Priority Ruling Change

This will bring mixed feelings. I personally don't care because all my monsters are Ignition anyway (in my Monarchs anyway). Other people that run stuff like DAD and JD will be sad. LS are dead now. Gadgets and Monarchs are now even better. Book of Moon's limit makes sense. Overall I like, but it will take getting used to.

and it will make solemn warning cheaper.

Said someone who doesn't understand priority.

I guess it's good...I don't know...this is a really fundamental change of rules, so it's hard to say.

Why does Book's Limit make sense now? Yes, it's better, but...

I understand it just fine.
The big reason why people run Warnings is because it negates the summon, meaning a monster was never on the field so it cannot call priority.
If BTH, (a card not evereyone ran the max of all the time) can accomplish the same thing, demand for Warning will go down.

Solemn Warning and Judgment are still the best at what they do, and BTH wont stop Triggers, but when's the last time someone Solemn Warning'd a Gadget?

Next Banlist has Bottomless Trap Hole @1, Trap Hole @2, and Darkness Approaches @1.
Yep, called it.

Wow, a smart person.

But, despite this, people do Solemn Warning Monarchs so that's where you're not entirely wrong. But this ruling will make Bottomless still see more play.

Well this is embarrassing.

I thought you meant "cheaper" as in "more gooder", not "less expensive". Sorry.

...Which was the point of that argument.
Person 1) Bottomless now stops most monster effects Solemn stopped - nobody Solemn's a Gadget
Person 2) People Solemn Monarchs, though

Then you sound like you're insulting person 2 for thinking Bottomless stops Monarchs...

Too lazy to scroll up and check names.

This is going to screw up alot of the game, mainly in balancing.

I really hope this is false.

Do you have any specific examples of how this will mess up balancing?

In cases like DAD and JD, this is a good thing, severely weakening their brokenness. Lonefire also gets a bit weaker.

But things like Exiled Force get completely cheated. Uria loses its main advantage.

I personally like it.
It gives accountability. No longer can someone use up a handful of resources and special summon a big monster and have it guarantee (minus Solemn) to do damage.
Or in some cases, (DAD, JD) give up absolutely no resources and clear the field. The game should be based in strategy. The recent run of special summoned monsters hardly use any.
Sure, some cards will get screwed over, but I feel that it's a necessary evil.
However that being said, I really feel Heavy Storm never should have been banned.
People need to be able to be punished for over extending their reach.

And at this point I'm pretty sure this has been proven that it's going to happen. In the OCG at least. And when's the last time TCG didn't follow suit? The only question is if it will happen at the same time as the OCG, or if it'll happen when Zexall hits TCG

I'm wondering, if my opponent goes to summon Shi En, I can now bottomless it?
[/quote]

Shi En is a Quick Effect, not an Ignition Effect. An Ignition Effect is one the player chooses to activate during their Main Phase, such as Exiled Force, Lonefire Blossom, Breaker's S/T destruction effect, the Machine Emperors' Synchro absorption, Zombie Master's revival, etc.

The main difference is that, instead of Summoning such monsters and immediately activating the effect before opponent can respond, you have to wait until the Summon was responded to (cards like Torrential, Book, Trap Hole, etc). This will prevent you from pushing an effect through even if the monster would be destroyed upon Summoning.
