Non-Spellcasting Area
continuous spell card

All face-up Monster Cards on the field, except for Effect Monsters, are unaffected by any Spell Card (excluding this card).

1.Will Non-Spellcasting Area allow my normal monster like Mad Dog to escape spell card like Snatch Steal, Creature Swap, Lightning Vortex, Enemy Controller and Fissure?

2.and does Non-Spellcasting Area mean Spell Card play by both player? (assume NSA was on my side of the field)

3.and will continuous spell card that's already on the field like Level Limit Area B and Sword of Revealing Light affect Normal Monster?

Just wanna make sure Non-Spellcasting Area means, " ANY normal (excluding continuous, equip and quick play) spell cards play by your opponent will not affect your normal monster on the field."

4.And when they say Effect Monster, does that mean monster with active effect or just about any monster that has the word "Effect" and "flip effect" on its card?

5.What if Skill Drained was on the field, making all Effect Monster normal, will these monsters be effected by Non-Spellcasting Area? or it doesn't matter, just as long as the cards has the word "effect" on it, it is effected by Non-spellcasting area?

1) Yes
2) Yes
3) No
4) Any card that has the word effect next to it's type, or a Spirit/Union monster, or a Fusion or Ritual monster with the word Effect next to the word Ritual
5) Skill Drain doesn't change the monsters into Normal monsters, just negates their effects, so you can try to activate Tribe as many times as you wish a turn to discard, but it will get negated each time.

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. No
4. ANY monster that has the word effect on it like Warrior/Effect, or Thunder/Effect.
5. "Skill Drain" DOES NOT make an effect monster normal. See answer to #4 for the answer to the rest of this one.


"Dust Barrier" may be a better card since ALL face-up Normal monsters are not affected by YOUR OPPONENT'S spell cards. That means YOU can still use them w/o worry.

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. No. NSA makes all normal monsters uneffected by any spells, including continuous, equip, and quickplay
4. "Effect monsters" means just that; any monster with an effect. It doesn't matter what kind of an effect it is.
5. Skill Drain doesn't change Effect Monsters to Normal Monsters, it just negates their effects. (You still treat them as effect monsters though, for the purposes of cards like NSA, Ceasefire, ect.)

EDIT: I NEED A TYPING CLASS!!!
Seriously, I can type like 1 word a minute.

I prefer non-spellcasting area over dust barrier, because NSA STAYS on the field until it is destroyed, and not for just two turns.

Yeah, so you can skip up to three standby phases (not thinking of cards like Mask of Darkness)... So what? after five turns it's automatically destroyed...

I still prefer Non-Spellcasting Area over it :p

Ok, now I'm confused. If you use "Solomon's Lawbook" during your opponent's turn before the standby phase that would destroy "Dust Barrier", then "Dust Barrier" remains on the field...forever (or until it gets destroyed by your opponent some how). It will not destroy itself since the 2nd Standby Phase was skipped.

That's what I was referring to....lol.

No, Chillout, you misunderstand. If you skip "the second standby phase" then the next one is the third standby phase, and Dust Barrier will no longer be removed from the field due to its own effect, regardless of how many more standby phases you have afterwards.

Question: (assume NSA is active on the field)
1.So if my opponent play Sword of Revealing Light, can my normal monster still attack? (because its unaffect by spell card)

2.So a normal monster (face down) can be crossed out by Nobleman of Crossout, right? but will not be booked down by Book of Moon, rite?


Thank you for the wisdom. Now I'll play Non-Spellcasting Area deck with Skill Drained. LOL
I can't waite untill Chaos deck see the look on their face when my normal monster are kicking azz. j/k.

No, it's not destroyed. If that paticular standby phase is skipped it stays out on the field until it's destroyed by another card effect (other than Dust Barrier's)

Ok.. Weird ruling...

If you think logical (I know, thinking logical is not logical in Yu-Gi-Oh!) it goes on like this:

Your turn: Activate Dust
Opponent's turn: you do nothing
Your turn: Draw Phase -> Standby phase 1 for DB -> Main Phase: you activate Solomon's Lawbook
Opponent's turn: you do nothing
Your turn: Draw Phase -> Main Phase 1 -> End turn
Opponent's turn: do nothing
Your turn: Standby 2 for DB, so it is destroyed

I wonder why those guys from Konami did the illogical...

lol..that's not quite right.

The scenario 'could' be something like this:

Player A activate "Dust Barrier", no response from Player B.
Player A ends turn.
Player B does whatever, but does not destroy "Dust Barrier".
Player B ends turn.
Player A does whatever, then SETS "Solomon's Lawbook". "Dust Barrier" is still active and 1 standby phase has passed now.
Player A ends turn.
Player B does whatever, but does no destroy "Dust Barrier".
Player B ends turn, Player A activates "Solomon's Lawbook" during Player B's end phase.
Player A draws, then skips 2nd Standby Phase, so "Dust Barrier" would remain active on the field until destroyed by another effect.

Make sense?

I thought that skipping a phase means that you don't even ENTER it...

So skipping your draw phase meant that you immediately enter your Standby Phase..

So that means that skipping your standby phase goes like Draw Phase -> Main Phase 1... Which means that there hasn't been a second standby phase YET

Ah well, even judges of the first hour make mistakes (I was 1 of the first in the Netherlands), especially in Yu-Gi-Oh ^_^

Dust Barrier is destroyed during your second Standby Phase after activation. If you skip that Standby Phase using solomen's lawbook then it's missed the Standby Phase that it can destroy itself in. It does not start recounting Standby Phases.

In your scenario Chillout your activating Solomen's Lawbook to early (SP1). You wait for the Standby Phase it's going to destroy itself in and skip that one. That's how the combo works.

This was stated already: Skill Drain does not make Effect Monsters Normal, it just negates their continuous/triggered effects, and the effects (stuff during resolution) of their ignition effects.
