Can I activate the effect of Tragoedia to steal a monster while macro cosmos is on the field?

 

No. Tragoedia "sends to the Graveyard" as a cost, which you cannot fulfill while Macro/D-Fissure is on the field.

 

I have D-Fissure active. Can my opponent mill w/ a lightsworn effect, and If they can, what happens?

 

Lightsworn milling is mandatory, and it's an effect. They must do it.

 

If a monster would be milled, it is RFGed instead.

Hypothetical question, since I can't remember the name of the card that does this: Let's say a monster that when destroys a monster by battle banishes another monster from the opponent's deck (and it's mandatory) with the same name, attacks a Reborn Tengu (and there is only one more RT in the opponent's deck). What happens?

I Monster Reborn a Gemini monster, then I Gemini Summon it. Is it still treated as being Special Summoned? Or as Normal Summoned?

 

It was still Special Summoned, so it will still be destroyed by Special Hurricane and similar. It was also Normal Summoned, so you can use Trap Hole.

I dont think there is a card that does this, but okay. It will depend on the wording of the card.

 

If it says "When this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle, banish...", then it will banish Reborn Tengu immediately after destroying the one on the field. Tengu will then be sent to the Graveyard/RFG/whatever, and activate there. There are no more copies in the deck, so nothing happens.

 

However, if it says "When this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle and sends it to the Graveyard...", then the two effects will start a chain when Tengu hits the Graveyard. Turn Player mandatory effect will be Chain Link 1. Opp mandatory effect will be Chain Link 2. Resolving backwards, a Tengu will be Summoned from the deck. There are no more Tengu in the deck to banish, so Chain Link 1 resolves with no effect.

Is detaching a card from an Xyz considered destroying or sending it to the Graveyard?

 

Someone brought up a valid point, if you used 2 crystal beasts to bring out an Xyz, and detached it, would it be sent to the Spell/Trap card Zone or Graveyard?

 

IMO, I hope its the graveyard, then you could utilise the trap card better.....

The TCG ruling has changed. Materials are no longer considered on the field, just FYI.

 

But the answer is "sending to the Graveyard", and definitely not "destroying". Dandylion will activate.

Just thought of a random situation. Say your opponent has treeborn in their grave and you have Doomcaliber Knight in attack mode and Debunk set on your field. So on their standby when they activate treeborn's effect, can you use Debunk before Doomcal would activate or would Doomcal immediatley chain? I suck at spell speeds obv

I'm almost sure Doomcal will activate before because it's absolutely mandatory.

@Evil Fusion....So, if they are not on the field, then where are they technically speaking? If no where, so does Black hole wipe out the exceed, but the materials remain useless taking up the Zone? Just makes it so much more confusing......

 

Dadylion would work, well, thats good news....

 

They're not on the field for all purposes involving the field. They don't "leave the field" for the purposes of Sangan, Plague, Tengu, etc. They don't count as being on the field for Secret Barrel. They are, however, attached to the Xyz monster. When the Xyz leaves the field, the Materials are sent to the Graveyard.

 

It's not that complicated, really.

Doomcaliber must immediately chain because it's mandatory.

Quick hypothetical question: Could a Synchro Monster technically be a Gemini?

 

I suppose from a purely theoretical standpoint, it could be, but we've yet to have any Synchro/Secondary type monster (Spirit/Union/Gemini/etc), so as far as a custom card goes, it's fair game, but it'd be kind of weird.

 

For one, Gemini Monsters are treated as Normal Monsters while on the Field and Graveyard, which would revoke its Synchro status in the face of things like Machine Emperors or cards like Lost Star Descending. It also only has an effect that is active by using up your Normal Summon on it.

Hmm...perhaps the Synchro-Subtype revoking could be fixed by treating it as a non-Effect Synchro, instead of a Normal Monster. I'm curious if you could actually Normal Summon a Synch though.
