To be fair, as far as I'm aware a monster that was flipped and then un-flipped remembers if it was: Special Summoned, Tribute Summoned, Fusion Summoned, Synchro Summon or Xyz Summoned... but does not remember being Pend Summoned. YGO is weird. Edit:Derped up and wrote link summoned.

about question 4, according to the rulings from ygorganization in their article "Demystifying Rulings, Part 13: Advanced Rulings" Monsters that are flipped face down remember how they are summoned when flipp face up again, so why would white wing magician forget this? Is this specific to pendulum? quote for anybody that cares "However, while the monster forgets that it was Summoned using specific Tributes or materials, it does not forget a general Special Summoning method (such as a Tribute Summon, Fusion Summon, Synchro Summon, etc.) For example, a Tribute Summoned monster that is banished temporarily will still be protected by March of the Monarchs when it returns to the field."

[@data83035]

yeah I'm assuming this is just specific to pendulums for some reason. for other kinds of summoning I know they don't froget

Random ruling question that I came across in live play. P1 activates Chaos Dragon Levianeer by banishing 2 Lights and 1 Dark from GY, activates the effect to destroy up to 2 cards on the field. Makes a mistake here and declares the targets to be opponents two back row even though Levianeer does not target. P2 chains the backrows to Levianeers effect. After this P1 realises that Levianeer doesn't target are they allowed on resolution of Levianeer to destroy other cards on the field or do they have to complete the effect with the original targets even though the effect does not target?

[@KariFeRawri]

Regarding rulings about spellcounters: it's a shame that only cards that have effects related to spellcounters can have them, by that logic non-alien monsters cannot hold a-counters edit: corrected spelling of thar to that. edit 2: yes I'm aware a-counters and spellcounters and even venom counters function differently, but I'm saying spellcounters fell more restrictive compared to other counters

[@AG-it4im]

A-counters and spell counters are different

[@MegaMachiOnline]

I think the main thing is that Spell Counter holders have a set limit/implied limit to how many can be held at a time and are more baked into the cards, whereas A Counters, Venom Counters, and even Venom Counters function more like Guard Counters. They have no limit to them and are intended to be placed onto monsters that cannot use nor generate them too directly. Kinda like, if you could Spell Power Grasp any monster.

[@vitos3769]

I don't get the last question, if skullcrobat was summoned from the extra deck how can it even activate its effect for the toad to negate? cause toad negates and set, then at that point skull must have been normal summon so whim witch shouldn't activate?

[@ASDFbecker]

it gets treated as an extra deck monster, because the Toadally Awesome first destroys it before summoning it. So it goes from field to face up extra deck and then to the opponents field.

[@littledyu-gi-oh3580]

@DistantCoder or anyone else that knows the answer for sure. I don't know hot to search this, but I have a question regarding the text "even if this card leaves the field" on a continuous spell or trap, take Myutant Clash for example. This card says that it negates a monster for the rest of the turn even if this card leaves the field. The question is, does this effect resolve and negate a monster if the card itself is removed from the field upon activation (before resolving) or does the "even if this card leaves the field" part says that the negation is still applied if it resolves , but later gets removed from the field?

I mean trif has shown to be an insanely competent pendulum player playing through bricked hands and playing out extended lines, but this ruling quiz is about things unrelated to that completely, so even though I would say from what I've seen he's a pretty technical player, they present situations that would never happen.,

[@ave_maria323]

Tbf if you don't play Geminis the ruling on the dark valkiria is iffy

[@potatoexe5410]

it has more to do with how a card without an effect to hold spellcounters can't hold them than it being Gemini. example negate the effects of a monster that has spellcounters with imperm/skilldrain/veiler and they will lose the spellcounters as well as you not being able to give them spellcounters off other effects till their effects are no longer negated

It's really silly that spell counters can't be put on every card. They still have to be put on cards by card effects, so it's not like every face-up card passively accumulates masses of spell counters to be abused by a spell-counter-using card that rolls around eventually.
