stardust tributes itself to activate its own effect later that same turn. since Stardust Dragon is no longer a.. "face-up monster on the field.." upon its effect resolution, would Forbidden Chalice negate the effect or does it only negate monster effects that resolve ON the field? i ask this question because, in its (Forbidden Chalice) text, it specifically relates to the target monster as one "face-up monster on the field.." : that text leads me to believe that it is referring to WHERE a monsters effect will be negated by this card. i'm trying to understand why this card could negate Stardust's effect or any monster effect that resolves off the field.

thank you,

i just found the wikia ruling.

Question for you Deus Ex
I am presuming you are the Deus Ex Machina from the Konami Forums. If you are, are you currently able to access the forums, cause i keep getting 404 Not Found message...~MEOW~ Might of the BIRD Empire 16:35, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

2 Quick Queries!
Hi Deus, I've got a couple of questions for you:
 * 1) I'm taking an Alien deck to my local SJC and I was wondering, if I Normal Summon an Alien Ammonite, and by his effect I attempt to Special Summon a LV 4 Alien monster from my Graveyard, do I miss the timing to Special Summon Alien Dog from my Hand?
 * 2) Did you ever have this happen to you, or were you always that good? XD. Seriously, are you a LV  judge (or were)? You are really a "Deus Ex Machina" for rulings man, keep it up! --Darth Covah (Talk | Contribs) 22:12, 4 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks a lot Deus! I guess everyone has to start from somewhere! Now, however, your name is literal and not ironic. But that itself is an irony, since you chose it to be ironic! O_o --Darth Covah (Talk | Contribs) 23:46, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you...
That is what I was going to originally put, but this wiki told me differently. I guess one's first instinct is usually right.

Ruling Conflict between (The World tree) and (Arcane Barrier.)
They are both nearly identical in text, yet The World tree rullings does not specify not getting a counter for having a face-down plant being destroyed. I was allso looking at Backfire, but I think backfire works because the effect goes off in the graveyard. Why doesn't Arcane Barrier get a counter? Is it because it is not on the field. 99.194.181.245 21:35, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Soul Taker

 * If I target Power Tool Dragon with Soul Taker, does Power Tool Dragon miss the timing because the last thing to resolve is the gaining of 1000LP? I had this occur recently and believe it to be similar to Green Baboon, Defender of the Forest. Messengerofthedark 06:37, 6 July 2009 (UTC)Messengerofthedark

PRIORITY
Can you call priority on Rainbow Neos' effect before the opponent can activate a Trap Card like Compulsory Evacuation Device, Bottomless Trap Hole etc. when he is Fusion Summoned by Polymerization etc.? i already know the answer but you know why I'm asking you. --H-E-R-O HERO!! 04:38, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

OJAMA KING, OJAMA KNIGHT, AND PHANTOM DRAGONS ZONE OCCUPATION EFFECT
On Yu-Gi-Oh Wikia it states that the effects of Ojama King, Ojama Knight, and Phantom Dragon's effects are continuous effects. So once you select the number of Zones on the field by there effects to become unusable, and they get removed from the field don't the unoccupied zone become usable again since their effects are continuous and they need to be face up on the field. Ocne again i know the answer to this already but you already know why im here lol --H-E-R-O HERO!! 04:39, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

ADDING RAINBOW DRAGON OR RAINBOW DARK DRAGON TO MY HAND
I use a Rainbow Neos Deck and i already know that adding Elemental Hero Neos to my hand is very easy, but the problem is adding Rainbow Dragon and Rainbow Dark Dragon to my hand. Are there any cards you csn think of that can add either Rainbow Dragon or Rainbow Dark Dragon to my hand except for Rainbow Path cause I don't have any Crystal Beasts. Thanks for the help man. hope you can think of some cards that can add them to my hand

Card Rulings:Winged Rhynos
Why to keep that ruling? We don't even have its source!

We had also other similar rulings, from the judge forum, but we got rid of them all, since they didn't had their source anymore. Why to keep that?

And if we keep it, shouldn't be better to place it in a different space from its original rulings, like Semi-Official or something? ATEMVEGETA (Talk) 20:26, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Should we put them to a different...(how to call it?)...space, like ==Rules from the Judge Forum==, and something? ATEMVEGETA  (Talk) 20:42, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
