Negated attack

Sort by date Sort by votes
Yes, well said. It amazes me how much people's knowledge of the game comes from the show. Everyone knows what Magic Cylinder does, but not what Draining Shield does, so when they actually have to interpret from the card text, they're clueless. Of course, these are the same people that summon in face up defense.

And this is why we need actual places were we can teach people like this the proper ways of gaming. Does not make a Duel Prep School all that bad from the sound of it. It'd be kind of interesting to see if better duelists like that would come out of that.

Back on topic i've ran into the same problem, people thinking you can attack again and they think the not attacking thing only works for Cylinder and that Draining Shield is somehow magically different. It's nut really, same with this whole face up defense thing, what's up with that?

The issue with Duel Academy is that unless at least on out of every five or so people duel, then it wouldn't be worth the money to put one in every city, and if you DIDN'T put one in every city, people would have to drive some distance to get to one, which no one would ever do. I like the idea, but unless Yu-Gi-Oh! becomes as popular as it is in the show, not happening.

Well you could produce videos, and books, and online training pages, and... Wait somebody did that and got hosed because the rules get changed so much that something produced today can be completely wrong next week. :)

Of course if you make it so plain vanilla and don't deal with any of the questionable topics at all and stick to mostly Normal Monsters and a very few other cards that have no questions about how they work, skip any mention of priority and even try to steer clear of the complexities of chaining and spell speeds... Oh wait UDE and Konami have got that already covered. :)

Well, I think chaining and spell speed could be explained. truth is, though, that the starter deck rule book already explains most of that, including the thing about summoning in defense. But no one PAYS ANY ATTENTION to it. They think it's just a book for begginners (which these people ARE, but oh well) and they never stop to actually examine it closely enough to realize that there are rules they didn't notice before. *sigh*

Ahhhh, the face-up summon in defense again. We all know the show is just an example of the game, over dramatized. It's mostly the kids who watch it that copy the moves and phrases.

"I summon Blue-Eyes White Dragon (without tribute) in attack mode and use Lightning Attack to destroy your face-down monster!!!"

Sorry I meant the Duel Masters Guide video and Flash "How to play" recently posted to the UDE site. Yes the rule book does have this information and does have the basic ideas for how to play but most certainly does not have the complexity to actually "Teach" the game.

I do believe that efforts can and should be made to teach proper dueling. Thus far I know a number of us spend good amounts of our time instructing new duelists and attempting to teach the more complex rulings at our local sites. But I could see some Saturday morning demonstrations being extremely beneficial to the community.

Little example I met today (well, it can happen more often, but don't know..): I dueled someone on the Yu-gi-oh Virtual Desktop... Hell, that guy was slow, almost not reacting on questions... and he played Mystic Plasma Zone... that was the worst part... he had a face-up Gravekeeper's Curse. What he said? That Curse would go to 1300 ATK (correct) and 1200 DEF (dumb!).

And not only that: I had to say 2x that he had to remove the MPZ of the field because i acted a FSC myself....

Or my favorite one, put their "Removed from Play" under their Graveyard.

Why doesnt UDE/Konami just make a Removed from Play Area on the Game Mat? Then (even though 98% of Players don't use it), at least you know for sure that there is a designated area for RFG Cards and you dont have to ask a player where his cards are and he says "Under my Graveyard". That is soooo annoying, not to mention a potential way for them to sneak cards back into their Graveyard by "accident"...

Point there, point over there... *getting lost* *counting how much points left for things which are right* *conclusion: empty hand*

Yes. Another minor annoyance... The best way to cheat, if you want to. No RFP-zone = No ability to have a good sight at it.

In my case as a Chaos Sorcerer user and constant card remover, what we do here is fairly simple, we place the RFG cards face down NEXT to the graveyard even if there is no mat, and we place themperpendicular to the graveyard cards to further differentiate them from the graveyard. My two cents of course...

You shouldnt put the Removed from Game cards face-down unless they were removed from the game face-down. RFG Cards that were removed from the game by Different Dimension Capsule are removed face-down and if it is destroyed, the card remains face-down and is not eligible for return by an effect that would return a Monster to the field.

If you place all your cards face-down, then that could present a problem since only the player who played Different Dimension Capsule knows what the card is.

Primal Seed can return face-down cards, but not many people will be able to use that card anymore since both BLS and CED are Banned in Advanced Format play, so it really makes a difference how the cards are placed now, especially since they are still supposed to be Common Knowledge, like the Graveyard.

I HATE, and I mean honestly, truly HATE the people who place their graveyard face down, and then when you try to explain it to them, they say, "Well, get over it, I like having my graveyard face down." Just because you like something doesn't mean you can make it up as an actual rule. One person I dueled, whose IQ is almost 130, and who is my best friend, played Change of Heart, taking control of my Opticlops, and then offered it as a tribute. For what? A tribute for what? I said. He said, "no particular card." I said, you can't tribute a monster for no reason. He said his reason was "to get it off the field". I said where in the rule book does it say you can do that? He said where does it say you can't? I hit him in the nose.
