Master Hyperion Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 If I play Interdimensional Matter Transporter on my Destiny Hero - Plasma, does it return to the field during the End Phase. Because I'm still confused that Interdimensional Matter Transporter actually Special Summons Plasma or just "returns" Plasma to the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the equipped card will be sent to the Graveyard because it has no legal target. Plasma won't regain his atk bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parting Shot Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 I haz a TCG ruling question (*shock* can it be? yes it is :P). I was PM'd today by a member who had a question about one of the DS Yu-Gi-Oh! games and a ruling from it. He said that he had a face-up Skill Drain on his field, and yet his opponent was still able to swap the Gladiator Beast monsters in his GB deck with no problem, though their gained effects did get negated. He was wondering if this was an actual ruling or a glitch in the game. I didn't really know what to tell him so I'm wondering the same thing. I checked the wiki for Skill Drain rulings, and the only one I found that could explain this was the section about trigger effects. It said that trigger effects still activate but are negated while the monster remains on the field, and that for monsters that remove themselves from the field for their effects (such as tributing Cannon Soldier for his own effect, or the effect of Exiled Force) don't get negated cuz the monster isn't on the field anymore (which makes sense). So, my question is, is the swapping effect of GB monsters a trigger effect and that's why it doesn't get negated by Skill Drain, or is it an error in the game?

Yes, the swapping is an optional trigger effect. No, that's not why it doesn't get negated by Skill Drain. No, it's not an error in the game. Skill Drain doesn't prevent cards from activating.Instead, it waits for the card to activate and when it does, it check if the card is face-up on the field or not.Since returning a GB to the deck is a cost for it to Special Summon another one from the deck, it's not on the field after it activated, so it's not face-up after it activated, so it's not negated by Skill Drain. I'm happy to answer your first and maybe only Ruling question ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exiro Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 My opponent activates the effect of Sea Koala to make Fusilier's atk 0.I activate Skill Drain later that turn.Does Fusilier's atk become 2800 or does it stay 0?

JesusofChaos™ Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 When a monster's ATK or DEF are changed by its own effect, like "Slate Warrior" or "Berserk Dragon", and "Skill Drain" is activated, that monster's effect is negated and the ATK/DEF are returned to normal. Even if "Skill Drain" is then destroyed, the old adjustment to ATK/DEF does not come back. Any bonuses or penalties are lost when "Skill Drain" effect is applied, and you have to start over from the beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsuki ni Mau Majin Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 I've noticed the line up of the Zombie Structure which is to be released soon. I understand using DDC is kind of stupid, but if a player activates Allure of Darkness, or in this case, DDC, while Imperial Iron Wall is face-up on the field, does Allure's (or DDC's) effect resolve?

iAmNateXero Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 If you activate Allure, and some one chains Iron wall, no cards will be removed, HOWEVER, if you do have a Dark monster you must show that monster to your opponent, other wise, you drop your hand. Also, if Iron wall is already face up, you can not activate Allure. Please, to further help you, what does DDC mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Hyperion Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 I have a face-up Plasma and my opponnet has a face-down FLIP effect monster. If the face-down FLIP effect monster is flipped face-up by an attack and destroyed by battle, does it effect work or is it negated by Plasma?

I would say yes I would have to add it depends on the scenario. For example, Dark Jeroid. Lets say it effects a monster, dropping its atk. Lets also say Dark Jeroid is still face up on the field. I will verify shortly, but it seams to me that its effect is continuous. However, If Dark Jeroid is no longer face up, I don't believe the ATK of that monster returns to normal. [spoiler=Dark Jeroid effect]When this card is Normal Summoned, Flip Summoned, or Special Summoned successfully, select 1 face-up monster on the field. As long as the monster remains face-up on the field, decrease its ATK by 800 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarbleZone Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 Sakuretsu and Synchros: 1 - If Stardust attacks and my opponent activates Saku, can I chain the attacking Stardust's effect and send it to the Graveyard so it won't be destroyed? 2 - Same situation with Thought Ruler: can I pay 1000 LPs with the attacking Ruler's effect to negate Saku? If so, can that same Thought Ruler resume the attack afterwards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsuki ni Mau Majin Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Eheh. I'm sure this has been asked, but I'm unsure the exact rulings on Synchro monsters. When Synchro summoning, do the total level of the monsters being Synchroed have to be exact to the Synchro monster itself? Or can it be greater?

iAmNateXero Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 ^I will verify, But im almost positive it has to be exact. Edit: Confirmed. http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/COMMUNITY/forums/thread/1507708.aspxYes. The Synchro summon has to be an exact match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
