A lot of people do. The tournament scene is littered with them. It isn't nearly as flexible as an elemental searcher though (outside of a gravekeeper deck) and it can't continually churn like the searchers or a Masked Dragon (flip effect means Gravekeeper's Spy #2 isn't going to be fetching...

Why not summon a Spirit Reaper in attack mode? Let's say your Mystic Tomato was just killed by your opponent's last monster that has not yet attacked. What would be the down side to summoning Spirit Reaper in attack mode? Or let's say that you only had 1 monster (Mystic Tomato) on the field...

He meant Shrink.

Do you mean outside of Ronin and our Card Registry?

1. a. 4000 points, The ATK or DEF is the current number, not the original number. You select ATK or DEF when "Mystik Wok" is activated. 2. a. He will remain at 4000 but not because it is a continuous effect, rather because Shrink effects Original ATK and Mars has a 0 Original ATK, he only...

I apologize if I sound like a broken record but there is no "new ruling" on Catapult Turtle that has been posted. Changing the text to tributed and somehow it has become an entirely new effect really should deserve some kind of a heads up. This smells suspiciously like one of those...

I am truly shocked this hit the Judge's list a month ago and nobody started screaming about it. I've been so busy at work I haven't been watching the list much at all. I am lucky to keep up with things here so thank you for bringing it to our attention.

Previous rulings disprove this theory. Maju Garzett - The ATK of this card becomes equal to the combined original ATK of the 2 monsters you Tributed for the Tribute Summon of this card. When you Tribute Monster Tokens to Tribute Summon "Maju Garzett", the sum of their ATK's will be the ATK...

Head hurting. Want to find Dan and give him a boot to the head. So if I tribute my monster as a cost for Spiritual Fire Art - Kurenai and then I chain Call of the Haunted to revive the tributed monster would that mean that Kurenai will do no damage because the monster will no longer be in...

Mystik Wok - Tribute 1 monster on your side of the field and select its ATK or DEF. Increase your Life Points by the same amount. Rulings Tributing a monster for "Mystik Wok" is a cost, so you can Tribute "The Legendary Fisherman" or "The Agent of Force - Mars". The ATK or DEF is the...

How in the #### did Catapult Turtle get lumped in here? It doesn't use Original Attack it uses current attack. And I can't believe we're back to referencing ATK in the graveyard in any event. Wouldn't that mean that a Fusilier Dragon tributed with Ectoplasmer would inflict 1400 regardless of...

LOL! We'll have to set up specialty decks and compete against one another over and over again until we can achieve the problem situation and then we can rush to submit the question and get ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- the same eternal wait for the tough answers we always had before...

It sounds like a "we don't want to answer the hard questions so wait until the situation actually happens in a tournament and you don't know the proper answer and then you can ask us" policy. As a judge you should be attempting to proactively understand the game so that you can make the...

Just to clarify, Japan has many censorship laws as well. They aren't better or worse, they are different. Many things get outlawed in a zealous haste to prevent truly bad things from happening. Sometimes laws get put on the books because somebody too high up in the power structure personally...

To be a bit more technical a spirit monster returning to the hand is something that must be resolved before you may leave the End Step. The discarding to get down to 6 cards happens at the very end of the End Step. Regardless any effect which would add an additional card to your hand while you...

This is certainly censorship but the "they think we're stupid" explanation is not at all appropriate. UDE does not control what Konami does and I would be quite surprised if they had a desire to influence them in these types of decisions. Konami has their own view of this issue, cards that are...

Alternative tournament formats. If the store runs Advanced try alternating with Traditional Format. They may want to run some Sealed Draft events. Or even get creative with a "no Limited Cards" format.

Chainsaw Insect is very different then monsters that trigger when the monster they destroyed by battle is sent to the graveyard. Chainsaw insect will activate from the graveyard or out of play after it has had it's "in battle" requirement met. It has already been satisfied and is simply...

Okay hold on a second. Victory Viper's effect requires that it still be on the field when the destroyed monster is sent to the graveyard in order to Trigger. If Victory Viper is destroyed in Damage Calculation it won't be able to trigger at all. So a suicide run won't get any effect.

Your comments are insulting and inflammatory. I would be mortified to have someone speaking like you are in one of our tournaments. There is no call for insulting a gifted young player or those that they duel with.
