@@lucasflaming5330 You got it all wrong. Coder already clarifies this later in the video. The issue is that the question was pertaining to if the opponent gets to redeclare an attack if you sent the monster they are targeting as cost for droplet during the damage step, not about lost world and ding. The editor had the wrong comment for the second question coder was answering, and the comment shows up again later in the video when coder is actually answers the question pertaining to lost world and ding.

[@britishjack9931]

Clear Vice Dragon has a effect that when it attacks its ATK is becomes double the opponents ATK during the damage step I know if you use a Hon est like effect it will recalulate the ATK The Wicked Avatar has a effect that its ATK is 100+ the highest ATK on the field if CVD attacked TWD both would gain ATK in the damage step so who wins or is it a infinite loop

[@raidraptor-satellitecannon3008]

Im not really sure but I think it might resolve as follows: CVD atk would be 0 while TWA would be 0+100. CVD declares an attack on TWA, making its atk go to 200, chains Honest to give CVD +100 atk making it 300 atk. After the chain ends, TWA will recalculate its atk, making it 400. I don't think CVD can activate its effect again since (as far as I know) effects that activate during the damage step can only be activated once in that damage step. TLDR: CVD ends with 300 atk and loses to a TWA with 400 atk.

You have dupe frog on field and a set call of the haunted. Opponent declares an attack on the dupe frog, you chain call of the haunted and special summon another monster. What happens? And also if you control one monster and special summon a dupe frog on declaration of an opponents attack are they forced to attack dupe frog.

[@Psynapseful]

The attacker gets to do a replay whenever the number of monsters changes during battle step. The chain started by Call of the Haunted resolves, then they can redeclare the attack or cancel the attack. If they choose to attack, they will only be able Dupe Frog. If no other effects are triggered by the attack on Dupe Frog, you should be able to get the search.

[@Lorens4444]

As far as I'm aware Replay Rule checks if the ammount of legal targets for the attack changed before the Damage Step. If you'll activate Call of the Haunted on the attack declaration and SS a monster other then Dupe Frog the ammount of legal attack targets didn't change and the opponent would still attack Dupe Frog. However, if your Call of the Haunted SS another Dupe Frog the ammount of legal attack targets change and your opponent wouldn't be able to continue the attack. Unless his monster has the effect to attack directly, in which case a Replay occurs, allowing the opponent to change it's attack to the direct attack.

[@c0_y93]

For the Talent Vs. Unicorn problem, there's actually exception on who gets to activate effect If the effect that forms chain that will take control of monster that satisfy the trigger effect before it can be activate,: The effect that listed "if this card is summoned.....", then the player who satisfy the condition can activate it. The effect that listed "if your opponent ....", then it will check its condition from the perspective of the player who gain the control, neither player can activate its effect if it didn't satisfy it. The the effect doesn't specific list "If this card..." or "if you opponent....", then the player who gain control of it can activate effect. So in the case of Talent Vs. Unicorn, because Unicorn says "If this card is link summoned". The player that link summoned Unicorn can activate its effect . At least this is how OCG rule it

[@Uchiha_Sasuke209]

no it isnt as the Cheng Ying vs Natasha ruling is also underlined in the unicorn section. OCG rules it the same as its db suggests. I dunno wether it was ruled before mid september like this but Coders way is how they will rule it now.

[@theofficialk.a.m...p4760]

If you attack there are phases. 1.Enter battle phase(last oppurtunity to activate cards before attack) 2.Attack declare(youve declared a target to attack whether a monster or a in this case directly) And 3.Damage step Cards that could possibly change the outcome of the damage taken or gained can be activated within both phases. If you try to negate a monater effect in damage step it will still resolve with a direct attack. If you negate a monster effect in the atrack declaring it will not attack directly. This can be proben in tested on duel links easily with masked hero anki and forbidden chalice. He attacks directly for his entire attack inatead of half even with a monater on board as long as its damage step.

Hey Coder: If my opponent graydle cobra steals my Thunder Dragon Colossus, then I MST the graydle, does it return to my field in time for me to banish a thunder from grave to protect, or is it still in my opponent's possession when it would be destroyed by graydle cobra? Thanks! Love this series!

[@TruVibezz]

Very professional looking set up. Nice.

[@manynukes11]

On my opponent's turn they have an Infinite Impermanence set while I have Ultimaya Tzolkin and Cystron Halqifibrax. They special summon a monster which allows me to trigger Lost Wind in my GY and set it. That triggers my Tzolkin but they chain Imperm in response and I chain Halq to Synchro Summon which means Tzolkin cannot be targeted. Are they allowed to negate my Tzolkin?

[@MRICARD0M]

Tzolkin is negated because Impermanence target when is activated, so when resolve the chains your tzolkin is already targeted when the synchro summon happens. In replace of Halqui, if you activated something else that sends your tzolkin to another place like GY, banished or to your hand (extra deck), in that case the tzolkin resolves without being negated, the monster must be in the field when resolving the chains to be negated by Imperm properly.

[@7gdnz]

If you chained to lost wind with Halq, then they’d have no way to negate ultimaya because there’s a synchro on the field before lost is set

[@Balila_balbal_loki]

Tzolkin gains targetting protection not protection against negation so imperm would still resolve and he won't summon a synchro from extradeck. The problem here is chain order, for imperm to activate you have a pre-requisite to be met which is a viable monster to be targeted on the field this targetting happens during the chain activation and chaining to previous effects and not chain resolution. it is like paying cost by discarding you have to discard for cost of twin twisters and you have to target a monster for imperm just because tolzkin can no longer be targetted doesn't mean you haven't already targetted him successfully when you activated imperm since that targetting already occured then imperm is free to resolve successfully.

[@Dw7freak]

Targetting is part of activating the card, so unless you make Tzolkin immune to card/trap effects, the Imperm will resolve fully, negating Tzolkin.

[@wyomingptt]

Pretty sure Tzolkin was already targeted at Imperm's activation. It's similar to how if a player declares an attack and you chain Threatening Roar, the attack still continues.

[@rrakea]

I normal summon Formud skipper, my opponent flips gozen. I then activate Skipper. Am i allowed to do this and can i reveal any monster or only Lights? Also does this change under Tcbo or Rivalry?

[@henriquebecker4453]

You are allowed to activate Formud's effect, and you will still be able to summon only light for gozen and cyberse for rivalry respectively. Formud's effect don't change it's type or attribute on the field, it only treat them as the same as revealed monster's type and attribute when it is used as link material. Also, you cold still use it to summon monster that require specific types under tcobo, such as the guardragons, because it don't share the same type although for it's effect it met the proper summon requirements.

[@MrMark28]

Damn!!! Dude nice background!!!! So aesthetically pleasing!

[@thegreatbambino3358]

To be clear with Chalice, though, this doesn't stop you from activiating Chalice on your own monsters. What you could do with Chalice is activate it during the damage step which allows it to negate the effects of your monster and since it's in the damage step, your attack target has already gone through and you get to do the direct attack. Saw something with catgirl magician that did this little trick.

Player A activates a face-down Shadoll Schism and declares that they will use the effect in the same chain link. Player B responds with Ghost Bell and Haunted Mansion to negate the activation. Does the Schism stay on the field? Normally, when negating the activation of an effect of a card that's already face-up, the card stays. Does the effect activating in the same chain link as activating the Schism itself change that interaction at all?

you negated the action of the effect but as they used the effect on the initial activation of the card you also negated the card basically. So schism will be sent to grave

Question on a ruling. P1: activates knightmare Phoenix targeting P2's set S/T P2: CL2 activates said set S/T, which is infinite impermanence and targets knightmare Phoenix P1: CL3 solemn judgment How does it resolve and does knightmare Phoenix get the draw? I'm not familiar with the "Then" conjunction.

[@firatd.monkey7330]

P1 pays half his LP and negates the activation of Imperm and destroys it. Imperm gets negated and destroyed due Judgment and Phoenix resolves without effect. You also don't get the draw even if Phoenix was co-linked 'cause the Imperm was already destroyed before Phoenix could.

[@thonk5262]

How does ZW-Pegasus twin saber and ZW-Eagle claws negate works and can the former negate counter traps?

[@coreylipford363]

The aforementioned ZW monsters are not actually activated effects when they attempt to negate something. Pegasus can simply apply it’s effect to negate a monster effect that activated on your opponents field which doesn’t start a chain. The same rule applies to eagle claw when it comes to negating a trap card or effect. It doesn’t start a chain. It simply applies it’s effect to negate a trap without actually activating. Which also means that it can negate cards like solemn judgment

[@esrohm6460]

so i recently realize that small world does not say "banish the cards and if you do add a monster to hand" and it also checks what it can search from the revealed cards and not the banished cards. so the question is what the heck happens if artifact lancea is chained too small world.

[@qedsoku849]

You will reveal a monster in hand and deck, fail to banish the card from your hand, then because small world says “then” and the part before was not applied, you will not add a card to hand.

[@Balila_balbal_loki]

The target's stats no longer meet targeting viability because you can only target a light machine that was just summoned from a previous chain resolution since you no longer control a light machine you cannot resolve hanger. Summon monster -> Ch1 hanger -> ch2 trap. Resolution monsters become fiend hangar fizzles. There is an ocg ruling mentioned for the cynet trap that activates field spels lair of darkness and hangar saying hangar would fizzle. I am not sure if this applies in the tcg or not.

Thank you for your help.

[@bradleyleach1422]

Lone fire tributes for cost so that would go through, not sure regarding loptr. As long as there is an available zone during effect resolution, then the effect can be activated as if there were an available zone to begin with, paying cost comes simultaneously to effect activation

[@tonberryking42]

Both listed cards tribute as cost; they can always activate if the field is full. If you have Lair of Darkness but a full field, you cannot tribute your opponent's monster, since you would have nowhere to summon another monster. Related: As a rule of thumb, if the removal of a card is part of the effect that summons or places another card on the field, provided that it doesn't happen before the removal you can still activate it. Artifact Ignition with 5 cards (including itself) is in your S/T is an example. And Interrupted Kaiju Slumber is too (note that IKS is also extra, since it does not consider the effects of the Kaiju when determining whether or not you can activate it, so this applies both to full field and fields containing Kaiju; but it does consider Summoning Conditions, such as with Super Anti-Kaiju War Machine Mecha-Dogoran.)

A player uses Exchange to take a DARK Fiend type monster from the opponent, they then Summon that monster with the effect of Relay Soul and use Shien's Spy to pass that monster to the opponent. That player then attacks said DARK Fiend monster with Exodia, the Legendary Defender and destroys it. Does the player win the Duel because of Exodia's effect or do they lose it because of Relay Soul, or do we have some awkward instance of forcing a draw?

[@analoghabits9217]

Since etld is ruled to not apply it's victory condition if it does not survive the battle, i postulate that, in the 'end of damage step' step, not just activated effects but all references to that substep happen after destroyed monsters are sent on to their destination at the start of that substep. It seems to me that since relay soul's victory condition is tied to the monster's removal & has no tie to the damage step, relay soul would give victory to the opponent of the relay soul activator, at a timing ruled too early for etld to apply. Even though the exchanged/relayed/spied/destrpyed monster returns to it's owner's possession on removal, relay soul only gives victory to the opponent of its activator.

(Since it would add another monster as a legal attack target, but you also cannot attack the new monster, since Avramax is on the field.)

[@Dw7freak]

If Avarmax is still the only legal target, nothing. If the new monster is a legal target, then the attack can be replayed. If neither monster is a legal target, like if 2 Marauding Captains are on the field, then the attack is cancelled.

Hey Coder, If player A has an attack position Hamon Lord Of Striking Thunder and a face-up Cerulean Skyfire, and player B activates Super Polymerization or Solemn Strike, why is Player A able to respond with Cerulean Skyfire despite Solemn Strike being a spell speed 3, and Super Polymerization stating that the opponent cannot respond?

Hello sir Streamer, I control Plunder patroll white beard, during my opponents turn, my redbeard is targeted for destruction by opponent's N'tsss. If I chain Whitebeard's effect, would it still be destroyed and can you explain in which cases it would survive in the S/T zone after resolution ? Thanks

youre switching between names but no, whitebeard going to the S/T zone would make it a different card than the one that Ntss targeted and would not be destroyed

[@coreylipford363]

A monster that moves to the spell and trap zone is no longer treated as the same card. So if it was target for destruction, because it is no longer the same card, it will not be destroyed. A plunder monster target for n’tss effect and then moves itself to the spell and trap zone will survive and will remain in the spell and trap zone

[@darylmcmexican539]

Regarding the ruling in the previous video, where you won't miss timing from negated activation of the next chain; can you miss timing if the effect, not the activation, is negated instead?

[@dannylongfellow]

The reason why Dupe Frog did not miss timing in the previous video with Majestic Star Dragon is because when a card's activation is negated, it is treated as never having been activated in the chain. Conversely, when a card's effect is negated, such as with Apollousa, when it gets to the card's specific chain link, it resolves without effect, but is still treated as having been activated in chain. If you have an effect negation that also destroys, such as Starry Knight Blast, then it will cause monsters like Dupe Frog to miss their timing.

I have a kinda dumb question about Metaphys Decoy Dragon. My opponent attacks and I activate Decoy's Pendulum effect, targeting Daedalus. Can I use Daedalus' effect? I don't think so because Daedalus wasn't summoned by a monster effect but by a Pendulum effect, but some people disagree and I want to be 100% sure.

[@ConductorElcrest]

I have a feeling it wouldn't activate as 1. Being it was placed in the scale it's being treated as a spell card iirc, and 2, Daedalus states "by the effect of a ."Metaphys" monster". Therefore I would say no, it wouldn't activate.

[@gleirb3670]

1. What happens to a tribute summoned Angel 07 if Skill Drain is activated? Some say it is a lingering effect and therefore cannot be negated while others say any negation makes it lose its effect as if it was no longer trbute summoned. 2. If a floodgate that prohibit special summons is on the field, can you still activate kaiju to tribute?

[@Dw7freak]

1: The effect will activate in the GY, so it doesn't matter since Skill Drain only affects the field. The granted effect will be negated while Skill Drain is live, though. 2: No. Since the tribute is part of the special summon process, you can't legally do it.

Can you explain "Unconfirmed effects" and the interaction that they have with cards like effect veiler? E.g Turn player normal summon "Ritual beast tamer elder" on the summon the opponent activates "infinite impermanence". How does this play out?

[@babrad]

These effects start applying as soon as the monster hits the field. Since they don't need to continuously apply said effect (like Jinzo), you cant negate them with Veiler because they already happened the moment that their SUMMON was SUCCESSFUL. That's why handtraps were useless versus Outer Entity Azathot. But if Skill Drain is faceup on the field, these effects wont apply successfully because immediately after hitting the field, they are already negated by a continuous effect.

[@roosh410]

In the TTT and IP example, would it play out the way it was described in the example? The wording on IP makes things like solemn strike legal to activate against it but would the TTT be allowed to select the Unicorn if IP was chained to it or would IP summon the Unicorn after the chain resolved?

Yeah. You you will link summon after ip resolves, and then you move on to the next chain link , so TTT would still be able to take unicorn.

Purely out of curiosity since Heavy Storm is banned, but could you explain why Starlight Road behaves differently in those two scenarios? Scenario A: I summon Black Rose Dragon and activate its effect to destroy all cards on the field, including itself. I have two cards on the field that would be destroyed by the effect (BRD and Starlight Road) so I am allowed to chain SR and bring out a Stardust Dragon. Scenario B: I activate Heavy Storm. I also have two cards that would be destroyed by the effect (Heavy and SR), as both are spells/traps, yet I am not allowed to chain SR. Heavy is on the field, you can MST it if you want. As far as I know, spell/traps remain on the field until they have fully resolved (which is why you get to keep a card against Evenly Matched), at which point Heavy Storm would've already destroyed the back row - including itself. So why can't you chain SR to Heavy but can with BRD, when both basically do the same thing (destroy SR and themselves) ?

[@ConductorElcrest]

Heavy isn't technically "destroyed" by its own effect because in the case of Black Rose you already have two spell/traps. Therefore two cards will be destroyed and Starlight Road can negate. With heavy storm it cannot destroy itself. It can only destroy the set starlight road. For example you couldn't use MST and target itself. Therefore heavystorm wouldn't destroy itself.

[@firatd.monkey7330]

Who told you that you aren't allowed? lol In your scenario Heavy Storm would destroy 2 cards you control (SR and HS) what meets the activation condition of SR. In this case you are legally allowed to chain SR as CL2 on your opponent's HS or even Lightning Storm. It will negate the effect (if nothing else happened in this chain link) and destroy the card and then you can summon a SD.

Ruling Question, involving an actual scenario that happened to me in a 2v2 duel in a casual setting: It is currently Player A's turn. Player B has Obelisk the Tormentor on their side of the field, and no other monsters. Player A has a Creature Swap in hand and there is one monster on Player A's field. If Player A activates Creature Swap, will Player B be forced to give control of Obelisk the Tormentor to Player A?

[@ConductorElcrest]

You logically shouldn't be able to activate creature swap based on it's wording. "Each player chooses 1 monster they control and switches control of those monsters with each other." Therefore it is an illegal activation.

[@zacharypayne2903]

Any chance you can do some rulings for the new cyber strike structure deck? Like when exactly does cyberdark chimera’s effect to use material from the graveyard for fusion materials work/does it work if the card leaves the field. Also can you explain how attack declarations work with cyberdark end dragon, if it has no equip cards can it still attack once per turn? If so then when it has 1 equip card does it get a normal attack plus an additional attack for the equip card? Is the additional normal summon of cyberdark realm applied anytime during the turn, or does it have to be immediately after the first effect to search the cyberdark monster has resolved? As well as the interaction with cyber eternal not being able to special summon cards pitched from the effect of cyberdark horizon since the card hasn’t been properly summoned.

[@topsycho4451]

Chimera applies a lingering effect for your turn. You can choose when to apply it while Fusion Summoning, and Chimera does not have to stay on field. That effect of Cyberdark End is like Ultimate Conductor Tyranno. You can choose to apply that effect instead of your "normal" attacks, so yes, Cyberdark End Dragon can attack (once) while it is not equipped. If it later becomes equipped, it does not gain additional attacks. Cyberdark Realm finishes resolving by performing a Normal Summon. If you activate that effect, you must Normal Summon when it resolves. Monster Cards with summoning conditions (Synchro, Fusion, something like Cyber Eltanin, etc) can never be summoned from a location that they didn't start in, unless they were properly summoned first. (This is not including other limitations on their summons). Cyber Eternal cannot summon a Cyberdark or Chimeratech Fusion monster that was sent directly from the Extra Deck to the GY. The "Ignoring Summoning Conditions" part just means it can ignore the part of Cyberdark Dragon saying that it can only be summoned via Fusion Summon.

@@topsycho4451 with cyber dark realm there is a full stop after the search effect, which means that it is its own separate effect.
