Guardian kay est lock

[WarriorKing007]

hey if i have two guardian kay 'est on the field, does my opponent's attack go through or do i have a key 'est lock?

i think it goes thru...check upper deck.

 

[Inuyasha_Riku]

wait....Guardian Kay'est....

Guardian Kay'est rulings would be the same as The Legendary Fisherman + Umi rulings.

then whats the use of Guardian Kay'est if your opponent can attack you directly with all of their monsters, its like having a field with no monstes.

im taking the only copy i have out for a D. D. Survivor now.

Spirit Barrier
Different Dimension Gate
(Dark Hole)

Just to name a few.

 

[krazykidpsx]

seriosly alone its useless why would a SJC champ use it in their deck?

and im reffering to the latest winner did you guys notice he was running 2 of them?

The ruling is if Guardian Kay'est is the ONLY monster on your side of the field (note singular reference), then your opponent can attack directly. If there are two then it should be a lock, similar to having two Solar Flare Dragons, or two Soul-Absorbing Bone Towers, etc. Guardian Kay'est at that point is not the only monster on the field, just so happens the other monster is ALSO Guardian Kay'est.
At least that's what I think.

 

[OKShadow]

Guardian Kay'est rulings would be the same as The Legendary Fisherman + Umi rulings.

Big difference between these two is that The Legendary Fisherman is restricted to one when Guardian Kay'est is not.

 

[densetsu_x]

Since when was The Legendary Fisherman restricted?

And honestly, I don't remember the ruling about if you had 2 Kay'est or 2 Fisherman on the field...

 

[OKShadow]

I remember The Legendary Fisherman being limited for the longest time. Don't remember if it came off or not. But that would be the only reason I could see for the Fisherman ruling. Rulings simply state if one or the other is the ONLY monster on your side of the field, the opponent can attack directly. If there is another, albeit duplicate, then I would think there would be a lock.

EDIT: Found the list and see TLF finally was released from his solitary confinement lol. It was originally limited to one because the effect had not been ruled to allow direct attacks at that time.

I am 99.9% sure that TLF has never been on the limited or restricted list here in North America. Japan I am not sure about.

As for Guardian below is the text
This card can only be Normal Summoned, Flip Summoned, or Special Summoned when there is a "Rod of Silence - Kay'est" on your side of the field. This card is unaffected by any Spell Cards. Also, this card cannot be an attack target of your opponent's monsters.

It says nothing about another monster on the field. If you have two on the field then both are not an eligable target for attack and your opponent can attack directly. As for the guy who made top 8 in the SJC. Look at it this way it can't be destroyed by attacking it (while face up) or a spell card. This means you will have a monster to tribute next turn if needed.

 

[Dlanaan]

I'll bump up that another 0.1% and say that The Legendary Fisherman was never restricted in North America. As was pointed out, Guardian Kay'est shares the rulings with The Legendary Fisherman. If the only monster(s) on the field are The Legendary Fisherman and Guardian Kay'est, your opponent may attack you directly (in fact, if they attack, they must since there are no eligible targets.)

 

[krazykidpsx]

well yea its tribute fodder, but still thats taking a full hit in the face.
