Yu-Gi-Oh! Rulings Questions


Recommended Posts

Geargiano only negates the effect of the Summoned monster while its on the field.

Arsenal lets you Tribute itself, so its no longer on the field, to use the effect, which resolves in the Graveyard.

Its basically the same as using Skill Drain while I control Exiled Force.

 

So I'm allowed to go: Arsenal -> Giano(Deck) -> Arsenal(Grave) -> Giano(Deck) -> Arsenal(same one) -> etc, right?

 

Neither Arsenal or Giano have rulings pages.

People on DN(Yea, I know) think I'm cheating when I do this, despite the fact I'm positive Giano + Arsenal work that way.

My move is correct, right?

That's because the ruling would follow Debris Dragon and Lonefire, not Skill Drain.

 

The restriction is a condition, not an effect, no?

I think it's in line with Junk Synchron, Tour Guide, and Debris Dragon. Effects that activate or apply on the Field are negated. If the effect ACTIVATES in the Grave or RFG zone, it wont be negated.

 

Darkwolf happened to recently clarify that effects that activate on the Field still consider the effects to resolve on the Field, even if the card isn't, and those cards only dodge Skill Drain because Skill Drain specifically states to negate the effects of faceup monsters.

 

So I'd say your move is NOT legal, because Geargiano should negate effects that activate or apply on the Field, even if the monster leaves the Field as a cost.

No it does not. Read the text carefully:

its effects on the field are negated.

It has been proven countless times that an effect resolves where it activates. Geargiano says nothing about the monster, only the effect, so if the effect activates on the field, it resolves on the field and as such will be negated by Geargiano.

 

If it had said "its effects are negated while face-up on the field" THEN it would work like Skill Drain. As of now it works like Debris and Junk.

@Above: But if the effect stays negated, then why does Giano include that extra bit of text? Which is why I'm thinking its different :/

 

Hornet's destruction effect is treated as that of an equip spell card,so sojo can negate it.

Sojo doesn't negate, though.

It just prevents them from being destroyed.

By Spell/Trap effects, which Hornet's effect would be considered as I suppose.

 

And is this what you were taking about Aggro?

When?

How many other cards that negate effects (Debris, etc) have been reprinted since they started the Problem-Solving Card Text? I think it mentions the Field so people dont think effects that activate in the Grave, such as Sangan, are negated.

When?

Except for a certain little bee.

Then

Does Safe Zone negate an opponent's Equip Cards targeting the selected monster?

Also, can you switch the target into Defense later and have it retain safety?

Safe Zone negates nothing. It prevents targeting, but cannot prevent cards that have already targetted. So Safe Zone does nothing to already activated equips.

 

Also, yes you can. Safe Zone requires the monster to be in attack on activation, doesn't need any more than that.

I read over your convo in the admin chat and I hate to say it Dem, but unless Konami retracts its statement from that email they showed it is multi-chainable :/

I'm refusing to believe Konami in this instance. From what I saw, they gave no real proof that it was multi-chainable, they simply said "It's Galaxy-Eyes". That's not proof at all.

Galaxy-Eyes has always been a single-chain effect.

According to Konami it's always been a multi-chain effect.

 

There's really nothing to do but email Konami.

 

Wait. Hold on. Explain what you mean when you say that it's multichainable.

Activate more than once in a single chain.
