Seems like I did not make myself very clear, sorry. I'll try to explain it more carefully. I quoted the ruling about Destruction of Destiny for just one reason: Destruction of Destiny says, (...) take 1000 damage for each Spell or Trap Card sent to the Graveyard this way. Card Trooper...

IMHO sending the 3 card from the Deck to the Graveyard is not a cost. The wording is different from that of Bazoo's effect. Actually the first sentence in CT's effect alone would make a full-fledged effect on its own. If it was a cost, then, with Dimensional Fissure, it would be...

From the official UDE Advanced Game Play FAQ: Fusion Material Monsters used in a Fusion Summon are NOT a cost. It's a general ruling for Fusion Summons, so it doesn't have to be explicitly mentioned in the card text, as long as it's clearly stated that the monsters are used as Fusion...

That's not what I have written. What I've written is that once all the temporary control changes expired, the monster goes to the side of the player that has the permanent control over the monster (this is not necessarily the previous controller). The effect of EC can never give control of a...

Some people seem to misunderstand what Enemy Controller does. Enemy Controller does NOT place a condition on a monster. This also means that there's nothing to "reset". The monster is NOT returned to the former controller's side of the field by a lingering effect. The monster is returned...

Not true. http://lists.upperdeck.com/read/messages?id=7444#7444

So if the effect would be "return 1 card on the field to the owner's hand" or "remove 1 card on the field from play", it would require AGE to stay on the field until the effect activates? I'm not trying to put anything into your mouth. The question marks in this and in my last posting are...

"Flip Effect" is a very special term in YGO and does not include the trigger effect of Royal Keeper. The effect of Royal Keeper will activate if it's flipped face-up via CeaseFire (that could even save RK from the attacking Gemini Elf ^^). And it can't be negated by Royal Command.

@JD: nvm, it's not my intention to question your level of knowledge ^^ I just wanted to keep things clear and unambiguous :) SubStep 6 can contain more than one chain. (as opposed to SubStep 3, which can only contain 1 chain at max.) Agreed except for the "it's effect isn't sending...

Are you aware that the coin toss for Fairy Box happens during the Battle Step which is part of the Battle Phase that you bolded? And that "during the Battle Phase" does not mean the same as "during Damage Calculation"? If yes, then I wonder how you got the idea that the effect couldn't be...

First, I hope you see that the effect of Fairy Box doesn't even get close to "if this card attacks". Also, I never wrote that "attack" yould have to mean the Damage Step. The effect of AGE clearly says "at the end of the Damage Step" while the effect of Fairy Box activates and resolves during...

It's better not to confuse "attacking" and "declaring an attack". Example: "When this card declares an attack,..." (Gravekeepers Assailant), this effect activates during the Battle Step. "When this monster attacks..." (Sasuke Samurai), this effect activates during the Damage Step. It...

The effect of Drillroid destroys MoF during SubStep 2, sending it to the graveyard. Gameplay then proceeds to SubStep 5 (since Damage Calculation is skipped and Damage Application doesn't happen either), where the effect of MoF starts a chain (and Skill Drain could not negate it, since MoF is...

The effect of Mausoleum of the Emperor is a Spell Speed 1 Ignition Effect and can be chained to. The effects of continuous Spell or Trap cards automatically disappear once the cards are no longer face-up on the field (exceptions would be effects that explicitly require the card to be somewhere...

The effect doesn't target at the moment it "triggers". The target(s) for a (non-continuous) targeting effect are always chosen at activation, which happens during SubStep 6 in this case. This is similar to the Flip Effect of Penguin Soldier (that is flipped by an attack): It "triggers" when...

Hmmm... the opponent could activate the effect of an already face-up Skull Lair during the Battle Step, targeting the AGE.

There's still a (sometimes important) difference: Ancient Gear Engineer only has to "attack" (indicating SubStep 1, with Drillroid being the glorious exception), while LJM needs to "battle" (indicating SubStep 3). In this case this doesn't make a difference for Ancient Gear Engineer, since it's...

Although the pierce damage won't be tripled, the "draw, then discard" effects are mandatory trigger effects that activate separately and form a chain, so you would draw 2 cards, then discard 1, then draw 2 more, then discard 1 more, then draw another 2 and discard another 1. It's like having 3...

After both players pass priority, the Game State is cleared, and attack-response cards like Sakuretsu cannot be activated. But cards without activation requirements (like EC) can still be activated, since the Battle step is not over yet. It's correct that this has not been officially announced...

Actually both. If the summoned monster doesn't have 1400 ATK or less while the game state says "a summon occurred", Wanghu's effect doesn't activate. And at resolution, Wanghu's effect will only kill monsters with 1400 ATK or less. Likewise, BTH can only be activated as a response if the...
