For clarity: This applies to monsters that Trigger and includes an effect to summon ITSELF from the Hand. - If the Card activate in the GY but is a monster that can also summon itself from the hand via the same trigger, it counts toward the summon itself from hand trigger limit. (yes even if it is in the GY)

[@kosmikradmr.silentd6810]

If you destroy Sacred Fire King Garunix to add a card to your hand using Fire King Island. Can you also special summon the same Sacred Fire King Garunix that was destroyed from the graveyard?

[@hmafussel94]

​@@kosmikradmr.silentd6810 No because at the time of destruction the garunix wasnt in the gy. Island activate-> garunix gets destroyed->garunix is sent to gy->you search fk monster

[@Gilgamesh-em6ru]

I had a judge rule in a local that they both could trigger. I was mad. Imagine if fire kings did work like that. They would have so much free advantage for no reason.

[@romygutierrez7873]

I would show em this video. That’s frustrating.

[@billykidman2091]

Lmao deck would be so busted on 3x rangbali 3x garunix with unlimited trigger summons

[@MSTTV]

Well sometimes people work with what they know, and do their best to give a fair ruling. It’s not an easy one. That’s why I said people are new and just don’t know this. But those who do it intentionally against newer players got away with it

[@barongeoffrey75]

Would it be stronger than 1+ danger monster triggering from 1 Card destruction ?

[@Gilgamesh-em6ru]

@@MSTTV the judge played during gorz and befofe so I assumed they would also know they wouldn't trigger if multiple effect activate that could SS from the hand. It was unfortunate but hopefully other people don't let fire king players get away with that anymore.

[@michaeldimisa5707]

Explaining Green Baboon Defender of the Forest to my local players has always been a struggle. Once it started to be explained in terms of gorz tragodea it would make perfect sense😂

[@narfd.8837]

It's also important to understand how the "hand summon restriction" works and how High Avatar Kirin works around it. The restriction is very specific which is why it rarely comes up outside of exactly Fire King: If you have a monster with a trigger effect that includes summoning ITSELF (itself as written as "this card") and the available locations to summon it from INCLUDE the hand, then that effect falls under said restriction. This includes the majority of the Fire King monsters. Now, what makes High Avatar Kirin so important is that you can chain block it's trigger effect as it does not summon itself, it summons another Fire King monster from your hand or GY. Due to it being so flexible you can basically throw 1 effect of another FK monster (for example Sacred Fire King Garunix as chain link 2) to the wolves to chain block Kirin (chain link 1) to effectively summon the same monster through a handtrap like Ghost Belle.

[@xgqv]

this was really helpful! seems like one of those rulings Konami put in so a mechanic couldn’t go too crazy! this is an obscure reference but someone told me something like this with “Jarrac Herra” saying i couldnt special all three from hand.

[@grodon909]

Aw man, didn't realize #3 at all! I gotta say, some of yugiohs arbitrary rules are really frustrating

[@RogueHero]

Thanks for this video, i just picked the deck up myself and was confused how some of these chain links work. The fact that you brought up the old gorz / tragodia rulings help make these rulings make sense. Good video!

[@serachobby]

Also, just to be confusing, Barong/Rangbali have DIFFERENT trigger requirements to summon from hand compared to Ponix/garunix. Barong/Rangbali require a face up fire monster on the field to be destroyed by card effect. Ponix/garunix will trigger if any fire monster is destroyed, regardless of location or method.

[@MSTTV]

Level 4s are like that I think

[@georc16]

Barong and Rangbali are a lot more specific on there summoning requirements, as they also require the monster destroyed on-field to be a Fire King instead of just any Fire monster like the birds.

[@iBloodxHunter]

​@@MSTTVAll of the old cards, mini Garunix and My Little Kirin has it too.

[@soupdawhoop]

would this mean you could trigger both barong/rangbali and garunix/ponix in the same chain if a fire you control is destroyed?

[@serachobby]

@@soupdawhoop no, they're both still trigger effects that summon from hand. It's just a reminder that they have slightly different requirements

[@cheaterxl243]

I like it allot that you actually showed the database entry. You should do that more often and say where they can find this entry.

[@dormagio]

This is one of those Yu-Gi-Oh! rulings that feels entirely arbitrary. Why can you trigger multiple effects off the same event but not if two of them are trying to summon themselves from the hand? Because! Why does this “if you can” effect act like a “when you can” for only this type of effect? Because! I’m not gonna fight a judge about it but this is just frustrating and does not feel congruous with other ways that I understand effects to work.

[@Avermra]

Its definitely very arbitrary that hand summon effect is limited to once per chain

[@szymonsadlo]

why we only can Normal Summon once per turn and Special Summon infinite times? every rule is arbitrary at some point

[@stormextreme3970]

@@szymonsadlo IMO that one isn't arbitrary bc the "infinite times" are based off card effs and conditions like pk silent boots, an extra deck summon, or smth like halq. If you are playing a deck like floo you most likely aren't ss at all, but normal summoning multiple times bc of the effs. In a world where you weren't limited to normal summons it would speed up the game to a level past where it is alr at and would make many monsters completely useless. There is a reason Rush Duels need to maximize their hand every turn and they have less powerful cards.

[@szymonsadlo]

@@stormextreme3970 but why 1 normal summon and not 2 or 3? or why infinite special summons and not 10 or 20? someone at some point arbitrarily said that this is the rule this game will follow. I'm not saying one or another is bad but rules are meant to be arbitrary. otherwise they would be recommendations

[@stormextreme3970]

@@szymonsadlo Tbf there is no rule talking about special summons, but I understand the point. It was more based on the beginning of the game where there was just like 1 card that even special summoned anything so it wasn't needed. It is similar to cards early on not have the hard opt text.

[@witheredunit8362]

I think it would be interesting for you to cover the ruling that allows something like: Garunix trigger to summon from hand CL1, CL2 kirin destroying the garunix to summon itself. The Garunix will still resolve and summon from the GY/banish.

[@SwagMaster824]

It’s the green baboon ruling from back in the day. You can’t summon multiple trigger effect monsters from your hand this was a rule Konami established so people couldn’t summon multiple baboons from their hand at once. Same reason why Salamangreat Gazelle and Parallel eXceed can’t be chained together in the same sequence after you link summon the Balelynx.

[@luvajay22]

Konami put all your rules In the rule book!!! lol the game is complexed enough it’s never fun going to a tournament only to find out you have been doing something wrong or wrong was done to you. thanks Tom for clearing this up.

[@MSTTV]

its just not translated in JP, but literally they have it all.

[@driptcg]

Im so curious as to why they (Konami) would choose to not count "destruction from deck" as "sending a card from deck to GY", even tho "fusion from deck" does count as that. And i dont just mean cuz they seem similar, but also from a "player-friendly" perspective, to me it would make more sense for similar scenarios to be ruled the same way so that players can get a more intuitive sense of how things are ruled, rather than having to remember how each individual (yet similar) interaction is ruled, which is ofc more cumbersome for gameplay imho. Ngl, kinda hope they update this ruling to how fusing from deck works.

[@MSTTV]

Fusion makes sense, but yah I'm a little lost on destruction why it doesn't fall under the same category, perhaps its within the definition of the terminology.

[@dragon-id5uj]

maybe because for most of the games life, destroying deck was something You might do to Opponent; whereas it wasn't til Shaddoll or Gem Knight that fusing from deck was a thing. destroying your own cards was kind of not in the original vision too much. when you keep hiring new architects to add on random rooms and hallways to a house, the blueprint might start to get messy...

[@driptcg]

@@MSTTV yeah ur probably right, probably has to do with how they want "destruction" to be defined

[@iBloodxHunter]

​@@MSTTVJust a side effect of wording,(which they may change in the future like they did with trap mons and snatch effects) like how Towers can be tributed for Kaiju or how mons that are unaffected can be outed with "Forbidden Apocrypha" because it makes "each _player_ sends.."

[@babrad]

@@driptcg Even though the destroyed card will end up being sent to the Graveyard as a result, the effect is not treated as『an effect that includes sending cards from the Deck to the Graveyard.』Ruling on Defender of Nephthys (2nd effect works the same as Garunix) Fusion from deck is by design "sending cards to the Graveyard" just like how it allows face-down monsters on the field to be used as materials.

[@senseirivera6650]

Thank you man, I really needed to know the third ruling you mentioned about the ponix in your hand while the sacred garunix in the grave. Because I wasn’t sure if I was allowed to do that but now I know thank you 😊

[@DeusLightning]

Great video and explanantions. So far from testing and research none of these surprised me. I expected more from the "Fake Chain" blocking but essentially it boils down to you CAN NOT trigger 2 or more "If a Fire monster was destroyed" (Garunix, Ponix, Rangbali) on the same chain. Yugioh has always been like that. I have never had a situation come up where this should happen. The correct line in most cases is to Trigger Garunix first then use Garunix on summon effect on new chain to pop a card and trigger Ponix.

[@stubbstcg9682]

Best way to describe scenario 3 is its like how you can Ash or Belle a Gamma since the effect stipulates Deck or Grave for the summon of Driver, but with the hand summon ruling for Ponix and Garunix.

[@TrueBlueMcgoo]

I love that we have to explain the rulings of a card that was released in 2007/8 to explain why Garunix and Ponix don't work

[@CrenAlder3]

Really enjoy videos like this that make it easier to keep up with the game's ever-growing complexities.

[@cyber5787]

Thanks a lot for making this video. I know it should be ruled that way or else everything will go out of hand but I feel these ruling are pretty dumb and is a pinacle of "Konami said so" that screwed with a lot of players. Not only you need to educate yourself but you need to pray that the judge is educated as well or else you get owned by a fire king player.

[@OmegaChase1002]

This shit should reeeeeally be in the rulebook. They should also reeeeeally include the rulebook with structure decks.

[@xBrayJay]

Can you refresh my memory on if it’s legal to chain ghost Belle to Garunix effect in hand to Special? I think you talked about something similar with drytrons summoning from hand but idk if it’s the exact same scenario and also I can’t remember the ruling for that one anymore either :p

[@MSTTV]

If Garunix is attempting to special in the hand then no. The place where it activates matter . If it attempts from GY then Belle can negate. It’s like drytrons

[@CrispyBLT-]

I didn’t know the trigger effects In hand cannot be stacked. That’s actually very useful knowledge. Thanks MST!

[@reaperdeathgod1]

He's there. He's right there. The first guy listed. The green baboon.

[@CardFox37]

Similar to how Labrynth Archfiend and Lord of the Heavenly prison would both have an opportunity to summon after a trap resolves, but you can only summon one of them at a time/per trigger.

[@marnonymous6051]

I love how each of these rulings applies to salamangreats as well.

[@PSNoverXBOX]

Thanks for the vid!! Definitely did a lot of illegal plays great to know that I can’t do these plays!!!

[@xatuyou8045]

It was Green Baboon that was the origin of that ruling.

[@chrisszocker866]

The other best example for the hand trigger ruling are Gazelle + Exceed.

[@NorisvastradaVastrael]

Is the hand trigger ruling just a rule that exists in and of itself? I always thought that Gorz and Trag thing was because they’re both “When” effects so the last thing that happened wasn’t you taking damage it was you activating the gorz effect.

[@spacecoyote6101]

It’s a rule that exists by itself. Multiple triggers that can miss timing are allowed to activate in the same chain, missing the timing only applies if the last action before the current chain is not the trigger condition (i.e. if I use dark hole to destroy 2 or more yang zing monsters, both are able to trigger). I can see how this is somewhat confusing though since when (quick effects) exist like ash blossom that must respond directly to the card that meets its activation requirement.

[@NorisvastradaVastrael]

Thanks for the response Space Coyote!

[@RAPXILLA]

I think number two is wrong because the condition for the two cards is an IF condition whereas Gorz is a when. Obviously it wouldn’t be in the same chain link but it would still count would it not? From what I remember if conditions can occur regardless of the the timing where as when has to trigger right after the trigger.

[@TuckNeal]

People who fall into that barong “misplay” didn’t play fire kings years ago lol

[@vampireguy92ryan81]

So essentially if a monster would be summoned from the hand after being destroyed u can only activate and summon 1?

[@ManuelRiccobono]

Ok so if a card has an effect that let it summon from either hand or gy, it is still counted as an effect that summons from hand, regardless?

[@186Soup]

Im rusty AF. Im a licensed electrician working 60+ hour work weeks while full time adulting so i dont have alot of time for yugioh.

[@kindledgatorbro3393]

Didn't know about these effects or these chains. I play fire kings and assumed that the hand effects of summoning could only be used on your own turn because they are not quick effects.

[@vinnypoohanimations]

5:42 ooooh that's why I couldn't special summon both my rescue ace from hand when I summon another one on the field 🧑‍🚒🧑‍🚒

[@jbone_malone]

1:50 Barong's effect doesn't trigger unless destroyed by card effect

[@MSTTV]

Correct! That’s why people are making a huge misplay!

[@asgcm07]

I also read that you can't Ghost Belle Sacred Garunix if you're activating from hand but you can Ghost Belle if you're activating Sacred Garunix from GY according to a Drytron Alpha Thuban ruling, is this correct?

[@tsvetomirsheev3882]

Yes, there are other comments in here that confirm it as well

[@bambillisreve1147]

Some people say that you can use the spell Card (dont know the Name) that gets you to your field spell to destroy it If the field spell is destroyed. But i says you can destroy one fire Monster instead or so.

[@cadenburton7612]

So I'm getting back into the and am playing Fire-Brigade. In a scenario where I'm using Fire king Island to pop Tri-B Kitt and search garunix. In what order or what status of chain do garunix and Kitt trigger?

The third one I didn't know that I knew the rest thanks for the upload!

[@checced8034]

Hey Tom what happend with the effect off Kirin when i have it in my Hand? its same like Garunix and Ponix As an example 3 or ?

[@Rascalhehe]

What about salmagreat raging phoenix and either 2 fire king cause that’s only summon from grave, so it can summon of the same destruction along side Phonix

[@Siegfrido]

I suck at chain blocking... So even this is educative... Thanks man

[@FlyBoyKhi]

So this hand summon restriction only applies to when monsters are being attacked? Am I free to chain block in the MP if my opponent activates something like Dark Hole?

[@towu8479]

Applies any time.

[@FlyBoyKhi]

@@towu8479 thx

[@bdf1696]

So question about the second ruling: Does it work similarly if it were Kirin and Garunix?

[@ruboboyo4579]

I assume you mean high kirin, kirin is a gy trigger effect to summon from the hand or gy and it doesn’t summon itself. The ruling ONLY applies to trigger effects that activate in hand and also special summons that activated monster from hand, it does not apply to second party effects that help to special summon a monster from the hand.

[@treyjames1527]

If garunix summons from the grave or hand and then destroys a monster from hand or deck, can ponix then special summon from hand? Or would that not be a new chain? Please and thanks!

[@danilempke4245]

so, crarify this for me please. I have arvata on the field and garunix plus barong in the GY. Arvata gets destroyed, then I go garunix eff to revive itself, chain arvata to s. summon the barong in grave. barong hits the field first and then garunix, activating his effect. Is that legal?

[@konospiroda370]

if opponent actives salamangreat rage and destroy fire king island and sanctuary in the same time or more cards including a fire monster on the field can i protect island by destroying 1 fire monster on the field or my hand? what are the rulling for those type of situation?

[@cosmicotv2463]

Ohh thank you for showing these rulings cuz I play fire king and for a while I thought I can do those plays. I guess I owe my locals player an apology

[@sumandark8600]

With regard to the new Diabellze of the Original Sin: could you still activate cards from your hand like non-monster hand traps? If not, what about a card that sends itself the GY as a cost (no idea if any cards do that though), would that bypass Diabellze by activating in the GY? For context: I'm just getting back into Yu-Gi-Oh after several years away from the game thanks to since Christmas presents. I've always been a casual player but why to try playing more competitively now so I'm not great when it comes to rulings.

[@MSTTV]

I’ll look into it when we get to legacy of destruction

[@MSTTV]

No. Like Imperm , it doesn’t work and evenly won’t work. Must be set first. Which also locks them in for the turn

[@zagoraichu]

Is the second scenario kind of the same situation as Floowandereeze and Simorgh ? Because I've heard people saying that the simorgh chain blocks when you normal, but others told me it does not...

[@jacesust]

what if I had 3X sacred garunix in my graveyard then I destroy my Ponix using fk island will it trigger my 3X garunix on my gy to special summon it

[@DAIMEX94]

Let's be honest - 1st - rules are rules and must be followed. This is the game. 2nd With that being said, a lot of the rulings doesn't make sense/logic. When you read it should happen like that, but because of fairy tail mechanic , you house gets blown by a tornado....

[@ctusiard9755]

I didn't know about 3. That's crazy lol. Although it sounds like something you should ask your local judge about.

[@matthewgrant197]

tom can i get a clarrifcation on the ruling , can they if they destroy kirin , do chl1 kirin chl2 garnuix , as kirin can summon from hand? does this become therefore a hand trigger and this chain is also illegal? just to explain situation , fire king island destroys kirin , on new chain they wish to do chl1 kirin in gy to summon , chl2 garunix effect to summon from hand

[@MSTTV]

Kirin is fine, it doesn’t summon itself from the hand, key point, this applies to monsters summon itself from the hand

[@nigeli6404]

If kirin gets destroyed while garunix is on gy can I go cl 1 kirin cl 2 garunix?

Fortunately I played Fire Kings back in the day, so I knew 2/3 The third one, I just assumed since it was in grave it worked differently. But now I know, thanks!

[@jacoba5235]

I’m confused about #3. So there isn’t a TCG ruling about it? Only an OCG ruling?

[@josephtodd9877]

Can garunix summon effect from hand be ghost belle En francais ( esque je peut ghost belle l'effet d'invocation de garunix depuis la main ?)

[@redoctober67]

So with example 2, WHY is it that way? What was the actual reason of the ruling itself? Not just “because it was ruled that way,” but “WHY was it ruled that way?” Appreciate the help here Side note: this is one of Yugioh’s biggest problems. We have to rely on a database translation (we technically can’t use) and old rulings that surmount to “because we said so” and Konami emails (for god’s sake) to explain actual game mechanics for the game. Why on Earth have we not gotten a database or updated mechanics?

[@handswipe]

I would still ask head judge at an event for #3 to see how they rule it. Head judge at LA regionals ruled it as both effects being triggerable, at least when asked about it before r1. Also, can sanctuary protect island even if hfd was used? Not finding a consistent answer to this one.

[@MSTTV]

to my knowledge, its can substitute the destruction, because, 1. the card itself isn't doing the substitution so it doesn't matter if it is marked for destruction. 2. The protection is a continuous-like effect, before the destruction of all the cards via HFD, you can still apply the effect, once applied another fire monster would be destroyed instead. Its about the resolution timing.

[@Manifest_Destiny568]

Sanctuary is not yet destroyed at the moment you apply the protection effect. Why it works and not something like hugin vs raigeki is because cards that are marked to be destroyed can not be used for substitution effects of cards like hugin and muckraker.

[@Taiwa1010]

I have a question, can you go chain link one barong standby phase effect then chain 2 ponix standby effect? I thought you could chain block like that but now not so sure after playing on an online automated simulator. In the simulator it would go barongs effect, then opponent could respond, then ponix effect after barong resolves.

[@towu8479]

No. Phase triggers are only activable in open game state. So, they have to be cl1 like branded fusions and dogmatika end phase effects, lightsworn end phase milling, Baronne standby effect, etc...

[@garrukablaze]

yeah what towu said, and because of that they start their own chains. So your opponent could chain cards to each of them separately and stop both.

[@familiacaquimarrento6751]

garunix in the grave can catch by belle?

[@jbone_malone]

THANK YOU, since when have we been able to activate 2 effects at the exact same time?! Unless otherwise stated

[@MSTTV]

[@yamimonkey9632]

most judges dont rule like this bc its just too old and doesnt cause loops or stuff that breaks the game

[@mateofortin-lubin8010]

I get that you can't summon ponix and sacred garunix on the same chain but is summoning ponix after the effect of sacred garunix legal ? so fire king island > sacred garunix summon / effect destroying a fire monster > ponix summon

[@MSTTV]

If you used FK Island to add Garunix> Then summon Garunix and then in a new chain use garunix to destroy a fire from deck say a Kirin. then yes you can trigger the ponix in hand in the next chain.

[@Manifest_Destiny568]

Legal because it is occurring in a new chain and the trigger condition was met.

[@gubigubigubigubi]

5:30 This is why yu gi oh as a card game sucks assssssss The biggest reason imo So many ancient arbitrary ruilings that make cards not do what they say they do.

[@towu8479]

it works, it's just rare to see cards with gy/hand triggers like garunix or dark hole dragon + hand trigger in the same deck.

[@bleauh]

You says "well it's simple" and then state a restriction that is written neither in the rulebook nor on any card - once you know the rule its simple though. .... Unless it isn't! I thought it only applied to cards that would summon themselves from the hand, but using an OCG database that we're not supposed to use (so this rule is technically unconfirmed? Hard to say due to no TCG database for some ungodly reason) you're saying that Garunix can't trigger in GY either. Because Konami said so rulings are never ever simple imo. They should do better in those cases (either with card text, rulebook clarifications or a database)

[@xisvicious]

#3 At las vegas regional I called ruling against that the judges ruled that they could both trigger so is this gonna be one these situations it's gonna be up to head judge only?

[@MSTTV]

The head judges should be consistent and I have heard a few rc2 level say otherwise until they read through source material. So it’s more of a case of missing information and had to rule on the spot

[@xisvicious]

Number#3 makes no logical sense at all. Sacred Garunix and Ponix are in different locations. Regardless of the "Hand or GY" clause of Garunix, those cards are logically in two different and separate locations. Am I misunderstanding something? This ruling is outrageous.

It would also be nice if you can, make a video over the battle phase like how Fire King's triggers work during damage step. That would be immensely helpful for people who are still unaware on how triggers work during damage step.

Barong and Ponix do start a chain in the Standby phase. Look at the difference in wording between Mirrorjade/DPE vs Barong/Ponix. You are correct that they would both activate on separate chains though.

It's the same as the ghoti tuners returning the standby phase after being banished, or all the effects from grave in branded during the end phase

@@serachobbythis is really how it works? I thought YGO omega was bugged tbh.

Was trying to explain this to the judge at my locals too because he thought phase triggers are chain blockable. I gave example of branded stuff, Cartesia, albuion, etc. They don't chain block. I found the rule book explanation. Trigger effects are spell speed 1. Only time they can be spell speed 2 is if they are triggering simultaneously.

@@serachobby My bad, I didn't mean don't start a chain. I did mean that they start a chain but in separate chains. Thanks for the correction!
