greetings all :)

here my question:
am i able to start more than only 1 chain in the damage step?

for example, i attack with an machine type monster. no response from my opponent. than in the damage step i activate my limiter removal, and my opponent chains with magic jammer, negating the limiter.

i know, i cant chain with an second limiter, because of spell speed, but can i simply create a new chain? i let the first resolve completely, and than, still in the damage step, i activate my second limiter removal. or is the damage step forced to go to the end of the damage step?

Hope you understand what i mean :D

You could start a new chain if the last 1 was resolved.

Not exactly in Damage Step if a counter trap card is activated, when resolves there is no time between the chain and damage calculation. In Battle step, however, you can have the number of chains you want.

Duelmaster is correct.

The ruling was changed so that you can have multiple chains activated in the Declaration Step and the Damage Step.

So once the first chain resolves (where "Limiter Remover" is negated), the player can then start a new chain and activate another "Limiter Remover".

It was a posting Kevin made on the mailing list awhile ago. I remember seeing it back on the ygonorthwest.com forums. Without going through a long search and find, those are the places you can look to find it as well.

Ok thanks. This link goes to a YuGiOhRealms thread that talks about this situation. Be sure to read the WHOLE thread to understand the entire situation (some things posted in the beginning are slighly incorrect). I just made a post about it asking if it is official now, because that is a question that many people want answered. And also, a thankyou to Shai Hulud for making the thread :D

Just think about it exiledforcefreak

This gives peopla chance to make a come back.

exiledforcefreak: activates Sakuretsu Armor due to Player B's ATK with Gate Guardian
Player B: activates Seven Tools of the Bandit to negate exiledforcefreak's Sakuretsu Armor
Resolve Steps....

after the whole chain has resolved, you still have a chance to activate Mirror Force in response to negate Player B's attack with Gate Guardian and destroy Gate Guardian and other monsters on your opponent's side of the field that are in attack mode.

No you may not. Mirror Force may only be activated in Response to a declaration of an Attack i.e it may only be activated in the first chain. Any subsequent chain is in response to the previouys chain resolving not in response to the declaration of an attack.

oh i see, but you can still do this correct?

Player A: attacks Player B with Gemini Elf and selects X-Head Cannon
Player B: responds with Mirror Force
Player A: activates Seven Tools of the Bandit
Player B: does not respond
Resolve steps backwards....

but after that chain is resolved, Limiter Removal can be activated correct? is this what this topic was about?

strike ninja is correct. on an attack declaration you can activate more than 1 chain.
e.g.
A attacks,
B waboku
A seven tools
resolves.....

new chain:
B mirror force.... this is legal!

but i wasn't sure about the damage step, if it is the same. but it seems to be the same. thx people. :)

No its not legal, Mirrior Force can only be activated in the first chain.
You may have UNLIMITED chains in the BATTLE STEP... but only the first one is in response to the Attack.

Player a Attacks
Player a passes priority
Playe B Mirror Force
Player A Seven Tools

then resolve

then Player A passes priority
Player B Waboku..

THAT would be legal.  Not the other way around.

.... But Mirror Force can only be activated in the chain responding to the Attack, same goes for Sakuretsu Armor, Draining Shield, Magic Cylinder, Enchanted javelin.

hmmm, brings up a question,


> player b attacks
> player A chains mirror force
> player b does not respond
> player A chains magic cyclinder.

Legal or no??? both mirror force and magic cyclinder can ONLY be activated by the triggering effect
of an attack, one negates it, the other destroys all monsters on the field. Sooo, how does magic cyclinder
get actiated? Mirror Force has already responded to the attack therefore Magic Cyclinder should NOT be
able to be chained at all, either here or as a separate chain. What do you think?

This is legal.
This example is (maybe was... I haven't been there for a while xD) on the UDE at the Advanced Rulings FAQ -> Chaining.

The rule goes about this:

If you start a chain with a card which can only be activated in one special case (e. g. Mirror Force -> only as a response to an attack declaration), you can chain every other card which has the same timing for activation (e. g. Magic Cylinder -> it has the same timing for activation like Mirror Force).
