1)Soul Exchange may only be used to summon level 7 or higher monsters (two or more tribute monsters), yes or no?
2)Can Soul Exchange be used to target the third monster when summoning Moisture Creature in order to get its spell/trap destruction effect?
3)If the monster you pick on your opponets side of the field is removed from the field by CED or destroyed by RoD what happends to your monster and is battle phase still skiped?

Thanks

1)It can be used for any tribute scenario, to summon a two tribute monster though you must tribute one monster of your own since this card only allows you to tribute 1 of you opponent's monsters in place of one of your own.

2)Certainly, but you'll still need to offer up two of your own.

3)Soul Exchange is non-targetting, you only pick the monster when you're tributing it, at which point you immediately send it to the graveyard as a tribute and so it's too late for your opponent to do anything to stop you from tributing it by returning it to the hand or destroying it.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the responce. Just one more question. So can Soul Exchange be used to summon a single tribute, level 5 or 6 monster offering only your opponets monster?

Certainly, if the monster only needs one tribute you can just tribute the one monster from your opponent's side of the field for it, you don't have to tribute one of your own as a preference or anything.

You're right, that's a completely new one on me! (doesn't see much play in my meta)
Doh, so in the case of the third Q they can destory the monster/return it to the hand in a chain to prevent you from tributing it.
You'd still lose your Battle Phase as a result of using Soul-Exchange.

Sorry about that. :(

No Problem. Sometimes I think Calculus is simpler that Yu-Gi-Oh!

Since you can use RoD or CED to interupt Soul Exchange and the user would lose the battle phase, if they were attemping to summon BEWD by tributing one of their monster and one of yours what would happen to their targeted monster?

Thanks

If you mean the monster you intended to tribute, nothing, the monster selected by Soul Exchange would have to be destroyed in the same chain as the activation of Soul Exchange, or, if you don't immediately tribute it after Soul-Exchange resolves in a later chain which still occurs before you tribute the monster.

When you play Soul Exchange you'd just say that you're playing it and select which of your opponent's monsters you wish to be allowed to tribute. Then later in the turn you elect to perform the tribute. Since the act of tribute summoning cannot be chained to there's nothing your opponent can do to stop the tribute.

OK, guys. Let's get this straightened out.

Soul Exchange is a targeting effect. When you activate Soul Exchange, you tell your opponent which of their monsters you're activating it on.

Soul Exchange allows you to tribute a monster on your opponent's side of the field, for whatever reason a tribute is needed.

So you can activate Soul Exchange, and tribute your opponent's Exiled Force to destroy their Jinzo. Or Tribute their Possesed Dark Soul to take control of all of their level 3 or lower monsters on the field. You can tribute their Winged Minion to raise the attack of a Fiend monsters on your side of the field. You can tribute one of their monsters for Cannon Soldier/Catapult Turtle or Man Thro' Thro'. You can tribute one of their monsters for your Deck Devastation Virus, Assault on GHQ, Share the Pain, Mytik Wok, Altar for Tribute, etc.

If you don't use the effect of Soul Exchange (tribute a monster on your opponent's side of the field), you do NOT skip your battle phase. So you can use Soul Exchange to target and destroy Reaper and go on with your battle phase. Or activate it to put the last counter on Skilled Dark Magician, or Skilled White Magician to tribute to SS Dark Magician or Buster Blader, or to put the last counter that Blast Magician needs to destroy that pesky monster and still continue with your battle phase.

And of couyrse, if you enter your battle phase, you can't use Soul Exchange for that turn.

I was under the impression that Soul Exchange was only for use with Tribute SUmmons, or for Fusion/Ritual Monsters..... It can be used with things like Cannon Soldier or Amazon Archer???............ you sure??

From issue 2 of the ARRJ:
"Soul Exchange" vs. "Spirit Reaper" - If "Soul Exchange" targets "Spirit Reaper", "Spirit Reaper" will destroy itself by its effect.
"Soul Exchange" will still force the player to skip his or her Battle Phase.

Since UDE have no mention of whether or not you get your Battle-phase, either on the Specific card rulings or the Judge list this is the best we can go on.

Yes, it can be used for other purposes that involve tributes.
From the UDE FAQ:
"When you offer your monster as a Tribute, offer the selected monster in place of 1 of your monsters."

It does not state you can only use it for Tribute Summon...:D

Yes you can, one of the few references to Soul-Exchange on the Judges list is that you can use it on your opponent's Exiled Force to use said Exiled Force's effect.

If I'm not mistaken, if 'Soul Exchange' is activated and allowed to resolve, you WILL skip your battle phase, it does not matter what you use 'Soul Exchange' for, or even if you use the effect and tribute.

If it's activation and effect are negated by cards like 'Magic Jammer', then you would NOT have to skip your Battle Phase.

Waldo is that you? How's going man?

Honestly this is not correct. We know that if Imperial Order negates Soul Exchange you still skip your Battle Phase.

The skipping of the Battle Phase is a cost to activate Soul Exchange. The only way that you would not skip it would be if the activation is negated (ie. Magic Jammer). It doesn't matter whether you actually Tribute a monster or not.

I don't think this is correct, since you would be activating the effect of those cards, not your cards.

Soul Exchange can be used to replace the costs of some of YOUR cards, like Cannon Soldier, but you just can't activate an opponent monster 's effect...

EDIT: I have to read the Judge List :D! UPS!

You CAN'T use Soul Exchange for Fusions, as the monsters send for the fusion are NOT considered tributes, as Polymerization states "send fusion-material monsters..."
You can use Soul Exchange for Rituals, Gate Guardian, Tribute Summons, Cannon Soldier, etc.

The only way you can do this is if you control Exiled Force yourself.

Bottom Line, if both of you control Exiled Force, you can use Soul Exchange and activate your own Exiled Force and tribute the opponent's instead.

You DO NOT gain control of the opponent's monster with Soul Exchange.

I've rechecked and the thread was refering to Exiled Force in terms of trying to tribute one of your opponent's monsters instead of your Exiled Force for Exiled's effect (you can't do so).

I'm soo off today... :(
