Stupid basic Swords of Revealing Light question

If someone plays Swords of Revealing Light does it stay on the field during the three turns or not?

I thought it went to the graveyard during the turn it was played, but someone else thinks not... And now we're not sure.... We're both second guessing ourselves, and confused.... We need a more experienced opinion..... A little help please? -_-()

Yes, it stays on the field. It was once part of the rulings until they finally made an errata to the text, which is currently:

[info2]Flip all monsters on your opponent's side of the field face-up. This card remains face-up on the field for 3 of your opponent's turns. While this card is face-up on the field, monsters your opponent controls cannot declare an attack. [/info2]

The joy of those really old cards is that they were made before the game mechanics were. Ordinarily it would be a Continuous Spell Card, but they didn't think about that then.

And of course I looked it up in the card rulings... And it wasn't there... (because it's errata, now, you see...)

And of course I have an old copy... Starter Deck Yugi Evolution, or possibly even just plain Starter Deck Yugi.

(*grumble*)

Thank you both for politely putting up with my inexperience and stupid questions...

Is there a nice easy listing somewhere of what cards have been issued with errata? I seem to remember if your cards have errata issued you're supposed to have a copy of the newer text available? Which would be much easier if you could double check against which cards have errata issued first, and then say "oh, I have that..." rather than have to compare your entire deck a card at a time to see if there is something changed or not.... (Was that sentence clear as mud? I know what I'm trying to say, but I don't think I said it too well....) I'm thinking that out of the 3,000+ cards out there, only a fraction have errata; it would be nice to know which do rather than worry about the entire 3,000.

Not to mention Geocities has the bandwidth of an actually rubber band. Maybe I can get a hold of one of the web admins and offer to host the info on CoG.

Now that would be sweet!

My home page was on Geocities and it was a scramble to find another decent hosting site. Everybody wants to set up a site for your business -- but there are still a lot of hobby pages out there.... Geocities filled a need nicely.... It's too bad it is gone.

My Deck Masters used to be on Geocities before they moved here.

Could the Wiki be put to some use in the respect of the errata? It's possible to lock some pages so they can't be edited, and some Wiki code could be used to make it easier to search.

In fact, they could even be integrated into the Simple Texts Project if people still cared about that.

I think it's also possible to lock pages so only a select few can edit them -- in this case, people with some sort of administrative and judge privileges would make sense so they could put up corrections and updates, but not just anyone could get in and mess about with stuff.

Mind you, I have no idea how this is done -- but I've heard of it being done on some of the subjects in Wikipedia so I'm guessing other Wikis have the capability also.

Does this need to start as a new discussion thread? We're a long ways away from my original question.

Wow, they changed Indomitable Gladiator Beast's effect so you can use GB CARDS instead of merely MONSTERS. I wonder if they'll have enough sense to errata Parry, Disarm, and Gladiator's Return the same way...

Also, any word yet if they've errata'd Dark World Grimoire's effect to clarify when you can activate it?

Nope, no errata yet. In the TCG, they can only use "Gladiator Beast" monsters.

What's so unclear about "Dark World Grimoire"? You can only activate its effect in response to the discard.

Yes, but discard due to WHAT, is my problem; the OCG merely states that it activates when you discard due to having more cards than your hand size limit, with no mention of what that limit has to be, at the time (meaning that if Hieroglyph Lithograph bumps your HSL to 7, or Enervating Mist drops it down to 5, you can still activate Grimoire if you're forced to discard for having more cards than that), but the TCG is written so it only activates when you discard due to having more than 6 cards in your hand, a set limit independent of what your HSL is, at the time. If we were to go by the old guideline of "What's written on the card is what you go by for its efffect", this means that you can ONLY activate it if your HSL is at 6, and you're forced to discard due to having more cards than that; if your HSL is set at anything else, and you're forced to discard due to having more cards than THAT, you can't activate Grimoire. An errata should be in order to clarify that the card works with your HSL no matter what it's set at, instead of the set number it lists in its effect, right now.
