It's the effect that "Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude"s effect activates after it sends a Normal Spell Card to the Graveyard with his effect. All the rulings specifically say that the effect is being activated and not the card. The effect is separate from the card. It's a cardless effect.

Like I said. It's a cardless effect.

That's what the effect of "The End of Anubis" says. Since the rulings for "Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude" make it clear that the effect is activating and not the card, it is reasonable to conclude that cards can activate and produce effects, or effects can activate without the activation of a...

That's a completely different situation. "Horus the Black Flame Dragon" is unaffected by the effects of Spell Cards (it has been ruled so). Though you're not activating the card with "Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude"s effect, you ARE activating a Spell effect, so "Horus the Black Flame Dragon LV6"...

It's not like any other issue. This is a new concept for the game. The Spell Card isn't activating, it's only being referenced. Only the effect is activating and "The End of Anubis" only negates effects of cards that activate in the Graveyard. I feel like a broken record, but no card is...

I do not make this assertion lightly, but that is what's going on here. Just because the Spell Card is referenced, it doesn't mean that that card is activating. The card must be in the Graveyard so the game knows what effect to activate. So we have an effect that activates, but no Spell...

It's not his effect, it's the Spell Cards effect, but it's not the Spell Card being activated. Just its effect. You can even still activate the effect of the Spell Card if "Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude" is off the field. So even if it was the effect of "Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude", the effect...

I didn't make it up. It's all in the rulings that I quoted. I have supported everything that I have asserted.

"Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude" messes that templating up. If we now have cardless effects, then we can't just say that all "effects" are affected. We have to see what kind of effects are affected. The effects that "The End of Anubis" negate are the effects of cards that activate in the Graveyard...

I should probably let you read my post, but still... "The End of Anubis" only negates the effects of cards that target a card in the Graveyard and cards that activate in the Graveyard. Again, no card is being activated in the Graveyard, so "The End of Anubis" cannot negate its effect.

Well, there are several of them. Starting with the very first one. [/size][/size][/size][/size][/size] [/size]As you can see, the rulings are quite specific as to what's occuring here and it only references the card. It doesn't activate the card. The Normal Spell Card does not activate in...

Yeah. I noticed that, but considering you lose a game if your deck is checked and there is an unintentional pattern, I would think that submitting a false deck-list would be a worse offense. I just don't understand it, I guess...

Well, since Simon let the cat out of the bag concerning which assertion was made by whom, I guess I'll address this. That's the whole point. The effect is not generated from the Spell Card. The rulings for "Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude" are quite clear about that. You're not activating the card...

Masterwoo0 brings up the same concern I had when I first read your post. If these players have played all the way to the top 8 with illegal decks, why are they not disqualified and replaced with the next placing individual(s). Isn't that part of the reason that deck checks are performed on all...

See? You get busted no matter what you do. Besides, who's gonna use "Future Fusion" and only send 5 or less Machines to the Graveyard...?

Just because the effect designates how to use the effect of the Spell Card that was discarded, that doesn't mean that the effect targets. Like I said, nothing happens at all until resolution and no card can be targeted during resolution. That's the main difference between targeting and...

"Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude" does nothing with anything until the effect is resolving. No card can be targeted during resolution. Also notice that you can use the effect whether "Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude" is on the field or not. "Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude" doesn't target a thing.

You can't use "Future Fusion" for "Chimeratech Overdragon" and not get "busted". As soon as "Chimeratech Overdragon" hits the field during the second Standby Phase after activation, it automatically sends "Future Fusion" to the Graveyard (along with the rest of the cards on your side of the...

Uh. "Destiny Hero - Diamond Dude"s effect activates on the field. :P

I agree with Simon (for once). ;)
