Ruling for necrovalley and future fusion(june updated)

necrovalley :

Ｑ：:フィールド上に《王家の眠る谷－ネクロバレー》が存在するときに、《ドリル・ウォリアー》のスタンバイフェイズに自身を特殊召喚する効果が発動されました。
　　この場合、《ドリル・ウォリアー》の墓地のカードを手札に加える効果は無効になりますか？
Ａ：特殊召喚する効果と手札に加える効果は無効になり、《ドリル・ウォリアー》は除外されたままになります。（11/06/02）

if there is a face up necrovalley,necrovalley will negate the effect of drill warrior and drill warrior remain remove from play (because there is no such thing as negate part of the effect,when we negating a effect of the card,we negate the whole effect)

for future fusion :

Ｑ：《フォッシル・ダイナ パキケファロ》や《虚無魔人》が存在している場合、発動できますか？
Ａ：はい、発動できます、またスタンバイフェイズ時にも《フォッシル・ダイナ パキケファロ》などが存在する場合はこのカード効果で特殊召喚されず、このカードはフィールド上に残り続けます。(11/06/02)

when there is a face up card that will not allow you to special summon monster,you still can active future fusion. During your next 2 standby phase,if there is a effect that not allow you to special summon,future fusion just remain there.

Ｑ：モンスターカードゾーンに空きがない場合、発動できますか？
Ａ：はい、発動できます。(11/06/08)

when your monster's zone is full,you still can active future fusion.

this ruling sound more logic because that future fusion first effect is just a effect that WILL special summon monster(like macro cosmos,we actually can negate it with solemn warning) 2 turn later but did not perform any special summon's action.(that why we can active pot of duality during the turn you active future fusion)

just some...ruling bug (edited)

Ｎｏ(ナンバーズ).３９ 希望皇(きぼうおう)ホープ(starter deck 2011 exceed monster)

Ｑ：相手がこのカードに対し攻撃宣言しました。優先権はあちらにあるためその時に相手が《サイクロン》等を発動しました。この場合、スペルスピード１のこのカードの効果を発動できますか？
Ａ：いいえ、その場合発動することはできません。(11/03/20)

Q: Opponent declares attack to this card. Opponent has the priority to active MST. In this case, is it able to activate the effect of this card(the exceed monster) of speed spell 1?
A: no, the case is unable to be activated. (11/03/20)

old version ruling,now the new ruling is :

Ｑ：相手がこのカードに対し攻撃宣言しました。優先権はあちらにあるためその時に相手が《サイクロン》等を発動しました。この場合、スペルスピード１のこのカードの効果を発動できますか？

Ａ：その場合でもターンプレイヤーである相手はまずこのカードを攻撃を無効にする効果を発動するかどうか確認する必要があり、確認をせずに相手はチェーン１でスペルスピード２の《サイクロン》などの効果を発動すること自体できません。(11/03/20)(konami forgets to change the date?)

same question but answer is :
In this situation, you must ask your opponent whether he wants to active the effect to negate the attack(or any other trigger effect, speed spell 1 cards) or not,after that only you are allowed to chain speed spell 2 cards like MST.

for battle fader :

Ｑ：自分のモンスターが相手に攻撃を行いました。
　　この時点では優先権が自分にあるので、《サイクロン》を発動しました。
　　相手は、この《サイクロン》(スペルスピード２)にチェーンして《バトルフェーダー》(スペルスピード１)の効果を発動できますか？
Ａ：調整中。

　　なお、相手が《バトルフェーダー》の効果を発動する意志があることを表明した場合、そもそも自分がチェーン１で《サイクロン》を発動できるかどうか調整中。(11/03/20)

there is no answer yet,let just wait and see how konami will play with those ruling.

official ruling for pot of duality and future fusion(ocg)

Ｑ：このカードを発動したターン中に特殊召喚を行わないカード（《未来融合－フューチャー・フュージョン》など）を発動することは可能ですか？
Ａ：カードの発動であれば可能です。
ただし、発動してから２ターンが経過し、モンスターをフィールド上に特殊召喚した同一ターン中に《強欲で謙虚な壺》を発動する事はできません。(10/12/23)

answer :
you can active pot and future fusion at the same turn, but after 2 turn when the effect of future fusion resolve successfully,then you can't active pot for that turn

There is no more Colossal OTK ~T^T

Ｑ：《アームズ・エイド》を装備したモンスターが《ギガンテック・ファイター》を戦闘破壊しました。
　　チェーン１：《アームズ・エイド》、チェーン２：《ギガンテック・ファイター》とチェーンを組んだ場合、チェーン１の効果解決時に《ギガンテック・ファイター》は墓地に存在しませんが《アームズ・エイド》効果は適用されますか？
Ａ：いいえ、戦闘によって破壊されたモンスターが墓地に存在しない場合、適用されません。（10/12/22）


Why??
Because Colossal Fighter not in graveyard during Arm Aid resolve its effect...
SAD~!!!!!!

translation: when the player try to active the field card(天空の聖域),then opponent chain either cyclone or solemn judgment,can i chain 神罰?

Ａ：いいえ、その場合でも効果は適用されます。(10/12/11)

神秘の代行者 アース

Ｑ：《天空の聖域》が表側表示で存在する時に召喚して自身の効果を発動し、効果解決時に《天空の聖域》が存在しなくなった場合も《マスター・ヒュペリオン》をサーチできますか？
Ａ：いいえ、その場合「代行者」と名のついたモンスターだけを手札に加えることができます。(10/12/11)

for the 1st monster,if that field card is not at the field during the resolution of effect,you are not able to special summon that monster.(ps : discard 1 card from your hand either is cost or part of the effect we haven't knew yet because ruling haven't come out yet because the word 事で,if take bf kalut and honest as example,it most probably is cost)

for the 2nd monster,if that field card is not at the field during the resolution of effect,you only able to agent monster(mean that you can't search the boss)

black rose dragon:oh no i cant bom field anymore T_T

.....dragunity aklys got new ruling again

konami so love to play with ruling,here is the new ruling :

Ｑ：装備モンスターと同時にこのカードが破壊され墓地に送られた時、条件を満たせますか？
Ａ：はい、条件を満たせます。(10/09/11)

if the monster tat equip with aklys is destroy together with aklys(like black rose clear field,icarus target both of them) the aklys destroy 1 card still may active...

formula synchron and main phase

Ｑ：この効果による相手ターン中のシンクロ召喚を《神の宣告》で無効にできますか？
Ａ：チェーン１のタイミングでこの効果を発動し、シンクロモンスターをシンクロ召喚した場合なら、そのシンクロモンスターに《神の宣告》を発動することが可能です。（10/07/17）

mean if its effect active at C1 you can negate the special summon when the synchro monster is come out(same like urgent tuning and ultimate offering)

1 more main phase ruling

•メインフェイズ終了時、ターンプレイヤーが優先権を放棄した後、相手が何かクイックエフェクトを発動した場合、その効果処理後、引き続きメインフェイズが継続される。

◦例
メインフェイズにターンプレイヤーがカードをセット、その終了宣言時、相手が《サイクロン》で破壊した場合、引き続きメインフェイズが継続となり、改めてカードのセットなどの権利を得る。

mean when i changing my phase(mean passing priority) and opponent active quick effect card,after the effect resolve,i still remain at main phase,i still can set card / summon ++

this ruling is exist in wiki,mean this is official =D

Doom day for Dragunity...

R.I.P. to Dragunity....
new rulling for Dragunity Aklys..
If the monster equipped with Dragunity Aklys leave the field before the equipped card Dragunity Aklys...Dragunity Aklys's effect will not active...

WHY??

When the monster is remove from field...Dragunity Aklys not treat as equipped monster anymore..
So the effect is not apply...

No more Dragunity Laevatein combo with Dragunity Aklys...
When you see people remove from play monster equipping with Dragunity Aklys..and he want to use the effect of Dragunity Aklys...please stop him...(don't shoot la =) be polite~)


So...bye bye to Dragunity~

(Chinese)[A China guy phone to Japan Konami and ask..and it is confirmed]



**ShootingStar**

new rulinggggggggg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

just confirm by wiki(some china guy phone to jp and ask to get the answer)

dragunity aklys

if the monster equip with dragunity aklys LEAVE THE FIELD FIRST, ITS EFFECT WILL NOT ACTIVE !
(reason is because when the monster is remove from field,aklys is not treat as equiped monster anymore)

no more RFP 1 monster equip with iklys to special summon laevatein, and then destroy opponent card.

negate special summon

urgent tuning,ultimate offering

if both of this cards active at C1,after the effect resolve and summon 1 monster,the summon can be negate =)

wondering is formula synchron is in the same situation or not xD
ruling havent got yet
accel synchro? solemn you !

ruling...again?

During main phase 1,when the turn player decide to go into other phase,the priority will pass to opponent.IF opponent got active any card effect,the priority will pass back to the turn player and still remain at main phase 1 and the turn player still can play speed spell 1 cards and end main phase 1 go to other phase.

example :

turn player:
hand : fissure
field got 1 monster with 1500 attack

opponent:
lp : 1500
field only got 1 set card at spell/trap zone.

turn player declare battle,priority now pass to opponent.
opponent active embodiment of apophis.

now priority pass back to turn player,turn player play fissure and go in battle phase again and win the game.

saw this from other forum,welcome to comment if there are any mistake/any thing u want to ask

ruling time?

For the effect does not target :

trishula :
its effect does not target, why so many people love to choose the to be remove from play when it activate its effect? it should be choose at the resolution of the effect.

search card : rota,machina gearframe ++
many people love to chain bottomless trap hole after the player search the card...but actual ruling should be chain when the effect is activate,so you can call judge to give him 1 warning if he chain after you search the card or not to let him chain the card.

swap frog:
same case with example 2,you must chain when i activate the effect,so i can decide send card from field or from deck =)

Effect Veiler vs Gemini Monster

Interesting stuff,

You can negate Gemini's treated as NORMAL MONSTER's effect with Effect Veiler.
Yet Effect Veiler will negate de Gemini's whole effect till end phase.

Why do so then?

To prevent it from being a normal monster.

Why?

=p

Wonderful Book Of Moon Fat Version

Dimensional Prison:
If "Book of Moon" is used on an attacking monster, then that monster is no longer considered to be an attacking monster. Thus, if "Book of Moon" is Chained to an effect like "Dimensional Prison" or "Sakuretsu Armor" and changes the monster to face-down Defense Position, then the effect of "Sakuretsu Armor" does not resolves, so the attacking monster is not destroyed (or removed from play, and so on)

Refers to OCG ruling posted at Konami YGO FAQ section. Sakuretsu Armor.
http://yugioh.faq.konami.jp/EokpControl?&lang=en&tid=54674&event=FE0006


Battle Fader:
If "Battle Fader" is Special Summoned by its effect and then flipped face-down by an effect like "Book of Moon", then the effect "If this card is removed from the field, then it is removed from play." of "Battle Fader" is no longer applied.

Reference:
http://yugioh.faq.konami.jp/EokpControl?&lang=en&tid=52898&event=FE0006

Rekindling:
If a monster is Special Summoned by "Rekindling" and then flipped face-down by an effect like "Book of Moon", then the effect of "Rekindling" is no longer applied, so the monster will not be removed from play during the End Phase


Shiny Black "C":
If an effect like "Book of Moon" is chained to the effect of "Shiny Black "C"" so that the Synchro Monster is face-down when resolving the effect of "Shiny Black "C"", then "Shiny Black "C"" will not destroy the face-down monster.

Future Visions:
If "Book of Moon" is chained to the effect of "Future Visions" so that the monster is no longer face-up when "Future Visions" resolves, then the face-down monster is still removed from play. However, the monster will be removed from play face-up, because the monster removed from play by "Future Visions" is always removed from play face-up.

<=The most important of all=>
Priority:
When the Turn Player Sets a Spell/Trap/Monster Card by the effect of "Book of Moon"/"The Shallow Grave"/etc or from the hand, he may not use Priority to activate the Ignition Effect of a monster.
If the Turn Player does not use Priority to activate an Ignition or a Spell Speed 2+ Effect in response to the Set, then the opponent can activate a Spell Speed 2+ Effect in response to the Set.
Also, the Turn Player cannot Set multiple cards simultaneously - he must Set one, then pass Priority, and then Set the second, etc~

end,.,/.

Rulings oh Rulings.

========
Situation 1:
Player A declares attack with GB Laquari
Player B's backrow is empty with only one monster SET on the field.
Player A activates Compulsory Evacuation Device in respond to Laquari's attack to return Player B's set monster back to his hand.

So, what happen next is, can Player B respond to Laquari's direct attack with Battle Fader??

Situation 2:
If there's a set magic/trap on Player B's field, example like Dimensional Prison, can Player B activates it now in respond to Laquari's direct attack after the set monster is being returned to Player B's hand due to the activation of Compulsory Evacuation Device?

Or Player B must activate it as soon as Laquari declare its attack?
Do Player A has the priority to activate Compulsory Evacuation Device when he declares attack with Laquari?

Answers:
Compulsory Evacuation Device caused a changed in the number of monsters on Player B's field, a replay will occur - Player A will have to re-declare his attack with GB Laquari.

During a replay, only a reselection of attack target happens. It does not revert back to Attack Declaration. This results in both Battle Fader and Dimensional Prison being unable to fulfill the condition for activation.

Notes on Situation 2:
You can chain Dimensional Prison to Compulsory Evacuation Device when the opponent declares attack.


=====
Question 3:
When my opponent discard two Machina Fortress to the grave, can I Remove From Play the special summoned Machina Fortress with D.D. Crow when my opponent choose it?Or maybe i can only activates D.D. Crow's effect after Machina Fortress is being special summoned?

Answer:
For Question 3, the special summoning of Machina Fortress does not start a Chain Link, hence D.D. Crow cannot be activated in response. That is to say that the action of discarding two Machina Fortress to fulfill the summoning condition of one of them is a whole action and cannot be interrupted. This is similar to how you're unable to activate D.D. Crow in response to the Light/Dark monsters that were removed to fulfill the summoning condition of Chaos Sorcerer.


===
Situation:Player A used Brain Control to snatch Player B's Machina Gearframe and equip it to Player A's Machina Fortress.

Question:During end phase, will the Machina Gearframe return to Player B (owner)'s field?

Answer: No


========
Question:
Opponent activates Trap Dustshoot during Player A's draw phase, you see all the cards in opponents hand, can you write down in your notebook or small piece of paper everycard in his hand so you won't forget??

Answer:
Note taking is only for recording of Life Points.Not for recording of the content in opponent's hand.Right after revealing opponent's hand due to an effect, the cards in opponent's hand are no longer public knowledge.In this situation, recording of the content in opponent's hand is equivalent to revealing the content in opponent's hand for an extended period, this action is deemed to be unfair.

プライドの咆哮 & Honest

Thanks alot to Akira and 小謎 for answering my question~~
From->
http://www.konami-asia.com/th/yugi5d/forum/

Situation:
Player 1's Sangan attacks Player 2's Lightsworn Paladin Jean.
During damage calculation, Player 1 activate Prideful Roar,
Player 2 chain Honest.


Prideful Roar:
戦闘ダメージ計算時、自分のモンスターの攻撃力が相手モンスターより低い場合、その攻撃力の差分のライフポイントを払って発動する。ダメージ計算時のみ、自分のモンスターの攻撃力は相手モンスターとの攻撃力の差の数値＋３００ポイントアップする。
Activate only during damage calculation when the ATK of your battling monster is lower than the ATK of your opponent's, and pay Life Points equal to the difference in ATK. Your monster gains ATK equal to that difference +300 during damage calculation only.

Question:
1.How does the chain resolve?
2.How many LP does Player 1 need to pay?

Answer:
C1尊嚴的咆哮(此時已支付攻擊力差距為800的LP)
C2誠實處理1.誠實為聖騎士增加1000點(三眼怪當時的數值)攻擊力
2. 尊嚴的咆哮為三眼怪增加差距為1800點+300點的攻擊力結果, 攻擊力為3100的三眼怪與攻擊力為2800點的聖騎士進行戰鬥

Translated by Akira:
Chain 1: Prideful Roar (800LP paid as the activation cost)
Chain 2: HonestResolve1. Honest's effect increases Lightsworn Paladin Jean's ATK by 1000 (The ATK of Sangan at this moment).
2. Prideful Roar's effect increases Sangan's ATK by 1800 + 300.As a result, Sangan with ATK 3100 and Lightsworn Paladin Jean with ATK 2800 will conduct battle.

Ruling Reminder

Discarding 1 card and removing “Drill Warrior” from play are both part of the same Ignition Effect. Discarding the card is not a cost.

Drill Warrior: The resolution of "Drill Warrior" which removes it from play and the resolution which has you discard one card from your hand are considered to occur simultaneously. Thus, if you discard "Jinzo - Returner" with this effect, then you can Special Summon "Jinzo" from the Graveyard.

Gyzarus targets up to 2 cards.

Ultimate Psychicker
This card cannot be Special Summoned from your Extra Deck except by a Fusion Summon.


Juz some plain reminder to myself.

Drill Warrior Q on Direct Atk

To Alpreme who doesn't understand what i'm explaining.
Straight from Yugioh Asia Forum.
Get it?

End././

Drill Warrior again again again!!

Halving drill warrior's attack----
IT's NOT A COST

The effect of "Drill Warrior" which halves its ATK gives it the ability to attack directly.

The effect does not force "Drill Warrior" to attack directly during that turn's Battle Phase, so "Drill Warrior" can still attack a monster.

SO:

Halving drill warrior's attack = Ignition Monster Effect

Direct attack = Optional Trigger Effect

Get it??
