[@LoboCrepuscularZelda]

A monster that is unaffected by card effects shouldn't be able to be sent to the GY by the effect of Last Turn. The reason why is because, the part that reads "[...] send all other cards on the field and in their respective owners' hands to their respective Graveyards." is written the same in the OCG as Chaos Emperor Dragon's pre-errata'd text from that era. Meaning, the activated effect of Last Turn sends all the other cards to the GY, it does not force the controlling player to send their cards to the GY.

[@BramLastname]

@@LoboCrepuscularZelda while in theory this is true, Konami has also set president that some cards can affect unaffected cards, Not because they aren't immune, but because that's how Konami wants the card to work.

[@komeiuo3465]

[@KuroeNezumi]

@@seqka711 that's the exact reason why they went for the sucker punch at the end: the other questions were relatively tame by comparison.

But did he actually get 8/8? Go back to question 4 where he says for his final answer that the player can activate their opponent's Sarama instead of their own Ghost Belle, so I'd argue he actually got a 7/8.

[@MrMIDP]

Just to complement the last question, substitution destructions are indeed done after the damage calculation byt you deciding if you are gonna apply the substitution effect occurs during damage calculation (this is mandatory in relinquished case so it doesn't matter but in case you have lost world + token you decide if you protect it during damage calc but destroy the dino after damage calc)

[@IamGrimalkin]

One question: if you use Dingirsu to substitute a destruction, does it detach after damage calculation?

[@tefa8927]

Honestly this might've been one of the hardest quizzes too, good shit

[@monikamiller9588]

I think the last question actually makes sense, specifically because the end of damage step substep states it sends monsters destroyed by battle to the graveyard, but in this case the monster equipped is destroyed by card effect, not battle as it’s a substitute for the Relinquished. It is a bit counterintuitive but it’s similar to Legendary Six Samurai Shi En’s protection effect where it destroys another Six Samurai monster as a card effect instead of battle.

[@joanaguayoplanell4912]

This ruling is most often seen in effect in Dinosaur decks. Tokens saved from battle destruction have triggered Babycerasaurus and Petiteranodon left and right all over the world.

The Green Baboon ruling precedent on activating multiple trigger effects in hand is one of the rulings I unfathomably dislike the most :)

They didn't specify, does the ruling only prevent you from activating several copies of the same effect in your hand or does it also prohibit the activation of multiple different effects?

[@ReidMcCorkle]

When the knowledge is encyclopedic

[@xCorvus7x]

I think one reason for Relinquished and Thousand-Eyes Restrict to destroy their substitute after damage calculation and not later is flavour. After damage calculation is a phase where the monster determined by the battle calculation to be destroyed draws its last breath: its lights go out, its continuous effects stop applying, before it is destroyed and leaves the field at the end of the damage step. Relinquished, however, doesn't die so easily and immediately substitutes the monster it had absorbed, destroying it right after the damage calculation. Since that is a destruction by card effect, it is instantaneous.

[@MasterQuestMaster]

Man, ruling quiz was Coder‘s best content of all time.

[@Goblin_Hands]

I remember when I was annoyed people used terms like "pop", "bounce" and "spin", (what is this, Bop-it?) but "fizzle" lol I think I was always ok with that one. Banish and Pierce were so spot on they became legalized, maybe fizzle can as well...it's not too late. Sounds better than excavate lol. Should there be more shortcuts for return? What is return to GY? Plant? If spin is to top of deck, what about bottom? Sink? What about the term...sizzle?

[@Luckingsworth]

Note that bounce is a term engrained in playable card games at this point thanks to uts origins the MTG card "Bounce" that returns a creature to the hand. So it was not a made up goofy term like the rest but an established term for that effect 🙂

So what I’m understanding is that you have used a gagagaga magi to make an F0 and then you’re trying to use the gagagaga eff to make cook a 4k beater but negate its effects and then you chain cooks eff to pop all cards on your field, so in this case the cook will just be unaffected and nothing will happen
