Father Wolf Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 During my hobby league tournament last weekend, 1 of our 3 judges made an important announcement about a new ruling on Shrink, effective that day. (no im not BSing u) RulingFor monsters like "Chimeratech Overdragon", "Megarock Dragon" and "Great Maju Garzett" whose original ATK is set when they are Summoned, "Shrink" will set those monster('s) ATK back to 0; this becomes the monster's current ATK and doesn't change even after End Phase. Is there any truth to this ruling or are my judges on crack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exiro Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Is there any truth to this ruling or are my judges on crack. It's not the judges who are on crack, they are simply following these new rulings.It's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiff! Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 i hope your judges are not on crack.this ruling,'tis good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
werewolfjedi Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 my judges came up with the same ruling, and personally, i feel they are wrong if it says the original ATK on the card, that's the number that gets doubled from power bond, limiter removal, mega morph, and other cards like that, and they work correctly. why should one that is halved become 0? it doesn't make sense.

Skuldur Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 i hope this is true but it won't affect the meta in anyway since no competitive deck runs those cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iAmNateXero Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Dudes? That was the old ruling... Here is the new ruling. "Shrink" has no effect on monsters whose original ATK is indefinite and whose effects don't set an original ATK' date=' like "Maju Garzett," "Option" and "Gren Maju Da Eiza". For monsters like "Chimeratech Overdragon", "Megarock Dragon" and "UFOroid Fighter" whose original ATK is set when they are Summoned, "Shrink" will halve that value.[/quote'] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaliceBloodlust Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 * This card can be activated during the Damage Step, before Damage Calculation. * If a monster affected by "Shrink" is turned face-down and face-up again that turn, the effect of "Shrink" is no longer applied. * Even if a monster is targeted by multiple copies of "Shrink", its ATK will still be half of its original ATK. For example, if a monster with 1400 original ATK is affected by 2 copies of "Shrink", its ATK will be 700 NOT 350. * The effect of "Shrink" works like "Megamorph", setting a new current ATK based on original ATK. If the same monster is targeted by both "Shrink" and "Megamorph", only the effect of the card that resolved last will be applied. * If a monster's ATK is modified by a Field or Equip Spell Card, or a Continuous Effect of a monster or Trap Card, etc.,and it is targeted by "Shrink", first calculate half of its original ATK, then add the appropriate modifiers from the Equip Spell, etc. * "Shrink" has no effect on monsters whose original ATK is indefinite and whose effects don't set an original ATK, like "Maju Garzett", "Gradius' Option" and "Gren Maju Da Eiza". * For monsters like "Chimeratech Overdragon", "Megarock Dragon" and "UFOroid Fighter" whose original ATK is set when they are Summoned, "Shrink" will halve that value. * If a monster like "King of the Skull Servants", whose original ATK varies, is affected by "Shrink", its ATK will become half of its original ATK at the time "Shrink" resolved. If its ATK changes by its own effect in the same turn, recalculate the effect of "Shrink" based on the new original ATK. * If "Shrink" affects a monster whose ATK is doubled by "Limiter Removal", that monster's ATK will become half of its original (printed) ATK. * If "Bottomless Trap Hole" is activated in response to a Summon and "Shrink" is chained so that the monster's ATK is less than 1500 when "Bottomless Trap Hole" resolves, that monster will not be destroyed and removed from play by "Bottomless Trap Hole". * If a monster affected by "Shrink" attacks while "Mirror Wall" is in play, both effects are applied and the monster's ATK becomes 1/4 its original ATK. Because "Mirror Wall" continually recalculates, the result is the same no matter which card is activated first. * If a monster whose ATK is reduced by "Dark Jeroid" is affected by "Shrink", first calculate half that monster's original ATK, then subtract 800 for "Dark Jeroid's" effect; this becomes the monster's current ATK. * If "Exarion Universe" is targeted by "Shrink", its ATK will become half of its original ATK, even if its effect to reduce its own ATK by 400 has been used.

Skuldur Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 WTF was the point of that post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinobiDark72 Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 True, My Judges said the same thing and even had an official printout to prove it, also, I've known about this for over a week. I think they're weird rulings, but I guess it did make Shrink better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Max Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Now this is a nice change! "RAWR! I Attack you with my 16000 ATK Chimeratech!" "I activate Shrink!" "HA! It's still 8000! You're finished!" "Nope. There's a new rule now your Dragon now has 0 ATK!" "NOOOOOOOOO!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrabHelmet Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 I'm fairly sure that that's an old ruling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
「tea.leaf」 Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Great Maju Garzett has 0 original ATK, so Shrink would not affect it in any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PikaPerson01 Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 If I recall correctly, that has always been the ruling. Same as Megamorph-ing them. It drops to zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orochi Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 I'm fairly sure that that's an old ruling. this... also is an unnefective rule i must say, nobody is stupid enough to play chimeratech BEFORE playing heavy storm... or do they??
