Very good reminders! I would like to add that people watch out for cards that bounces/shuffle/target cards, such as Salad Heatleo. I went to a regional and my opponent summoned Heatleo, targeting my Kyoutou Waterfront. I read Heatleo too late into the game, and realized it can only shuffle back cards in the Spell/Trap zone, which, the Field Zone is not a Spell/Trap zone. So, watch out for things like this! Another good example is Knightmare Cerberus can only target monsters in Main Monster zones, not extra monster zone. I made this mistake myself. lol

[@vanityra5145]

*shuffle

[@mariorovira3639]

Another misplay I have noticed a lot is sky Striker kagari v revival effects such as shark cannon or hiita. It’s very easy to forget the method in which kagari was summoned because that’s usually something you never think about but it actually matters because if you use raye effect to summon kagari then that kagari was not inherently link summoned. Therefore, your opponent cannot revive it with shark cannon/ hiita.

[@mezzickdarkspark4697]

Hey Tom, 2 questions If a player pendulum summons zefraniu and harmonizing, does only one of them activate since each card says "when this card", so they either get a monster from the deck from harm or a zefra strike, or do they get both effects since they a pendulum summon is considered 1 summon and they'd activate simultaneously? Second question: Does there can only be one prevent a player from summoning a 2nd monster. Player A has there can only be one, player 2 has 1 monster on the field and summons a 2nd monster, does there can only be one trigger making that player choose which monster they want and destroy the other, or does it just prevent them from attempting to summon a 2nd monster altogether? Thanks

[@ogeid772]

1 both Harmonizing Magician and Zefraniu can activate, and the player summoning them gets to choose which order of chains they will be. 2 unless the monster you want to summon has a different type, you can not summon it when you already control a monster

[@jofx4051]

1. You can choose if you want activate both of them (you can choose which order of them to activate), the pendulum summon is counted as 1 summon for all of these monsters 2. There can be only one is a continous trap, it does not trigger You cannot attempt to summon monster with same type as monster on your field (but you can set it) If just somehow you control no monster, you can summon any type of monsters altogether (in case of pendulum summon) but you get too choose which one you need to send until you control exactly 1 of each type if that trap was already on field Sending monster (if with same type; just in case you flipped face up these monster on your field) because of that trap effect will not trigger some of monster effect in GY (correct me if I am wrong)

Tombox to confirm. Say u control Watch Cat and Mystic Mine. Could u banish Watch Cat in the end phase search say a Wave Motion Cannon which then means you have no monsters and then consider mystic mines effect about having equal number of monsters on the field.

[@Eclipse-nc7cn]

There’s one time i saw i guy just randomly activate gnomaterial (not on the summon of a monster) and it’s illegal, also, I’ve seen people search fog blade with cloak which is also illegal as fog blade is not a ‘the phantom knight’ card it’s just Phantom Knight’s Fog Blade

[@koala5232]

I'm not sure you are correct about the mystic mine widow anchor thing. Mystic mine's trigger doesnt activate instantly once both players have monsters. It does however, need to be activated before leaving the end phase, as it is mandatory. This is similar to Yosenjus not having to go back to the hand as soon as the end phase is reached, and do not need to be on the same chain, despite having the same trigger. Since the trigger says "during the end phase", the player can choose when to apply it, so long as they do so during the end phase. See also: Card of Demise letting you discard your hand before spirits return to it, or after. Psyframe lord omega being able to come back during the sp after you have resolved some other effects, "such as activating gozen match/rivalry so he goes straight to gy".

[@koala5232]

This is relevant in the following scenario for example. My opponent controls 2 monsters. I activate personal spoofing, then i activate multifaker. I summon multifaker, then summon silquitus. Now i control 2 monsters, i decide not to apply mystic mine just yet, activate silquitus and bounce multifaker as cost, then use spoofing to shuffle silquitus into the deck and search meluseek, so i have 0 monsters again. Now, mystic mine's condition no longer spplies and i need not apply the trigger anymore.

[@MSTTV]

Mystic mine as you said just has to activate at some point in the end phase. It's mandatory and it's a trigger. Not some lingering already resolved effect. Let me clarify this based on your examples. Card of Demise has a lingering effect (not trigger), you card effect has already applied, so you can choose when you fulfill the effect. (Not a mandatory trigger) Your multifaker altergeist, okay you activate your Multifaker and reduce your monster count back to 0. Thats fine, now Mystic Mine can't activate. Turn passes. Because you have quick effects to manipulate it. The widow anchor example: Widow anchor vs Mystic Mine. If you have used Widow Anchor whole controlling Mystic Mine. if you control a shizuku, and your opponent links up all their monster down to Phoenix by wasting all those monsters. You widow anchor and steal the Phoenix. During the end phase if you control 2 monster and your opponent controls 0. Mystic Mine can't activate trigger condition is not met. l, but since you have to return the monster, you send it back. Turn doesn't just move forward ... Both players now have 1 monster a piece. Mandatory Trigger condition is now met in the end phase and if you have no further effects mystic mine triggers.

Hey I got a question. Cyberse wicckid banishes balancer Lord from the gy to search a cyberse tuner. Wicckid banishes as cost, balancer Lord has a trigger effect when banished. Now I only see it on programs like ygopro but wicckid banishes and balancer Lord activates in a different chain. Is that right? How do trigger effects work when they trigger due to card cost?

[@MSTTV]

Trigger effects activate in a new chain if their trigger is met because they are spell speed 1. Think Atlantean Prince's effect: when it sends Dragonos to graveyard for cost, that dragoons doesnt start a chain block. U add the monster then activate dragoons in an new chain. If multiple triggers happen at the same time in a previous chain, then they stack in the new chain. Anything that can activate under a condition in response to a card happening like true dracos are considered quick effects.

[@supersendojarren]

[@SWBF24ever]

What is your opinion on Ash vs Servant of endimyon? At German Nationals, it was ruled that you can attempt to ss servant if the effect was negated. It was actually my appeal, because I was under the impression that you can attempt, the floor judge ruled it otherwise. I pointed out that with Summon Limit negated effects to special summon to not count towards the limit.

[@turtle-bot3049]

This one comes down to effect negation vs activation negation. If the activation of the effect is negated, then it can be used again because the effect didn't activate at all. If the effect is negated, then it can't be used again because the effect was activated, it just didn't resolve. The attempt to special summon was successfully made (the activation went through), despite not resolving, therefore the attempt to do it again cannot happen that turn. (see the rulings on pot of desires) I believe it's ruled the same as desires where the scale effect of servent is an activate once per turn, not a use opt, despite not saying either, so if the activation is negated it, can be attempted again.

[@MSTTV]

NEW UPDATE BELOW :EDIT Ash vs Servant, I made a video in one of my later vids as an update on this to clarify this. This is something I learned by talking to the other judges. You can't attempt again. Because of her own effect of she can only be special summoned once. Even if you attempted to summon her out, but failed because the effect (not activation) was negated, game state would remember you attempted special summoned her at resolution. That attempt counts, unfortunately Precedent:, ritual beast tamer, if you monster reborn, and reborn gets imperial ordered. That same ritual beast tamer cannot be special summoned this turn because the summon was attempted.

[@thatoneguy2136]

2 reasons why people don’t run them, If you main them and open either one going first, that’s 1 less card that could have been a crucial combo piece so opening with a dark hole in hand is seen a waste Siding in going second tho, one would assume it would be a good choice however now days, decks tend to put multiple negations on board that it’s also seen as a waste Don’t get me wrong tho, board wipes if executed successfully can be very devastating and can even win you the game singlehandedly

[@joepiazza3756]

Mystic Mine popping effect is only mandatory when turn passes. You can still delay using it to during the actual end phase get the monsters to not be equal before you activate it, but once it's activated it's live and too late. And once you officially pass turn to the end of the end phase it's mandatory so it gets priority and needs to be chained anyways so it can't be avoided. I believe I'm not wrong on this.

[@nova7747]

It's ruled exactly how Tom spelled it out. It only tries to resolve if conditions are met.

[@joepiazza3756]

@@nova7747 What I am saying is that it doesn't automatically try to resolve in the end phase until the "end of the end phase". You can have equal monsters during the end phase but you still have time to make it different as long as you don't activate the effect yet. For instance it's your own end phase with 1 monster each. You didn't pass turn, just simply enter end phase. You flip a Shade Brigadine you forgot to flip. At this point you have 2 monsters and no longer need to activate mine. If you passed turn then you must activate it though.

[@_bsmooth]

Mystic mine says “during the end phase” that means if you enter the end phase and the trigger condition is met it will automatically trigger you only have time to fix the amount of monsters during the main phase2 once you say end phase it goes off. You’re probably referring to how card of demise requires you to dump your hand and you can bounce amano-iwato after you dumped your hand, that’s a case of player priority which you can choose the order of which cards activate. Mystic mine has priority of its trigger effect.

[@joepiazza3756]

@@_bsmooth You are interpreting priority wrong. Mystic Mine does not have to be the first action. It just has to be done before you are allowed to pass turn. You can't pass turn without activating it. If you pass turn, then at that point it will go off first. You can activate Ojama Trio or something during the end phase and then never use Mystic Mine in order for the conditions to no longer be in place.
