I would go with your first impression. If your Survivor is on the opponent's side of the field when it is removed, its effect will not trigger nor summon it back to your side of the field. Its that highlighted part of the text you provided that gives it away.

while I agree with you, it still has to be understood that the confusion lay with the fact that Megamorph alters the "orginal" ATK, and the key becomes identifying exactly where the monster is when the card effect references its ATK. That's why I dont agree with clumping Ectoplasmer with the...

I was attempting to reason through this on Realms with slither (deck wraith). My thoughts were the simple sentence separation between the tribute and the damage inflicted. Its like pausing to catch your breath. You tribute.stop. You look for the original ATK, and inflict damage.stop.

While I totally respect and believe most things slither says, if a post on the Judge's List comes up, from officials like Dan, those are the official rulings we have to follow. edit: I just realized that Ectoplasmer is listed as #3. That one I dont agree with. Ectoplasmer should deal the...

What comes to mind is only: But, even then, the effect of Battle-Scarred is a triggered effect, not lingering. On a tangent, Is After the Struggle a Lingering effect, and does it target? If it does, will a monster involved in Battle avoid destruction from After the Struggle? If not...

according to skey, it seems that it would check upon resolution. But I tend to agree with Tkwiget's idea that the monster special Summoned initially is only needed to reference for IRS during activation.

I want to trade out 1 Malice Doll of Demise for 1 Spirit Reaper, since the Doll is only truly effective when Ectoplasmer is out. Spirit Reaper has its own discard thing going, and with just 1 Ecto in place, you have a pretty good shot of actually getting a successful attack with Reaper...

Sorry, only your turn. Its an ignition effect that can only be activated during your own Main Phase 1 and (if you haven't declared any attacks this turn) Main Phase 2. If you want to keep it from getting destroyed immediately, try out something fun like Dimensionhole, so that monsters just...

But it does. Think of the cost as the key to unlocking the box. Inside the box is the effect. When a spell is sent to the Graveyard, the box got tossed in, smashed, and the effect was just laying there. Diamond Dude doesn't need the key (cost) to get the effect now. He just needs to pick...

lol! Sounds like you gents were trying to drive Dan nuts.

touche! Excellent point. I haven't thought of Imperial Order in quite some time.

Since its effect and activation (or vice versa) cannot be negated, you cannot legally activate a card like Magic Jammer, whose effect is to negate.

I saw that and it put the question in my head: If I were to activate a Ritual Spell Card, and my opponent chained with something like Mind Crush/Trap Dustshoot, to remove my Ritual monster from my hand, do I still tribute the required level of monsters to fulfill the remainder of the effect?

Im kind of reaching here, but from looking at a few Ritual cards text, it seems that the summons happens as part of the resolution for the effect of the Ritual Spell Card itself. My interpretation of this is that yes, you would need to negate the Ritual Spell Card in order to negate the...

The Story of Zera: Part 5 Lord steeled himself. "Call me Zera", he said. "I recall much of my past now that you remind me. My own name is lost to me. But the others of Zera beckon me to fufill my promise. What is this opportunity you speak of?" Hunter glanced at the Baron. The Baron...

The Story of Zera: Part 4 Lord peered into the Glass. Rather than a reflection, swirling mists led deeper into the distance. Then, growing larger with each breath, came a fire, and the sounds of screams. Lord felt himself pulled deeper and deeper with in the mirror. Lord coughed and choked...

The Story of Zera: Part 3 Lord looked up to see that they stood before an oddity of a place. It was a house of sorts, made up entirely of towers and battlements, connected by walkways. The base of the building was a massive cylinder with a single door, and as it traveled up, it kept expanding...

The Story of Zera: Part 2 Lord slammed himself into the floor of a room at the very foot of Hunter, who stood impassively staring at him. "Get up and dressed. Here are your clothes". Hunter gestured to one wall in which a variety of garments were folded on shelves or hanging by hooks. Lord...

With permission from my fellow Monarchs, I am releasing the first in my series of stories to the public. I hope you enjoy The Story of Zera: Part 1 An empty dawn rises slowly. The dull reddish light that weakly penetrates the room almost seems to beg the pardon of he whom it awakes...

*waves hand frantically in the air* me!mememe! I saw it. :) :p Of course I used to run a Reversal Quiz deck too. Any time I see Archfiend's Oath activated, or someone pay more than 3000 for Wall of Revealing Light, I know what's about to hit me. I have to say, the additional twist of...
