That Mudballman one was sick. The only reason I guessed it was because of interactions with Widow Anchor.

[@Ser--]

PSCT knowledge always ends up making or breaking the results anyways.

[@lolaandjoe123]

@@haruhirogrimgar6047 OH does Widow Anchor work similarly?

[@haruhirogrimgar6047]

@@lolaandjoe123 I believe so. You can't steal normal monsters or cards whose effects cannot be negated. The example I know is that if they try to steal Subterror Guru I can chain Subterror Final Battle and use the 4th effect to make it so Subterror effects cannot be negated. Then Widowmaker does nothing, according to a regional judge at least.

[@thenman7575]

@@haruhirogrimgar6047 Final Battle does not prevent the effects of your Subterror monsters from being negated. All it does is that when your effect would be negated, it resolves normally anyway. If Widow Anchor resolves, by targeting your Subterror monster, it successfully negates the effects of it and therefore it is possible to take control of it.

[@sockywilliams]

Fun fact: after summoning starving venom fusion dragon via ultra polymerization, you cannot use ultra polymerization's grave effect to summon the fusion materials because the fusion materials listed on starving venom fusion dragon are 2 dark monsters on the field, which the materials in grave no longer are.

[@ogeid772]

This becomes a bit funnier when you remember the only time Ultra Polymerization appeared in the anime, it was used for that play especifically

[@half_blood]

@@ogeid772 It really is funny, but the card in the anime works differently, mainly it doesn't target the fusion monster for the effect, but the materials themselves.

[@TheForeverRanger]

Same reason why you can't use something like Fusion Reserve on a Pair Cycroid.

[@half_blood]

@@TheForeverRanger Not really, that is for an entirely different reason.

Seperate question: if an opponent monster reborn’s your disk commander, can they activate its effect and if so, does its once per duel effect apply to the opposite player

[@pyrotempestwing]

A) They will draw 2 cards 2) “You can only … once per duel” is always applied to each player separately. They control Disk Commander’s effect, so they can only use it once.

[@icefiredragon94]

It's strange, I find it really funny I've learned so many ruling interactions from play the World Championship series of games and it helped me get some questions right here. Who says games can't teach you anything haha. Good stuff Coder.

[@TheDocperian]

That Hornet Drones wording still seems dumb. Coder went on to talk about how it's all about the printed Attack, but as MBT said shouldn't the "instead" at the end of the sentence mean it modifies what's printed on creation? Like they could've just said "it gains 1500 Atk" or not included "instead" if it was boosting rather than imply it alters the base

[@EeveeReturn]

I'm guessing it's a "have their cake and eat it too" kind of wording where they didn't want the original attack to change, but they also didn't want the change in attack to interact with effects that trigger in response to an attack gaining or stat altering effect.

[@themarvelamerica]

Yes i thnk is wrong beacause the word instead is permanent indicating it becomes original atk

[@amethonys2798]

Yeah idk what's going on here. The instead is super weird. If it's original attack is considered 0 does that mean (if the token somehow switches to attack position) I could pop it with 103 or something?

[@TheAndyonaleash]

The 1500 atk/def is after resolution of drones. This condition is applied after it check the GY. It would need to say " the Tokens Original atk/def become 1500 instead" Having the word instead means any temporary atk/def reverts back to 1500. Without that card text could revert it to 0/0

[@xatuyou8045]

The original attack of a card can only be changed in the monster zone. Regardless of whether or not hornet drones did change the original attack, plasma still gains 0 attack. A similar situation would be if plasma equips a fusilier dragon That was summoned without tributing, plasma still gains 1400 attack.

[@hazemnada798]

"There is no such thing as interesting HERO ruling questions"

[@timaeus22222]

The ruling of Flame Wingman vs. The Prime Monarch was interesting - it's analogous to Anki vs. a monster that would do something when it leaves the field, like go to the bottom of the Deck, be banished, etc. It didn't go to the GY, so Anki doesn't activate there to search.

Phoenix enforcer is a floating/lingering effect that activates in your turn, but resolves in the next SB phase, right? Similar like VW Jiji, which is activated in hand, and resolving it's second part in the EP. Correct me if im wrong.

Since DPE has already activated it's effect to perform the special summon the summon itself which happens at the next standby cannot be negated

[@Goblin_Hands]

7:45 I remember Honest was said to be used at almost any time, notably during Damage Calculation, not sure if I was being cheated out on that, but the card always read "Damage Step" while Injection Fairy Lily read Damage Calculation. That being said, I think no cards can be used during Damage Calculation unless it is printed on the card, but Start Step, Damage Step and "Before Damage Calculation" all seem relatively flexible, it seems to be Battle Step, specifically Attack Declaration, in which only one chain can be made.

[@Goblin_Hands]

8:35 I'm confused how he came to this conclusion as it was just stated multiple chains can be formed in "Before Damage Calculation", as the answer implies there is only one chain in "Before Damage Calculation"

[@Nightmare_52]

oh hey an archetype i actually know something about, how interesting

[@novaausakura5898]

Btw, if anyone was wondering, even if you do negate the Mudballman with Imperm, you can still chain the set Chalice to the Imperm as chains resolve backwards, meaning the Chalice activates before the column gets negated. Just a little TCG ruling most people dont know about

[@syrelian]

That.... shouldn't be a "little ruling" thats straight up how chains work, Infinite Imperm doesn't have a "cards in this column can not be activated in response/during this chain" clause Chalice activates after Imperm, and then Chain Resolution means it resolves first, Imperm's negation can't stop it because its too late This is basic chains in a nutshell, you could do this shit with Imperial Order and Royal Oppression and what not

[@gerardonava8911]

That Solemn Judgement question about DPE an easy no because the effect of summon upon next turn is an effect resolving after it was destroyed and since the effect resolved and not negated in the chain it will be allowed to special summon a Destiny HERO. The summon effect is triggered during the previous turn even if Judgement was set it still wouldn't activate because it's a monster effect and Judgement can't negate monster effects. If you are going to use a solemn against DPE it has to be Solemn Strike but it has be in a chain of the activation of DPE. Obviously you can use Judgement against DPE if the opponent used Fusion Destiny or Poly to summon it, that will work.

[@dynosgarcia7645]

[@HaydenX]

That one with Solemn versus Destroy Phoenix is the only one I got wrong, and I think I got it wrong because I also played MtG for years and got it in my head that Destroy Phoenix's self-summoning effect was akin to a triggered ability in MtG, and because Solemn just says it can negate any summon I wasn't thinking about the idea that the delayed summon only starts a chain when it initially activates and not at the actual time of the summon. Sometimes I look at this game and think: "Wow...this game's complexity makes Go look like Tic-Tac-Toe and MtG look like Checkers".

@@Lionthehawaiian Not a judge, but the reason you can activate rampage's effect on turn one of the duel is because it does more than just affect battle phase.

You totally can, the reason stuff like Abyssmegalo can't be done is because the activation and effect are ineffectual and thus illegal, same reason you can't activate something to SS from hand and then go "oops no targets", or an effect that destroys an opponent's monster while they have none CTRD does other things so its effect is still effective and thus legal
