you might be onto something there... I never understood that ruling on Solemn Judgement. I mean, you can't CHAIN to the summoning of Jinzo, so Jinzo is already on the field. So how can you suddenly turn over and activate Solemn Judgement? How is it that, even though Jinzo is now completely...

Nonono, not chaining Magic Jammer/Magic Drain to Spell Absorptions effect -- chaining it to the other spell that was activated. That's where you're not understanding the issue. Magic Jammer jams the original spell card and so therefore, according to ruling #2, Spell Absorption didn't give you...

Yes, there definitely is a contradiction. But in essence, I agree with John. The first ruling is focused on the fact that you cannot chain to the effect of Spell Absorption. But the timing as to when you gain the life points seems a bit off, contradicted by ruling 2 which specifically shows that...

No, Chillout, you misunderstand. If you skip "the second standby phase" then the next one is the third standby phase, and Dust Barrier will no longer be removed from the field due to its own effect, regardless of how many more standby phases you have afterwards.

Very nice card. I don't have a water deck, but I do have two of him in my deck. Scenario 1: Opponent sacrifices their only two monsters to bring on a super high level beast. Attacks the face down card. "AAAEEEIIGGH!" Hahahaha. Scenario 2: Opponent has Tribe Infecting Virus on the...

Even in this case, it is chosen at resolution. "Targeting" is really an activation associated term.

Well, I'm not a judge, so my opinion won't count for anything. But I like to stick my opinion where it doesn't belong, so here's what I would do: Situation 1: Banter is part of the game and should not be discouraged. It makes it fun. You wouldn't taking bluffing out of poker, would you...

Where do you find this "simple game mechanic" that allow you to attack your opponent's lps if there is no monster at which to target your attack? The rules say: That text above, straight from the UDE website, very specifically says it will inflict direct damage only if the opposing player...

Uhm, fine, but that doesn't explain it in terms of game mechanics. There is no such thing as a monster being "invisible" in game mechanics. And monsters don't say "hey, attack me not him" to another monster in game mechanics. I know you are trying to bring this to a level of realism, but in...

This is one of a collection of rulings that seem to contradict each other. The Legendary Fisherman says it cannot be targetted, so your opponent can target your life points directly as long as there isn't another monster on your side of the field. This despite the fact that the manual says you...

and it's interesting that they use the word "may"... Suggests that you could place them face down in the s/t zone if you wanted to as well.

from the manual: They may be placed face-down in the Field Card Zone, but will not be activated until flipped face-up.

So is that it? We're just simply not going to get an actual answer? Then I hope that the next nationals will have an endless loop in it (that will probably just result in the card being banned -- which doesn't help those of us that play unrestricted or traditional format).

I like that solution too, DJ. You can get away with just nullifying one like I suggested, but nullifying all of them seems just as fair -- and a clever way to temporarily disable Pole Position :D

Rats, well I got that one wrong. So the controller of Ectoplasmer gets to decide when his effect will activate during end phase, not the person who has to do the tributing. And that makes perfect sense to me that the controller of the card would always get to decide whether or not the effect...

I think my other Muka Muka was a bad example. Here's another example: Player A has Zombyra on the field who has previously attacked (ATK = 1900), and a face up Pole Position. Player B has a face up Muka Muka equipped with Axe of Despair, no cards in hand (ATK = 1600) Player B also has a face...

that doesn't seem right. [edit: Bad Muka Muka example removed] Sometimes a loop will occur without any planning or knowledge that it'll happen. That's why a process needs to be figured out for coming up with equilibrium once a loop starts. That solves all of the problems, and I again stand by...

Right as I was editing it too to add that in... :D

Tribute this card to Special Summon 1 "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" from your hand. As long as he is face up, there are no restrictions (except that it has to be during your main phase) on when you can use his effect to tribute the card to special summon BEWD. Edit: Geesh, you wait a minute before...

Played another way (illegal, but let's say this was legal to see what happens) Player B does not have Muka Muka equipped with Axe of Despair yet. Player B draws Muka Muka gains ATK from draw due to his effect, but it is still not more than Gemini. Player B equips Muka Muka with Axe of Despair...
