Why so much confusion over Quasar's effect? Its negation effect is a Quick Effect. Of course it can be used during an opponent's turn. If you're confusing it for an Ignition Effect somehow, which would make it Spell Speed 1, you would never be able to use it, no matter whose turn it was.

 

Once per turn means just that: Once per turn. It does not define the type of effect it is or if it can be used on an opponent's turn. On its own, Quasar's effect is one that negates whenever "a card or effect is activated". It specifically states when it can be activated. Cards and Effects can be activated during your turn, as well as an opponent's turn. When first looking at this card, you should assume that it DOES work during both player's turns, rather than it doesn't.

Does Ananta destroy itself if there are no other cards on the field?

 

Yes, the effect is mandatory. If Ananta is all that's left on the field, it'll be forced to destroy itself.

 

My opponent is running Xyz Gadgets (you know who you are ;) ) and since TCG Xyz rulings have materials on the field, will System Down Banish all Gadgets that are materials?

 

I really don't want to and kinda refuse to rule on anything TCG related at this time in regards to Xyz =.= The rulings are so ass-backwards and the TCG doesn't know how to rule something like this.

 

If I had to give an answer, my guess would be no, as Xyz Materials shouldn't have a Type either, but again, TCG is lame right now in regards to Xyz.

I see. Thanks for that.

 

Q.

I have Wonder Magician and Skill Drain on the field (just an example lol), and if Wonder Magician is destroyed, do I draw a card or is it negated?

 

I'm unsure because Wonder Magician does not state "and sent to the graveyard".

 

You will get the effect, even if it was Bottomless Trap Hole'd and even if the opponent has Skill Drain.

Interaction between Archfiend Soldier as an Xyz Material and Falling Down? Would Falling Down be destroyed?

 

The rulings are still very confusing. Tewart said that the Xyz Materials are on the field, but I don't think the equip spell would stay...

 

Hard to say. Best to wait for evilfusion/darkwolf

No. Kevin also confirmed that Xyz Materials are not monsters anymore. They will be immune to Type-affecting cards

 

I see. Thanks for that.

Be very careful with this one.

 

Wonder Magician's effect activates immediately when it is destroyed, same as Voltic Bicorn. If it was destroyed in battle, it will activate before being sent to the Graveyard, because being sent to the Graveyard is not part of the Trigger (Flip Effects also activate like this, they activate on the field, even if they died in battle), so Skill Drain would negate it.

 

However, if it is destroyed by a card effect, it will activate in the Graveyard/RFG zone (Bottomless).

...the TCG rulings really are crap.

 

I'm unfortunately inclined to say Falling Down won't self-destruct, because Xyz Materials are considered to be on the field. And they have to be face-up, otherwise Tengu wouldn't go off, and Falling Down only requires an Archfiend "card".

 

Which continues to beg the question for me whether Xyz Materials count towards Secret Barrel's burn damage.

I don't REALLY mind the idea of "Xyz Materials are on the field", aside from Tour Guide/Sangan abuse, but some things are still really unclear. Like if they're treated as being on the field, do their names still matter, since technically, Overlaid monsters are supposed to be stacked in a neat pile, one on top of the other, with the Xyz on top (DN has them side-stacked, so you can see each individual card).

 

So according to the OCG and the technical rules of the mechanic, the Overlaid monsters are "face-up", but you can't see them unless it's the top Overlaid card and the Xyz is in DEF, so their names shouldn't apply. This needs to be cleared up. In the OCG, you would not be able to use Falling Down with an Overlaid Archfiend Soldier, because Overlaid monsters are not considered to be on the field, and therefore the shenanigans don't exist.

 

So actually, I'm skeptical on my previous comment. On DN, the Archfiend Soldier is easily identified and considered to be on the field. In live duels, this would not really be true, if you're following the mechanic rules to the letter.

Yeah, it's very annoying. I'd like if they did count for Falling Down, or Secret Barrel, or Phoenix Bomb, but if they at least make their mind, it'll be better.
