Forum:Return from the D.D. duration

How long does the effect of "Return from the Different Dimension" last? Does it only allow you to summon enough monsters to fill up your field, or can you keep summoning monsters as long as there are spaces open?

For example, I used this tactic in a small tournament: My Life Points: 2200, My opponent's Life points: 2500 One my field I had: "Stardust Dragon", a face-down "Gagaga Magician", Field Spell Card "Chaos Zone" (3 counters so far), a face down "Return from the Different Dimension", and a face down "Altar for Tribute". In my hand I had, "Dragon's Mirror", "Pot of Avarice", and "Galaxy Knight". On my opponent's field: "Black Skull Dragon", "Number 32: Shark Drake" (2 XYZ materials left), a defense position "Red Eyes Black Dragon" (My card taken from Shark Drake's effect), and 1 face-down ("Kunai with Chain"). My turn: I draw "Malefic Cyber End Dragon". I banish "Cyber End Dragon" from my Extra Deck to summon "Malefic Cyber End Dragon". Now there are 4 Chaos Counters on my "Chaos Zone". Then I activate my Trap card "Altar for tribute", and send "Malefic Cyber End Dragon" to the graveyard, and my life points increase from 2200 to 6200. Then using the effect of "Malefic Truth Dragon", I pay half my life points (6200 to 3100) and Special Summon "Malefic Truth Dragon". Then I use "Dragon's Mirror", and send "Stardust Dragon" from my field along with 4 dragon cards from my graveyard, ("Blue Eyes White Dragon", "Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon", "Axe Dragonute" and "Dark Horus") to summon "Five-Headed Dragon". Now there are 9 Chaos Counters on "Chaos Zone". Then I activate my trap card "Return from the Different Dimension" and pay half my life points (3100 to 1550) to bring back "Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon" and "Blue Eyes White Dragon" to the field. Then I flip "Gagaga Magician" and use his effect to bring his level to 8. The I use "Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon", "Blue Eyes White Dragon", and "Gagaga Magician" to XYZ summon "Neo-Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon". I detach 1 XYZ material ("Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon"), and use "Neo Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon" effect to remove "Number 32: Shark Drake" remaining 2 XYZ materials. "Neo Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon"'s attack increases by 1000 (5500 ATK) and can now attack 3 times per turn. Then I use "Pot of Avarice" and draw "Gagaga Girl" and "Photon Trident". Then I equip "Photon Trident" to "Neo Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon" (5500 ATK to 6200 ATK). And since a "Galaxy" monster is on the field, I normal summon "Galaxy Knight" and use it's effect to bring "Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon" back to the field. Then I use "Galaxy Knight" and "Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon" to XYZ summon "Hieratic Sun Dragon Overlord of Heliopolis". I detach 1 XYZ material and tribute my "Gagaga Girl" in my hand to destroy my opponent's face-down "Kunai with Chain". But then I use the effect of "Chaos Zone" which is still on the field, to bring back "Dark Horus". Now I have "Malefic Truth Dragon" (ATK 5000), "Neo Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon" (ATK 6200), "Five Headed Dragon" (5000 ATK), "Hieratic Sun Dragon Overlord of Heliopolis" (ATK 3000), and "Dark Horus" (ATK 3000), all on my side of the field. Versus my opponent's: "Black Skull Dragon", "Number 32: Shark Drake", and a defense position "Red Eyes Black Dragon". "Dark Horus" destroyed "Red Eyes Black Dragon". "Neo Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon" attacked the other two monsters and directly, and my other 3 monsters attacked directly. Doing about 19400 Life point damage. If you didn't know already, I won. With a bit of overkill. But what I'm really questioning whether or not I could have continued to use "Return from the Different Dimension" effect more than once. If I could, I would have summoned, "Cyber End Dragon" right after I summoned "Neo Galaxy Eyes Photon Dragon". My overall question is: Can I keep summoning monsters to my field using "Return from the Different Dimension" as long as there is space open? Like can I use "Return from the Different Dimension" to bring back monsters, and use those for fusion, synchro or XYZ summon. And then use "Return from the Different Dimension" again since it's still on the field? 67.160.88.205 (talk) 21:34, April 9, 2013 (UTC)
