Forum:Chain Strike's Effect

I've browsed the Internet for this for some time in order to be certain of how Chain Strike's effect works (being a big fan of the Chain Strike burn decks), but one thing still remains unclear to me. Does the phrase "cards/effects with the same name" apply to all cards in the chain, or just Chain Strike?

This very wiki seems to suggest that it only applies to itself, as reading the page on burn decks suggests (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Burn_Deck#Chain_Burn_.28Non_OTK.29), "unlike most of the cards in the 'chain' archetype multiple copies may be used in the same chain. So it is possible to chain to an opponent's spell card with two chain detonations, reckless greed, accumulated fortune, and chain strike," but this makes the text on chain cards somewhat meaningless. Why doesn't it simply say "this card cannot be activated if more than one Chain Strike is in the chain" instead?

Another issue in this case is the phrase "cards/effects." Can there be an effect that's not from a card? Or does this mean that the same effect (from one card) cannot be activated twice? An example would be Winged Rhynos. Can I or can I not activate his effect after each and every trap card played, then finish off with Chain Strike? I've had a judge rule that I can activate multiple cards in the same chain (as long as it doesn't go over the two Chain Strike limit), and have abused that in those tournaments, but I don't want to keep at it if it isn't official. --Harmonex (talk • contribs) 21:46, April 29, 2011 (UTC)
