Recommended Posts

In case the image doesn't work:  

 

Once per turn, during your opponent's main phase or your opponent's battle phase, you can:  Immediately after this card resolves, tribute summon one monster.  

 

Well that escalated quickly.  

 

Discuss.

Risa, Thestalos is in the bottom-left, with Mobius on the bottom-right. Granmarg is behind Thestalos and Raiza is behind Mobius.

 

So... what do we do with this card after we use it? Since, from what I'm reading, you only get one use. Honestly it would've been better as a Normal Trap.

So what are the things things that can/can't be used with it that warrant that wording?

 

Upon studying the text a little bit, the wording seems a bit more understandable.

 

"Once per turn, during your opponent's Main Phase or Battle Phase, you can:" - This part is very easy to understand and isn't awkward. The reason "you can" is before the colon is you aren't required to activate the effect if it's already face-up, and activating the effect starts a chain.

 

"Immediately after this effect resolves, Tribute Summon 1 monster". - A little more awkwardly worded, but still quite clear. The card's effect has to successfully resolve to Tribute Summon. This is already inherent to most Continuous cards, but if something chains to make it impossible to perform a Tribute Summon, the effect fails to resolve.

 

Also, it's telling you that you perform the Summon at the time of resolution. It doesn't give you an additional Normal Summon, nor the ability to Tribute Summon anytime during the opponent's Main Phase/Battle Phase after resolving, but specifically at the timing you activate and resolve the effect.

does this have the ability to chain higher than link 1? and therefore allow you respond to activations and playing of cards? I just want to make sure on that, because if it's only that 1.5 deal wher it's at the end-start of  phase moment, it's kinda weak then.

 

Well its a Trap, so I would assume so...

Oh we understand it fine, it just seems more awkward than it needs to be. Though maybe it's because I'm still annoyed by the grammar.
