Summon Limit

[Terry the Elder]

Thanks to everybody on my earlier post.

New question

I have face down summon limit.

Opponent has face down monster. He flips hopolmus. I respond with summon limit. If he summons anything else e.g. test tiger, I assume he cannot use priority to tag the gladiator beast out as my summon limit prevents it.

Alternatively if I respond to the summon of test tiger, with summon limit, when he already had a face up galdiator beast would the tag summon go thru, if he claimed priority, or would summon limit stop the tag in its tracks? I know summon limit counts summons already mde before it activates (I read netrep)

Thanks in advance:?:

I can't find a single card in the game named "hopolmus"...

you porbably mean Hoplomus

Ruling: If you Flip Summon 3 monsters during your turn, you can activate "Summon Limit" afterwards in the same turn, but you cannot Summon any monsters for the rest of the turn.

this means that any amount may be flip summoned before Summon Limit is flipped. Once Summon Limit is flipped, a check is made as to howmany were allready summonede this turn. If htis is 2 or more, no more summons can be done, the earlier summons happened while Summon Limit was not active, thus they aren't effected

thanks for that, I never could sepll.

Has anyone got an answer to my second question in that I respond the the special summon of test tiger while opponent has an appropriate face up target and claims priority.



Opponent has face up gladiator beast (say Hoplomus) flipped summoned this turn.
He special summons test tiger and claims priority and tributes test tiger to send back his Hoplomus) to summon Laquari.
I chain summon limit to test tigers effect.
Will my opponents sunmmon go thru or will summon limit stop the tag in/out.


As I see it

Chain resolves backward, summon limit resolves, counts number of summons already made and opponent cannot summon anymore this turn unless he kills summon limit.
I am aware that the number of summon negators are limited, but it seems to me that opponent cannot place his laquari on the field as summon limit says he cannot, because he has already reached his maximum this turn.

Taking my logic further.

Say opponent special summons cyber dragon and then normal summons reaper. He then activates premature burial and I chain summon limit, can premature resolve as summon limit counts summons made and stops player from going past two. In this case he has already reached his max and premature cannot resolve because summon limit says he cannot summon anymore monsters. I am not negating prem simply stopping it resolving.

It may be that I end up asking opponent to inform me when he enters main phase and thereby flipping summon limit before he conducts any summon at all.
I understand that summon limit checks what has happened before it is activated and that you can summon more than two before you activate it and that is fine.

it will porbably (check my spelling) end up as a timing issue.

sorry for being a pain, but I need to be clear in my mind that I am playing the card correctly.

You can chain Summon Limit to an effect that will Summon a monster. If, once Summon Limit resolves, the opponent has already Summoned too many monsters, the effect that was chained to will disappear because another Summon is not allowed.

For your examples, the effect of Test Tiger will disappear, and the effect of Premature Burial will disappear. If it was Call of the Haunted, it would remain on the field meaninglessly (since it's a Continuous card, of course), and it would not Summon a monster (the effect disappears like the others).

Thank you Maruno.

There are lots of gladiator beast decks in my local area and my side deck just underwent a change.

Thanks
