There is 1 part in Yu-Gi-Oh! where I see no one mentioning about. That's the time ruling.

Take for an example, Peten The Dark Clown. If it is tributed, you don't get the effect because it is not the so-called "last thing that happened".

Another example would be Archfiend Of Gilfar. Its effect cannot be activated when you discard it during Magic Jammer as once again it is not "the last thing that happened". The last thing that happened is Magic Jammer negates the magic effect. However, you can use Painful Choice and drop it into grave. That would be the "last thing that happened".

I have a question on this. Does this happens ALL the time to ALL legal cards? Such as Night Assassin?

Can you give the date that they made that ruling, because I couldn't find it in the archives.

EDIT: The ruling that I stated is also on the UDE Rulings page over here.

Edit: I suppose they did change the ruling but I don't see why DMoC gets special treatment.

Dark Magician of Chaos is indeed an optional trigger.

The ruling in the FAQ is outdated and was put there prior to the Judges List ruling that blade146 posted. Jeff actually made that post when we had a discussion similar to this one. They had original ruled it as mandatory and it was later discovered that it was incorrect based on Jeff's inquiry.

You can tell by Curtis' "You know what? You'd be right." answer.

Hope that helps
