Yu-Gi-Oh! Rulings Questions

[Nathanael D. Striker]

 

TCG and OCG rulings on Xyz monsters are consistent. If a monster would be banished when it "leaves the field", it's not banished when overlaid, nor when detached. For same reason, Tengu doesn't work with Xyz.

 

Revised as in TCG and OCG matching Remember the Tour Guide + Sangan Epidemic under the old TCG ruling?

[Northern Sage]

Does the normal Semi-Nomi clause for extra deck monsters count Special Summoning from the graveyard when it has been out on the field? (Cannot be Special Summoned except by X Summon, where X is the type of summoning required).

[Dementuo]

Unless a Synchro/Fusion/Xyz has been summoned properly first, then it can be revived through any ordinary means.

[Blake]

Not sure what sage is asking

 

If it says:

 

Cannot be Special Summoned except by Fusion Summon

No

 

Must be Fusion Summoned with the above Fusion materials

Yes

 

Cannot be Special Summoned except by Fusion Summon (From the Extra Deck)

Yes

Skill Drain doesn't effect monsters being SS'd from the hand by their own effects right? (like Bora or Gale)

[Blake]

Correct

[evilfusion]

Watch the wording of Fusions and Synchros. If it says it "cannot be Special Summoned except by..." (almost all Ehero Fusions) then you cannot Special Summon by anything other than a Fusion Summon, even if you properly Summoned it.

 

If it says "Can only be Special Summoned by..." (Most Synchro Fusions) then it can, but it can only be SSed from the Extra Deck by the indicated method, and only if it was properly Summoned can you revive it later.

 

If it says "A Fusion Summon of this card can only be performed using the above Materials", then you can still use cards like Metamorphosis (which doesn't count as a Fusion Summon, so no revival later), but if you Fusion Summon it, it has to use the exact Materials mentioned, no substitutes.

 

Skill Drain doesn't effect monsters being SS'd from the hand by their own effects right? (like Bora or Gale)

 

Skill Drain explicitly states it only negates the effects of face-up monsters on the field. The hand is not the Field, so any effects or Special Summon conditions are not negated.

I use Phantom of Chaos and copy Junk Synchron's name. Then Summon a level 1 monster.

 

Can I Synchro Summon Junk Warrior?

[Northern Sage]

It doesn't count as a Tuner Monster, so you can't.

[Ieyasu Tokugawa]

It doesn't count as a Tuner Monster, so you can't.

But Junk Warrior doesn't say it needs a Tuner, it says it needs Junk Synchron. Does the tuner thing still apply?

[Northern Sage]

Quote from lolwiki (It may be wrong though, since it lists a requirement that needs both DNA Surgery and DNA Transplant without mentioning either)

"When "Neo-Spacian Dark Panther" or "Phantom of Chaos" has its name changed to "Junk Synchron", you can only use it as a Synchro Material Monster for "Junk Warrior" if it becomes a Tuner monster with "Lightwave Tuning"."

[Ieyasu Tokugawa]

Wiki's not a reliabl*shot several times*

 

Damn, I was hoping to f*ck with rules there XD

[evilfusion]

The requirements to perform a Synchro Summon is to use the Synchro Materials, including a Tuner. In most cases, the use of a Tuner is specifically stated.

 

Another ruling in this vein is that you can use Phantom of Chaos to copy Majestic Dragon, and if Stardust is treated as a Tuner, you can Synchro Summon Majestic Star Dragon. Stardust or the Phantom would have to be treated as a Tuner, because the remaining Material is specifically a non-Tuner.

 

Junk Warrior requires a Junk Synchron and non-Tuners. Junk Synchron must be the Tuner, or else there are no Tuners being involved, which means you cannot perform a Synchro Summon at all.

Could someone tell me what the big deal about Match Winners is? (If there is any.)

[Blake]

You win 2 games for the price of one

[Ieyasu Tokugawa]

You win 2 games for the price of one

I thought it was just poor sportsmanship because scooping was spell speed 2, and could be done right as they attacked with the monster.

[Northern Sage]

Ah, okay.

Can I use an Xyz monster as a Synchro Material monster?

[CDDRodrigo]

Can I use an Xyz monster as a Synchro Material monster?

 

No, Xyz monsters don't have Levels.

[Northern Sage]

What happens if you banish the materials for Future Fusion for, for example, Black Luster Soldier-Envoy of the beginning?

[Expelsword]

What happens if you banish the materials for Future Fusion for, for example, Black Luster Soldier-Envoy of the beginning?

You summon Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning.

Future Fusion keeps going.

[Northern Sage]

If both Everliving Underworld Cannon and Zombie World are out on your side of the field, does the burn effect still occur when the opponent Special Summons a monster?

[evilfusion]

If both Everliving Underworld Cannon and Zombie World are out on your side of the field, does the burn effect still occur when the opponent Special Summons a monster?

 

Underworld Cannon says the monster has to be Summoned to your side of the field. If your opponent Special Summons a Zombie monster to your Field (Ojama Trio, Lava Golem, etc), then Cannon will activate.

If Grand Mole attacks Catastor, who wins?

 

If Grand Mole attacks Catastor, who wins?

[evilfusion]

Catastor is a mandatory Effect. Grand Mole is optional. Mandatory effects are ALWAYS on the chain before optional effects, so Grand Mole will always resolve first.
