Like I said, he's presuming to know what an entire group of people is going to have to do. He doesn't even know what they're thinking in the first place, he has no idea what, or if, they'll have to change in their thinking. I didn't say that he was talking about me. I only said that he...

I'm not sure where Middle Earth is, but he suggested it in the post I quoted. Maybe he wasn't talking about me specifically, but either way, it's a little presumptuous to decide what either group of people is going to have to do if we ever find out the way UDE/Konami would rule this.

This is also kind of presumptuous. What makes you think that I'll have to rethink anything? You only know what I've posted, not everything that I think. I can see it from both sides, which is why I asked the question in the first place.

Awfully presumptuous... There have been plenty of others that have agreed that "End of Anubis" should have no power over the effect that "Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude" activates from the Graveyard. :P lol

"D - Chain" increases ATK...

While you can't chain "Magic Jammer" to it, the card is still activating. It's triggering itself when it hits the Graveyard, just like "Mystic Tomato" or "Dark Coffin". They all produce effects because they activate in the Graveyard. "The End of Anubis" has all kinds of power over those.

Agreed. That is the question that started the discussion. But I doubt we'll get a ruling from UDE about this because it was discussed on a forum and it's doubtful that anyone will use "Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude" in a sanctioned event because the effect isn't exactly easy to get off. Who...

The card has a trigger effect that activates on its own, but make no mistake, a card IS activating and producing an effect. It, like "Dark Coffin" and "Sangan" are cards that activate in the Graveyard. That's how it's "played" to produce the effect. It must be in the Graveyard during your...

"Chainsaw Insect" has completely different timing. It doesn't even mention the Graveyard. Perhaps my explanation was a little off, but if mine was, so was yours. You said that the effect triggers when he does battle and destroys a monster. The effect says you're wrong. Either way, the end...

It's close, but it's not the same thing. You're still forcing the activation of a card, but since the activation if forced and not voluntary, you cannot pay any costs. You're definitely not activating the effect of the Trap Card without activating the card. "Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude" allows...

I don't see how that's a problem, or even an issue. In order for there to be a precedent, you must be referring to an established situation. Since this is a new situation, there can be no precedent. You're trying to say that because there's no precedent, there can be no more new situations...

Whether Konami has officially called it a cardless effect or not is really immaterial. If you read the rulings for "Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude" and some how fail to conclude that this effect activation has nothing to do with the activation of a card, then your grasp of the English language may...

Actually, it doesn't trigger until the card is sent to the Graveyard after being destroyed by battle. At that time, "Hydrogeddon" is also destroyed, and destroyed monsters have no effect.

If they activate it when you declare the attack, yes. If they activate it during the Damage Step, no.

Of course the effect "originates" from the Normal Spell Card, but I dont' think I ever said that it didn't. In fact, I believe I've maintained that the Spell Card is the reference for the effect. The problem is that it doesn't originate from an activating card, it's just an activating effect...

To be clear, "Hydrogeddon"s effect triggers when it destroys a monster in battle and sends it to the Graveyard.

The difference is, there's no card that's activating and generating an effect with "Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude"s effect. It's only the effect. "The End of Anubis" doesn't negate effects. It negate effects of cards that activate in the Graveyard. Again, no card is activating in the Graveyard...

He's a monster card that activates in the Graveyard.

I keep going back to it because it keeps being ignored. It negates effects of Spell Cards that activate, just like it says in his effect. No Spell Card is activating with "Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude"s effect.

The rulings are quite clear. The Spell Card is merely reference. Of course the effect "originates" from the Spell Card, but the Spell Card is still not activating in the Graveyard, so "The End of Anubis" has nothing to negate because it only negates effects of Spell Cards that activate in the...
