It took me until last year to see that Mekk-Knight Crusadia Avramax had a GY effect to shuffle any card on the field back to the deck because I've never seen Avramax go to the GY until that moment.

[@Trekkie46]

This is one of the effects nerfed by a rule change that I immediately complained about. The change was that a card had to be revealed during activation in order for the effect to activate. So it used to be that if you returned Avramax to deck, the effect would activate. But now, even though Avramax leaves the field (the activation condition), it will not activate if it returns to the Extra deck or is banished face-down. This makes a big difference against things like Kashtira.

Necrovalley caused 8 different timelines to crash into each other I swear

[@BeaglzRok1]

That's because they actually errata'd Necrovalley's effect with a buff. It used to allow cards in the graveyard to get themselves out, but cards outside of the graveyard couldn't do anything; the door can only be opened from the inside. Another thing about Necrovalley is that it only negates the EFFECTS that move cards from the graveyard. That means if you have a card that shuffles from GY into the deck as a COST, such as how Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord shuffles back all monsters in order to Special Summon itself, or the costs of the new Fiendsmith cards' graveyard effects, then those are completely legal plays while Necrovalley is out.

You are right that neither of them start a chain, but Lubellion summons itself via its summoning condition, which is not an effect, while Horus monsters have an unclassified effect that allows you to special summon them from the GY, but that effect does get negated by Necrovalley. If you look at the OCG rulings database for Lubellion and the Horus monsters (or rather, Grapha is the main example in the Q&A, while the Horus monsters are just mentioned as a side note that the ruling applies to them as well), you will see that Lubellion is allowed to special itself under Necrovalley, while the Horus monsters (and Grapha) cannot.

One thing that rarely comes up, but always catches me by surprise is Evil Eye Retribution's "hidden effect".

It actually turns getting Red Rebooted into an advantage (except for the no more traps for the turn part).

[@JamesNintendoTurd]

If your opponent chains Red Reboot to Evil Eye Retribution while you control Evil Eye of Selene, you do not get to reset it and set a trap from your deck, because Red Reboot failed to negate the activation of the card, you don't do the rest of the effect.

As someone who PLAYS Ancient Gear, Chaos Giant's spell/trap immunity being both ways caught me so off-guard at one point, I tried to push for game with Limiter Removal but it doesn't work on it, I was so used to having a 9000 beatstick because of Power Bond that I totally forgot it was both ways- Imperm was one that I actually semi-recently had pop up, I had my normal summon negated by an Imperm but was like "That's fine, I've got an extender to summon" and then they activated a second imperm and I genuinely argued with them about it until I read Imperm's effect out loud word-for-word and then shame scooped as soon as I realized I was wrong Instant Fusion also got me for a while, I was running 3 Instant Fusion and 3 Panzer Dragon in my Cyber Dragon deck, because they were a level 5 light machine. At one time in Master Duel I opened an awful hand, but had two Instant Fusions, I thought "At least I can end on an Infinity", summoned one panzer, set the other card, forgot what panzer's destruction effect was and activated it, and had to pop my own Instant Fusion I set. I shame scooped immediately after that. I went down to 1 of each, and pretended it never happened. Also the Horus cards, I knew they had some ABSURD effects that people just, never used or payed attention to because herpadurr free level 8 bodies, like the fact you can get a draw 4 from one, a recycle 2 to hand, and one has a non-targeting non-destruction removal? It feels like these are custom cards that everyone just forgets the custom effects of- My pick for the card I totally thought worked differently is one I THINK not a whole lot of people are familiar with, Libromancers are one of my favorite archetypes, and they have been ever since I started messing with them when they were still new, and when you look at the Field Spell, "Libromancer First Appearance", you'd think "Ah, alright, it's a once per turn monster search and ritual summon, not bad". And for a while that's all I thought it was, but TURNS OUT, after playing it for a long time, both me, and my friends who played against it, never noticed that the ritual summon effect is NOT once per turn. I only ever noticed when I made it in Master Duel (before it had a pack, by the way), when I ritual summoned Firestarter for my combo and then saw the field spell was still glowing yellow. Needless to say it totally made me re-think how I saw Doombroker, because before it was a card that I'd use if I didn't have full combo because I thought I could only use the field spell once, and I'd rather use it for firestarter to get into full effects fireburst with the actual ritual spell. But the field spell just says that you can only ACTIVATE one per turn, so you activate the field spell, search on activation, and while it's there, you can just, keep ritual summoning Libromancers. And getting a 3700 atk monster with two attacks that can't be destroyed or banished OR beat over, and then ALSO having a 3100 monster that can attack directly, and shuffle back a card, AND set an omni-negate from deck suddenly made the deck go from "Mediocre Boss monster turbo that dies to a hand trap" to "Ritual Boss Spam that dies to a hand trap or two" The wording of "You can only activate one "Libromancer First Appearance" this turn" threw me and my friends off so much that I was actively nerfing myself.

Wait, Swords of revieling light doesn't prevent flips?!? I remember the german copy saying it does... There were probably a bunch of other flip up and/or check a card effects in the oldest of set that prevent flip activations and the effects just mixed in hour heads over the last 2 decades.

[@outdoorfr3ak]

Dude I almost can completely agree

[@spliceva]

Hey I commented this exact idea a couple weeks ago! Awesome stuff MBT.

[@singularsquids5753]

I swear to Christ the head judging continuous trap used to not take your opponents monsters permanently. I shat myself when I found out the card has always done that. Shit actually rocked my reality

[@Populon993]

Fitting topic, since I just recently had a "Mandela moment" in MD. I could swear that Salamangreat Roar only worked with a reincarnation summoned Link monster...because why wouldn't it? This is the whole gimmick of this archetype. So obviously an archetypal counter trap works with their gimmick. This was, until I faced them the other day and they pretty much only ended on a (what I thought) "dead" Roar...was kinda stunned when they flipped it up. Dryas also is a funny one, especially since I (casually) play plants. For the longest time I thought plant decks played Sunvine Shrine mainly as "backup search target", in case you already have Sowing. Then at some point I heard/ read that it actually was required for this janky Sunseed U-Link, which made me think "This can't be. How are you supposed to get both spells?" Took another while until I actually saw a combo in action, where they simply activated Dryas a second time.

[@tmaz9474]

You're confusing it with Rage, the other trap card. I know because I'm in the same boat, whenever I play against Salads, I have to constantly look up if Roar needs a reincarnation link :P

[@KizzyJay]

I played WAAAAY too much Tag force 1 to know that Swords does, in fact, activate flip effects. Its both good and bad for forcing out set cards just in case its THEE cyber jar. There is actually very few cards that had the "flip effects are not activated at this time" line from back then. Best ones are like Ceasefire and The Spell Absorbing Life.

[@Lagdarr]

I only know all these Horus card effects because I only play Master Duel and I see those fuckers all over ladder!

[@DrAiPatch]

Yup I have seem them jammed it to every kind of deck so far. Like someone in Master 3 playing SE Horus.

[@snes90]

I only read them after using them in a Naturia loaner deck in the new solo mode. These guys are nuts!

[@leof.1251]

I remember back in 2004 or so, Dust Tornado had the words "Negate a Spell or Trap Card, then destroy it", instead of being a slower MST that sets spells or traps from hand...

[@TheGuyWhoIsSitting]

I mean so many people think destroy means negate. I see it happen in the lower rungs of the ladders on duel links and master duel and so many people just surrender because they think I cheated or they just clicked buttons. “But it’s being destroyed!” Yeah, but its effect still resolves unless it says (this card must be face up on the field to activate and resolve this effect) or it’s a continuous spell/trap.

[@jeune-fou]

No, it never had the word "negate". Go on the ygo wikia page of Dust Tornado and check erratas (text for card effects) it'll show you all past versions of the card effect. And none of them use the word "negate". It was indeed "just" a slower mystical space typhoon that allows to set a spell/trap from the hand (but keep ind mind it was probably at a period mystical space typhoon was limited).

[@GH-un9uz]

Easily the funniest part of questing beast is that the line of text EVERYONE ignored/forgot (the ability that lets your creatures break through protection effects) ended up being its most relevant and useful once The One Ring was printed

[@ZackSparks]

I manage to forget Liquid Soldier can only use one effect per turn every time I play him, I think my first game playing it I managed to return it from grave and activate twice in a turn and now it's just stuck

[@tbarryvii9900]

I'm pretty sure swords not triggering flip effects was because light of intervention a pack-filler continous trap with a similar name also forced players to flip up all face down monsters and very pointedly did not trigger effects

[@jacobgonzales2780]

I always thought Chicken Game had text saying something similar to "Once per duel the turn player must resolve one of these effects. Draw one card Gain 1000 life points Something something Lose the duell" That's why I thought it was called Chicken Game!!

[@HopUpOutDaBed]

this is probably a just me thing, but I always remembered Thunder King Rai-oh just blanket preventing special summons. Turns out you have to tribute him for the effect to work. The blanket effect is just on adding cards from the deck to the hand

[@PhantomThiefXI]

i only noticed cerberus' third head on this video i read cerberus and only saw two heads and never blinked

[@skarloey1214]

Knightmare Orthrus.

[@TCGunsha]

I always thought solemn judgment can negate monster effects, but in fact it doesn't and its only negate summon not activated monster effects

[@UshiUshiKakuThe2nd]

Very niche one for me; I thought, from the time of it's reveal up 'til the release of CHIM, that Gladiator Beast Comeback was a Quick-Play. It took me to my first game with the then-new GB stuff that it was, in fact, a Normal Spell.

[@Caradin316]

Same, i kept getting it muddled with the fusion card.

[@hasan7275]

i’m sad nobody mentioned Zeus

[@brianhalligan9268]

I feel like a big reason for this is partly because the there is so much text and the text can be so small. I would not be shocked if many people simply misread a card and mentally assume what the rest of the text says based on prior experience of similarly worded cards. Kinda like those if you can read this backwards messages all over the internet.

[@trexdrew]

I’ve absolutely used multiple impermanence in a turn but I do check every time to make sure I’m not crazy! The same applies to called by too…if God ever sees fit to return it to unlimited…

[@3flax554]

Despite learning Endymion and making that my main deck in Legacy of the Duelist online, I constantly forget that Endymion himself is the only Endymion Pendulum that can be special summoned more than once per turn. This is especially funny because his S/T negate is a soft once per turn, meaning if you got all three Endymions on the field, you had 3 live negates. So him not having the restriction is hysterical.

[@vincentlai12]

Me learning that i am one of a few wild yugioh players who actually read cards. Context: back when sunavalon first came out, i was trying my hardest to trigger multiple dryas to get both shrine and the trap.

[@WarBuilder5426]

One from me, it took me a long time to realise that the protection Marincess Battle Ocean gives to cards link summoned with Crystal Heart was for Cyberse cards, not just Marincesses.

[@kylianos3907]

Fusion Grapha's float effect forces both players to discard. I swear someone wrote that on my sleeve when i wasn't looking

[@StarfieldDisarray]

I could swear Baronne didn't have a hard once clause tucked right in the middle of its text until I thought about flickering the card with Halberd Cannon.

[@BrendanoHarns]

When I first started getting back into the game after the covid break, I made a pile deck with branded fusion. I could've sworn it locked you into fusions for the REST of the turn, not the ENTIRE turn. People at locals, including real branded players, were just letting me summon galatea and ding in my going second mekk knight deck and then branded fusioning later in the turn. This went on for a solid four months. And it wasn't performing horribly.

[@windmirror7083]

Isolde was one for me. It's first effect prevents you from summoning any copies of the card it search....but doesn't prevent you from activating it as a pendulum scale or using its pendulum effect

[@skarloey1214]

Since when did Machina Fortress have a second effect?

[@henriquebecker4453]

6:57 when Cerberus had ben released I though it only had two heads and that the middle one was some weird kind of mambrane separating both it's heads, because cards are small it took me years to pay attention to it's art in order to figure out that the thing in the middle is also a head. It being a link 2 also contributed to make sence for it having two heads instead of thre despite being named Cerberus.

[@staruniva7522]

I had this moment while playing Dungeon Duel Monsters when I was reading Evilswarm Kerykeion. I completely forgot that card had the effect to let you Normal Summon an lswarm monster for 1 less Tribute because it almost never came up. This made me go and check its carbon copy Constellar Sombre, and sure enough it also had the same effect for Constellar.

[@bp874]

Swords of revealing light never had that effect of canceling flip effects because another card called Weather Report was specific designed to counter swords of revealing light and was a flip effect.

[@RoboCobeh]

I'm pretty sure the reason for Jiangshi being optional is because it searches a card, there's a variable as to what it can search depending on your board state, *AND* was designed during the time where an illegal search attempt would lead to your opponent having to verify deck contents.

[@gengarvenom1180]

The swords of revealing light thing is crazy because I explicitly remember setting a flip effect and then activating swords to immediately get the effect. That was one of the best ways to use this card. How do these people think it didnt work like that?

[@drdecidueye9461]

One thing veiler does have over imperm is that you can fire 2 in the same chain, since inperm can't fire from hand until the first one goes to the gy

[@F0r3v3rT0m0rr0w]

i was reading the horus cards since their popular in master duel and i was thinking "why do i always XYZ summon these into the draw 3 robot that skips my battle phase" ... the effects are strong.

[@Ledabot]

The twitter threads, I remember when you started them, but you know what. I never miss watching one. They're consistently funny. Is it you or the editing? Idk, but it's just funny

[@Ae-oxian]

i bet the swords of revealing light had that effect in a old yugioh game because i remembered that as the effect and the games are where i played alot of the game back when swords was relevant

[@Selenkate]

I was today years old when I learned about Swords of Revealing Light, this is a card I have used many times in the last 20 years

[@mgdplayz5727]

I swear Knightmare Unicorn always had 2300 atk until that fact became relevant to me winning a rank-up game last week

[@skarloey1214]

Your not alone.

[@henriquebecker4453]

The problem with Imperm isn't a hard once per turn but that, unlike Veiler, you can't activate two copies of it in the same chain. While you can activate a second copy of your Veiler on your hand in response to a Called by or a Book of Moon, you can't activate a second Imperm in response to a Crossout because in order to activate if from your hand you need to control no face um cards.

[@boosterboo6795]

I got two. The adding effects of Megalith Ophiel and Hagith. I always thought that they would be a hard once per turn like most adding effects but nope only the ritual summon effects.

[@saito853]

The normal summon thing is pretty funny because once I was playing Traptrix against Floo and they flipped the "your opponent can't special summon, but they can normal 3 times this turn" trap, I proceeded to do just that to get 3 different searches off my Mantis and 2 copies of Myrmeleo. Searching 2 traps were enough to win me the game.
