Card Text
FLIP: Destroy all monsters on the field. Both players then pick up 5 cards from the top of their respective Decks and Special Summon all Level 4 or lower Monster Cards among them on the field in face-up Attack Position or face-down Defense Position. The rest of the cards picked up are added to their respective hands.
Rulings
- Spirit Monsters, Toon Monsters, Ritual Monsters, etc. are sent to your hand as they cannot be Special Summoned or must be Special Summoned is a specific way.
- Both players reveal all 5 cards to each other, and then the turn player may Special Summon his monsters, then the opponent. After revealing the cards, you may shuffle them around so you can Special Summon monsters face-down without the opponent knowing which monster is which.
- If "Sangan" or "Witch of the Black Forest" was destroyed by "Cyber Jar"'s effect, Special Summon monsters first and then complete "Sangan"'s effect.
- If you attacked your opponent's face-down "Cyber Jar," after its effect resolves you can then attack with any monsters you Special Summoned in Attack Position before you enter your Main Phase 2.
- "Torrential Tribute" can be used on monsters Summoned by "Cyber Jar" but not if "Cyber Jar" was flipped face-up in the Damage Step, since "Torrential Tribute" cannot be activated during the Damage Step.
- If a player has less than 5 cards in their Deck, they do not lose (since you are picking-up cards, not drawing), they pick up however many cards they have and continue with "Cyber Jar"'s effect.
- [Re: A Legendary Ocean] When the effect of "Cyber Jar" is activated and "A Legendary Ocean" is on the field, you cannot Special Summon Level 5 WATER monsters picked-up by the effect of "Cyber Jar". This is because the effect of "A Legendary Ocean" does not include Monster Cards in the Deck.
- [Re: Adhesion Trap Hole] When "Cyber Jar" is activated, you may use "Adhesion Trap Hole" against all monsters your opponent Special Summons in face-up Attack Position, but "Adhesion Trap Hole" has no effect on any monsters your opponent Special Summons face-down.
- [Re: Amazoness Archers] If you activate "Amazoness Archers" during the Battle Phase and your opponent Special Summons another monster afterwards (such as with "Call of the Haunted", or if "Cyber Jar" is flipped), the newly-Summoned monster is not affected by "Amazoness Archers" and does not suffer the -500 ATK reduction nor does it have to attack.
- [Re: Amazoness Tiger] If you pick up 2 "Amazoness Tigers" with "Cyber Jar", you must place both face-down, or place 1 face-up and 1 face-down.
- [Re: Axe of Despair] If all your monsters are sent to the Graveyard simultaneously by the effect of "Cyber Jar", "Raigeki", etc. and "Axe of Despair" is equipped to one of them, you cannot Tribute one of those monsters to return "Axe of Despair" to the top of your Deck. You also cannot Tribute one of the monsters Special Summoned by the effect of "Cyber Jar" since the timing has passed.
- [Re: Bottomless Trap Hole] If "Cyber Jar" is flipped as a result of being attacked, you cannot activate "Bottomless Trap Hole" because it cannot be activated during the Damage Step.
- [Re: Bottomless Trap Hole] If "Cyber Jar" is flipped during a Main Phase, and the opponent Special Summons "Dark Blade", "Luster Dragon", "Magical Scientist" and a face-down monster, you can activate "Bottomless Trap Hole" and both "Luster Dragon" and "Dark Blade" will be removed from play. The "Magical Scientist", face-down monster, and all monsters you Summoned will remain on the field.
- [Re: Chain Energy] "Chain Energy" applies only to cards played or Set from your hand, not cards that are activated when already Set on the field, or to cards placed onto the field by effects like "Cyber Jar"'s Flip Effect.
- [Re: Dark Magician of Chaos] If "Dark Magician of Chaos" attacks a face-down "Fiber Jar" or "Cyber Jar", the Jar is removed from play but its effect is activated.
- [Re: Gradius' Option] If you pick up "Gradius' Option" by the effect of "Cyber Jar" you cannot Special Summon it, even if "Gradius" is also in the 5 cards you picked up. It is placed in your hand instead.
- [Re: Guardian Angel Joan] When "Guardian Angel Joan" attacks "Cyber Jar", "Guardian Angel Joan"'s effect is not activated because she is destroyed before "Cyber Jar" is sent to the Graveyard.
- [Re: Jam Breeding Machine] If the effect of "Cyber Jar" is activated when you have this card active on your side of the field, monsters that you pick up which could normally be Summoned by the effect of "Cyber Jar" are destroyed instead. Other monsters, such as Level 5 and above monsters, and monsters that can only be Special Summoned, are still added to your hand.
- [Re: Jowgen the Spiritualist] If "Jowgen the Spiritualist" is Special Summoned by the effect of "Cyber Jar", all monsters that are Special Summoned by that "Cyber Jar" are Summoned successfully.
- [Re: King Tiger Wanghu] When "King Tiger Wanghu" is Special Summoned by the effect of "Cyber Jar", other monsters with ATK 1400 or less that are Special Summoned by the same "Cyber Jar" are destroyed if they are Special Summoned in face-up Attack Position.
- [Re: Legacy Hunter] If "Legacy Hunter" attacks a face-down "Man-Eater Bug" or "Cyber Jar", "Legacy Hunter"'s effect is not applied because "Legacy Hunter"'s effect activates when the monster he destroyed is sent to the Graveyard, and "Legacy Hunter" will no longer be on the field in these instances.
- [Re: Kaiser Colosseum] When "Kaiser Colosseum" is active, and "Cyber Jar" is activated, if your opponent would control more monsters than you, your opponent has to destroy monsters equal to the difference; the excess monsters are never actually Summoned and instead are sent from the Deck to the Graveyard (so "Witch of the Black Forest" does not get its effect, etc.). So the monsters are destroyed after they are picked up, but before any monsters are Special Summoned for the effect of "Cyber Jar".
- [Re: King Tiger Wanghu] If "King Tiger Wanghu" is Normal Summoned or Special Summoned, and its own ATK is reduced below 1400 by a pre-existing effect, then it destroys itself when Summoned. (Example: "King Tiger Wanghu" and "Bladefly" are Special Summoned simultaneously by "Cyber Jar". "King Tiger Wanghu"'s ATK is 1300, and it is destroyed by its own effect (and "Bladefly" is also destroyed by "King Tiger Wanghu"'s effect).
- [Re: Lesser Fiend] This card does not negate the effects of monsters it destroys as a result of battle, so a Flip Effect like "Cyber Jar" or Trigger Effect like "D.D. Warrior Lady" will still be activated. "Cyber Jar" would still be removed from play in this example, since damage calculation occurs normally.
- [Re: Light of Intervention] While this card is on the field, if a monster would be Special Summoned in face-down Defense Position (such as with "Cyber Jar" or "Nimble Momonga"), it is instead Special Summoned in face-up Defense Position.
- [Re: My Body as a Shield] "My Body as a Shield" will negate cards such as "Dark Hole", "Fissure", "Raigeki", "Eternal Rest", "Nobleman of Crossout", "Tribute to The Doomed", "Thousand Knives", "Trap Hole", "Two-Pronged Attack", "Mirror Force", "House of Adhesive Tape", "Eatgaboon", "Ring of Destruction", "Torrential Tribute", "Bottomless Trap Hole", "Man-Eater Bug", "Blast Juggler", "Dragon Seeker", "Dream Clown", "Throwstone Unit", "Burst Breath", "Swarm of Scarabs", "Cyber Jar", "Tribe-Infecting Virus", "Raigeki Break", "XYZ Dragon Cannon", "Mega-Ton Magical Cannon", "Exiled Force" (negates the effect but will not destroy "Exiled Force" as it is already in the Graveyard), "Offerings to the Doomed" (negates "Offerings to the Doomed" so you do not skip your Draw Phase), "Jowgen the Spiritualist" (when its effect is activated), "Dragon's Gunfire" (if the effect that destroys a monster is selected), or "The Last Warrior from Another Planet" (negates the effect and destroys "The Last Warrior from Another Planet").
- [Re: My Body as a Shield] You cannot activate "My Body as a Shield" during the Damage Step, so you cannot use it against a "Man-Eater Bug" or "Cyber Jar" flipped by an attack, but you can use it when these monsters are Flip Summoned.
- [Re: Non Aggression Area] If your opponent Flip Summons "Cyber Jar" while "Non-Aggression Area" is active, because he cannot Special Summon, the cards he would normally Summon that were picked up are destroyed. All the cards picked up with "Cyber Jar" that would not normally be Special Summoned (such as high-level monsters, Spell and Trap Cards, and monsters that are Special Summon-only) remain in the hand and are not destroyed.
- [Re: Peten the Dark Clown] If "Peten the Dark Clown" is destroyed by "Cyber Jar", the last thing that happened was that monsters were Summoned to the field, so the effect of "Peten" does not activate.
- [Re: Pharaoh's Treasure] If you pick up a face-up "Pharaoh's Treasure" because of "Cyber Jar", this is not drawing so the effect is not activated; you may Set the "Pharaoh's Treasure" you picked up and activate it again (placing it back into your Deck, etc.).
- [Re: Rivalry of Warlords] If "Cyber Jar" is activated while "Rivalry of Warlords" is active, you can Special Summon different Types of monsters face-down without penalty, or Special Summon 1 Type face-up and all the others face-down. But if you Special Summon different Types of monsters face-up, you have to destroy monsters to make it 1 Type.
- [Re: Royal Oppression] Example 2: If "Cyber Jar" is Flip Summoned and its Flip Effect activates, you can activate the effect of "Royal Oppression" in a chain to the Flip Effect. The effect of "Cyber Jar" is negated, no monsters on the field are destroyed by its effect, no cards are picked up, no monsters are Special Summoned, and "Cyber Jar" is destroyed by the effect of "Royal Oppression".
- [Re: Royal Oppression] The effects of face-up Trap Cards cannot be activated during the Damage Step, so this card's effect cannot negate the Special Summoning of a monster by the effect of "Mystic Tomato" or a "Cyber Jar" flipped face-up by an attack.
- [Re: Royal Oppression] You can activate the effect of "Royal Oppression" to negate an effect that Summons 1 monster, or Summons multiple monsters (like "Cyber Jar", "The Shallow Grave", or "Valkyrion the Magna Warrior").
- [Re: Soul-Absorbing Bone Tower] If "Soul-Absorbing Bone Tower" and several other Zombie-Type monsters are Special Summoned simultaneously (with "Cyber Jar"), that Soul-Absorbing Bone Tower's effect is not applied.
- [Re: Spatial Collapse] When "Cyber Jar" is activated while "Spatial Collapse" is active, if the number of cards exceeds 5, each player selects cards to send to the Graveyard to make the number 5.
- [Re: Spirit Reaper] "Spirit Reaper" has a special effect for when it isn't destroyed (as a result of battle), and a special effect for an extra reason to destroy it (when targeted by an effect). But it can still be destroyed by all other normal effects that would destroy a monster: "Cyber Jar", "Raigeki", etc.
- [Re: Thunder Nyan Nyan] You can Special Summon "Thunder Nyan Nyan" with the effect of "Cyber Jar" but if you Summon another non-LIGHT monster face-up she will be destroyed.
- [Re: Torrential Tribute] "Torrential Tribute" can be activated after a monster is Summoned through another card's effect, such as "Monster Reborn", "Scapegoat", "Cyber Jar" (if Flip Summoned), or "Call of the Haunted".
- [Re: Torrential Tribute] "Torrential Tribute" cannot be activated during the Damage Step. This prohibits "Torrential Tribute" from being used against monsters Special Summoned by "Mystic Tomato", "Giant Rat", "Nimble Momonga", "Masked Dragon", and other such cards that Special Summon a monster when destroyed as a result of battle, as well as "Cyber Jar" or "Morphing Jar #2" that is flipped face-up by an attack.
Well, this is my first time posting a CoTD on any site..so lets see how it goes....
Ah Cyber Jar...one of the very few rock monsters that doesnt look like a rock...but i guess it is somehow.anyhoo....this card has about as many rulings as i do memorized family guy quotes...probably coz of all the combos that can be pulled off with it...I remember back in the days of Magic Ruler(or Spell Ruler as they call it now...) when i pulled this out of a pack....this was UBER back then...destroy all monsters on the field and possibly get a blitz of monsters while they have none....but nowadays its a double edged sword...this can either be ur best friend...or that Spiritualism in that DB2 pack u pulled hoping to get a Royal Decree..(bad joke i know) but anyhoo....
lets see...combos....well theres quite a lot of them:...as u can see by the rulings....Cyber Jar has a Dark Hole-ish effect with mass special summon...u can use its dark-holish effect with Sangan(after Cyber Jars effect resolves) fetching a free monster to add to ur hand...or if u have a Bottomless Trap Hole set and ur Cyber Jar hasnt been attacked by ur opponent, u can flip summon it for its effect, and if they have 3 monsters w/1500 atk or greater from Cyber Jar's effect, u can activate Bottomless Trap Hole and REMOVE them from play..with all the rulings there are on this card, there's definitely more combos with Cyber Jar, but by the time i list them all down, it'd probably be time for tomorrow's card of the day...
Cyber Jar definitely has some propz going for it..it can
+wipe out ur opponents monsters on the field(everyone loves a torrential-ish effect)
+give u major field advantage if ur opponent has an empty field and he gets all s/t's while u get 4 or 5 monsters from Cyber Jar's effect..(getting Lily and 3 Berserk Gorillas from this would be GODLY..)
+replenish ur hand and field if u had nothing besides Cyber Jar
+chaos food(its a dark type)
+deck thinning
+can put cards in the graveyard for u for removing
+CAN be good topdeck
But it also has its bad sides...
-Nobleman of Crossout pwns this like a cell phone in a mall basement..
-the effect can Backfire on YOU too..(i.e. its ur opponents battle phase and they attack ur Cyber Jar, u get all spells and traps while they get a whole bunch of monsters to wipe u out...not pretty.....
-Royal Oppression really isnt a good thing for this card.....
-can be bad if u only have 4 cards left in ur deck, and this is the only card u have in ur hand...
Cyber Jar can require a bit of planning to use, but usually with a little luck of if u planned right, it can be worth it...u may want to have something like a Waboku or a Scapegoat face down for protection just in case his effect doesnt go off or if u end up not having any monsters from his effect...or u can pretty much use it as a Dark Hole when u need one...
There's a variety of decks Cyber Jar can fit into...heck..almost any deck can pretty much use him..(except exodia...i strongly wouldnt recommend that...) u can use him in a chaos deck(which he is pretty uber in considering he's a dark type that usually ends up sending himself to the graveyard and can combo with other cards, i.e. Sangan), or even a swarm deck such as Gravekeepers or the like...or even a rock deck..(which he is)..u can use him to thin the deck and send cards to the grave for Megarock Dragon...or u can use him in a regular beatdown...anything goes with this guy...
Overall i give Cyber Jar...
3.5/5 Traditional(they still have Fiber Jar)
4/5 Advanced(very uber combos..)
thank u guys for ur time..
