Forum:Questions

Hello there =-), i have some questions

1. Can i special summon Cyber Dragon if my opponent has more than 1 monster on their side of the field?

2. How does Destiny Hero - Plasma work?

3. Would e.g Raiza the Storm Monarch be treated as having been Tribute Summoned if summoned by Mausoleum of the Emperor ?

4. Can Zoma the Spirit be tributed for a Tribute Summon, Special Summon (e.g. Destiny Hero - Plasma) or as a cost? (e.g. Enemy Controller)

--Darkblaze Serpent 18:39, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

1) You can special summon Cyber Dragon as you control no monsters and you opponent at least has one monster on their side of the field.

2) I assume it works like Relinquished.

3) No you must tribute a Monarch properly to get its effect.

4) Yes you can tribute this monster as well as Metal Reflect Slime.King of Games 19:20, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
 * All the above are correct. --Dragon Slayer (Contribs • Count) 19:23, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

So if Plasma would be destroyed when equipped with a monster the equipped monster is destroyed instead? (Just like Relinquished?) --Darkblaze Serpent 19:59, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
 * No, they will be both destroyed. --Rein Weiss Ritter 20:00, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Ok, thanks everyone

--Darkblaze Serpent 20:15, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

As a note, Plasma gains half the equipped monster's ATK, unlike Relinquished whose ATK becomes the same as the ATK of the equipped Monster. Danny Lilithborne 08:17, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi, i need your help. 1. Black rose dragon activates its effect and chain with forbidden chalice, rose dragon remains effect? and it is the same with test tiger? 2. Dark Armed Dragon has priority? 3. If my opponent has activated Ancient City - Rainbow Ruins and has 5 cristal beast and i activate for example dust tornado against Ancient City - Rainbow Ruins and he/she activates Ancient City - Rainbow Ruins effects to negate my trap card but i chain with mystical space, can he/she negates my mystical space typhoon?


 * 1) The effect of "Black Rose Dragon" will be negated.
 * For "Test Tiger", you Tribute "Test Tiger" as a cost, so when your opponent gets the chance to activate "Forbidden Chalice" "Test Tiger" is not on the field, so he cannot target "Test Tiger" with "Forbidden Chalice".
 * 2) Cards never have Priority; only players do.
 * After you successfully Summon "Dark Armed Dragon", first, you have Priority to activate an Ignition Effect or Spell Speed 2+ effect. Your opponent cannot activate anything until you either activate an effect, or pass.
 * "Dark Armed Dragon" has an Ignition Effect, so you may activate its effect before your opponent can respond to the Summon.
 * 3) Yes. The effect of "Ancient City - Rainbow Ruins" may be activated multiple times in the same Chain.

Dark World/Dimesional Fissure
Which effct resolves last. Can you special summon Dark World Monsters if u have a Dimesional fissure in play on the field


 * If "Dimensional Fissure" is active, then monsters are removed from play without hitting the Graveyard. If you discard a "Dark World" monster, then it is removed from play from your hand and never reaches the Graveyard, so the effect of the "Dark World" monster cannot be activated.

question about removal and necroface
if a necroface is removed from play and its effect activates when the top 5 cards of the deck are removed from play, if another necroface is within those 5 cards does that necroface's effect activate and do you remove another five cards?

Yes,both players remove another 5 cards.110.159.4.7 09:11, January 15, 2010 (UTC)

Kalut(Blackwing)
if i use Kalut's effect to power up a monster during my opponent's battle phase, if i have another kalut in my hand can i use that one too? can they stack?


 * 1) Yes, the effect of the second "Necroface" will activate, and will mill another five cards.
 * 2) Yes, that is legal. They will "stack", and will provide a total of +2800 ATK.

if I use two Reckless Greeds and apply their effects successfully, during my next turn if I activate a third Reckless Greed am i unable to draw for two turns after the third R.G. or am I just unable to draw for one more turn, due to the first R.G.s? 74.3.4.32 01:12, December 23, 2009 (UTC)seventhrain768


 * You cannot draw for two turns after you activate the third copy of "Reckless Greed". --Deus Ex Machina (Talk) 03:00, December 23, 2009 (UTC)

Hi =)everybody I have some questions. 1. Ancient Forest only works with a monster that attack? Just A monster? 2. If my Koa'ki Meiru Maximus were Special Summon and were destroyed, can i Special Summon it from my graveyard? I pay the cost that is remove a Iron core Koa'ki meiru. And K.M. Maximus has priority? 3. Stardust Dragon can negate the Ancient Forest effect that destroys?  4. Koa'ki meiru Guardian and Gladiator Beast War Chariot can negate the monster's effect that activates in the graveyard?

Thank you =D

1. It can kill the monster that attacked. Read the text careful. 2. Like Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning, you cannot do that after it summoned in correct way. So you have to revive it back to your hand for it NOMI summon again. 3. Yes, since it said "destroy", so tribute him right away. 4. Nope, try using The End of Anubis instead, since he can prevent any effect from activate while they're in graveyard.

Okay, here we go:
 * 1) Technically, how can you attack with multiple monsters in a same time? So, the effect is no mistake. However, if you attack with say.... 2 or 3 monsters (one after another of course), yeah they will be destroyed at the end of Battle Phase
 * 2) Cards Don't have Priority. The Players do. You can declare Priority when you summon it so Koa'ki Meiru Maximus's effect will become Chain Link 1. If Koa'ki Meiru Maximus is sent to the graveyard after it was summoned properly, yes you can Special Summon it again.
 * 3) Nope. Stardust Dragon can only negate the "Activation of the card" that destroys. not the "Activation of an effect" that destroys.
 * Yes, they can. Neos lover 12:25, December 29, 2009 (UTC)

3) As long as the card 'Starts a chain link' then Stardust can negate it. So Stardust Dragon can negate the effect of Ancient Forest that activates after the battle phase. Falzar FZ 12:33, December 29, 2009 (UTC)

Ancient Forest vs.Stardust Dragon
Hi again =)

Ok, about the Stardust Dragon's effects says "You can Tribute this card to NEGATE the ACTIVATION of a Spell Card, Trap Card, or Effect Monster's EFFECT THAT DESTROYS a card(s) on the field, and destroy that card."

The Ancient Forest's effect is activated when a monster attacks but this effect doesn't is continuous. So...

Stardust Dragon, Can negate Ancient Forest? YES or No?

thanks =D

200.92.53.220 01:02, December 30, 2009 (UTC)

yes

As I said
 * As long as the card 'Starts a chain link' then Stardust can negate it. So Stardust Dragon can negate the effect of Ancient Forest that activates after the battle phase.
 * The rulings for Ancient Forest say: "The effect to destroy monsters starts a Chain."
 * The first sentence on page Activation is: "To activate an effect is to have the effect start a Chain Link."

Vayu / Royal Oppresion
Hi =)people, i need help!

1. The Blackwing - Vayu the Emblem of Honor's effect of remove, is a cost?

2. If my opponent activates Vayu's effect and i activate Royal Oppresion, Vayu is removed?

3. And if Vayu weren't removed, Can you apply the effect again?

4. Why can revive the chaos sorcerer after removing the monsters listed if it say that can only be Special Summon removing the monsters listed?

thank you!!!

200.92.53.220 06:58, December 31, 2009 (UTC)

Vayu does not remove anything as a cost, the removal is part of the effect. If you can chain Royal Oppression to the effect it will "negate the effect" and nothing is removed. If you allow Vayu to resolve and special summon the Synchro Monster, the summon is successful so you can't use Royal Oppression to "negate the summon".
 * 1) not a cost
 * 2) not removed
 * 3) They can use Vayu's effect again
 * 4) Read page on Semi-Nomi

So basically it's pointless using Oppression on Vayu. This is why Oppression is used in certain builds of Blackwing decks. Falzar FZ 08:49, December 31, 2009 (UTC)

If I tribute summon a Jinzo and attack during my battle phase can my opponent activate a Negate Attack and have the effect go through because of the Negate Attack's speed 3?

No, Jinzo says "Trap Cards cannot be activated." This is a continuous effect. Once it is successfully summoned this effect applies and even counter traps can't be used afterwards. Falzar FZ 23:03, January 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * Note that Spell Speed only determines what can be Chained to the card, and to what the card can be Chained. The effect of "Jinzo" does not use a Chain Link, so it doesn't Chain to anything, so Spell Speeds is irrelevant.  --Deus Ex Machina (Talk) 07:47, January 7, 2010 (UTC)

Saving Black Rose
If I synchro summon a Black Rose Dragon and activate its effect to destroy the entire playing field, can I use Interdimensional Matter Transporter to remove from play Black Rose or some other face up monster I have on the field in order to save them? I also wanted to know if I can use it on Black Rose itself since the card text does not require Black Rose Dragon to be tributed in order for the effect to be activated. CloudStrife768 02:53, January 15, 2010 (UTC)

Yes, you can chain it to BRD's effect. This is also on the Tips page for Black Rose Dragon. Falzar FZ 02:58, January 15, 2010 (UTC)

Beast King Barbaros / Forbidden Chalice
Hi

If my opponent summons Beast King Barbaros or Fusilier Dragon, the Dual-Mode Beast and he/she attacks me and he/she activates Forbidden Chalice, the attack of that monster becomes normal as indicated in the card then or is reduced for its effect? Thank You And if he/she activates Lonefire Blossom and in the field is skill drain, the Lonefire Blossom's effect resolves?

ThankYou 201.132.69.72 05:28, January 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * Even without tributes, it will make it the number on the card + the boost Forbidden Chalice gives. (So Barbaros will be 3400)
 * Lonefire will only resolve if the player tributes that same Lonefire as the cost (so it is in the grave, not field like what Skill Drain says it negates).

Falzar FZ 05:38, January 16, 2010 (UTC)

hi again

Ok, so what happen after the End Phase?, King Barbaros has its attack normal (3000 ATK) or still reduced (1900 ATK)

201.132.186.118 20:59, January 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Beast King Barbaros will remain to 3000 ATK. ATEMVEGETA  (Talk) 22:08, January 16, 2010 (UTC)

If I attack my opponent's Neo Spacian Grand Mole with with my Ally of Justice Catastor, does Mole get destroyed or does its effect activate? Do I just have to call priority?

Both trigger simultaneously but Mole is an Optional Trigger and Catastor is is a Compulsory Trigger. So Catastor will always be chain link 1 and Mole will always be chain link 2, meaning Mole will return itself to hand (and Catastor to the Extra Deck) before Catastor resolves.

Can Grinder Golem be special summon from the graveyard if properly summon first.


 * Yes. "Grinder Golem" is a Special Summon-only monster, so it can be Special Summoned from the Graveyard if it was properly Summoned beforehand.

Obelisk and Plasma
If Obelisk the Tormentor is summoned with Hardened Armed Dragon and it becomes invulnerable to "all" effects, if I summon Destiny Hero Plasma, is Obelisk not affected by Plasma's "skill drain" effect and does this mean I can't use Obelisk to power up Plasma? If Obelisk wasn't not summoned with Hardened Armed Dragon then can I use Plasma to take control of Obelisk?

CloudStrife768 23:25, January 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * "Obelisk the Tormentor" is only immune to effects which target. The effect-negating effect of "Destiny Hero - Plasma" does not target, so "Obelisk the Tormentor" will be affected, and the effect of "Obelisk the Tormentor" will be negated.
 * Afterwards, the "immunity" effect of "Obelisk the Tormentor" is negated, so it may be targeted normally. The "absorption" effect of "Destiny Hero - Plasma" may target it, and "Obelisk the Tormentor" will become an Equip Spell Card.


 * The effects of "Destiny Hero - Plasma" do not destroy anything, so "Hardened Armed Dragon" is irrelevant to this.

Question...
I use an E.Hero deck,what happens when i use my E.Hero Absolute Zero to attack my opponent's Goyo Guardian?

"This monster cannot be Special Summoned except by Fusion Summon."
 * That's a Nomi monster, Goyo cannot revive it. Falzar FZ 23:04, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

If I Have a Destiny Hero Plasma on the field, attack my opponent and he special Summons Gorz, does the Token still get special summoned since Plasma's "Skill Drain" effect is still in play?

After Gorz summons himself, his token summoning effect will be negated when it tries to resolve. Falzar FZ 05:42, January 28, 2010 (UTC)

Prometheus
If I summon Prometheus King of Shadows I remove 5 dark Monsters from my grave yard. Prometheus' second effect states it gains 400 for each removed card. Is that 400 for each dark monster I removed with Prometheus' effect, or 400 for all removed cards from play in general?
 * Prometheus, King of the Shadows will gain 400 ATK x the number of the Removed From Play cards. All removed gards are counted, not only the Dark monsters. ATEMVEGETA  (Talk) 20:08, January 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * Um, "Prometheus, King of the Shadows" only gains ATK for the DARK monsters that it removes from play for its own effect. The OCG text is clearer.  --Deus Ex Machina (Talk) 00:59, January 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, it's 400 by the cards removed by its own effect. The TCG text is worded very badly! ATEMVEGETA  (Talk) 07:55, January 31, 2010 (UTC)

Zombie World
Hi!

If my opponent has activated Zombie World, can I tribute set a non-zombie monster? Thanks. 200.77.49.155 05:22, February 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * No, it includes Summon and Set. (See OCG card, the TCG card is less clear)
 * (OCG card says something like "Release" which in their rulings include Summon AND Set, as long as there is a Release (Tribute)) Falzar FZ 05:27, February 21, 2010 (UTC)

i have a question...

1. does gladiator can be return to deck if it direct attack? or does the gladiator beasts must attack an opponent monster first before returning to deck?

2. does g.b. samnite must be called by gladiator beast first before its effect to summon 2 g.b. monsters activated?

3. what will happen if waboku was activated when an opponent attcks and face down samnite was there (note that samnite was not summon by a g.b. in this question)

plss.... email it to kadota0016@yahoo.com ,a local yu gi oh tournament is coming in our town and i must know the answers before then....
 * 1) Yes. You can activate the effect of a Gladiator Beast after it attacked directly.
 * 2) Gladiator Beast Samnite does not Special Summon any Gladiator Beasts! Gladiator Beast Secutor does, and yes, he must be Special Summoned by a Gladiator Beast's effect before in order to activate his effect.
 * 3) Gladiator Beast Samnite will not be destroyed by battle and he can activate his effect during the End Step.

six samurai united and gateway of six
Hi.

If my opponent has six samurai united or gateway of six activated and he/she normal summons or special summons and i chain with bottomless trap hole

in these cards is put counters? thanks 200.92.252.224 07:42, April 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * Placing counters with those cards don't start chains, the just get the counters as the monster is summoned. Then you can activate bottomless in response to the Summon. Falzar FZ 10:18, April 8, 2010 (UTC)

Inferno Reckless Summon/UFO Turtle Questions
I am told that this combo cannot work (just like using Flamvell firedog) because I cannot activate IRS during the damage step. I am told that only cards that can alter attack or def points can be activated in the Damage Step. That doesn't make any sense because there are points in the damage step when attack points stop matter. Once the monster is destroyed it can't gain attack points. I argue that I should be allowed to activate IRS even though these monsters activate during the damage step because the rule of the damage step is now pointless. Am I right?

If I am wrong, what are some cards I can use for specially summoning monsters?

What do you mean there are points in the damage step when ATK don't matter? Don't you think that you can still change the ATK of the monster that was summoned by UFO Turtle? ATK points do matter throughout the damage step.

As for special summoning monsters, Marauding Captain helps.--00:08, April 15, 2010 (UTC)
