YuGiOh Pro-Play Tour: Columbus Round 5 - Guru Control v Mekk-Knight

[@kamhutch2443]

For those who dont know. After using crackdown on an opp monster & using fiendess or guru to flip down that monster it is no longer attached to crackdown and u can then attack or act effects with that monster u took

[@nabeelhussain1372]

In that scenario if crackdown is destroyed will the monster return to opp?

[@kamhutch2443]

@@nabeelhussain1372 no that's why it's so good in subterror. After flipping it facedown it's no longer connected to crackdowns restrictions

[@popgoestheweasel1776]

Similar to how Call Of the Haunted has that same interaction.

[@ultimetacooler]

Anyone know why he didn’t save the Guru for Purple in G1 instead he flipped the kaiju? Booking any Mekk Knight seems infinitely better than what he did.

[@Yugiohdeckmaster41]

ok i get the concept that the normal mekk-knight can go into link spider but is that the only reason its ran i mean i know you can search it or memories it but then what wouldnt say running more hand traps say effect veiler be better (you could always normal summon if needed and linkuriboh or almiraj it )

[@shannonlongbaxter7634]

Searchable out to the can be only 1

[@Yugiohdeckmaster41]

all things said this is to shannon thank you for making such a awesome deck i took a few idea from you and made a mekk-knight traptrix deck works very similar except runs 3 of the trap hole searcher and about 8 normal traps but plays all the good mekk-knight cards memories secret succession and of course all the monsters (only thing i dont run i wish i could is phantasmay but too costly)

You ain't alone brother. I feel like that is too irresponsible a buy. lol

[@scrapdragon95]

Jonathan can't summon Umastryx while he has oppen monsters, eben if he is flipping down his Guru

[@frost177st]

He used subterror fiendess effect to special summon a Sumter from graveyard or hand that's how behemoth was summoned

[@iAmGross]

The mekk knight player activated world legacy secrets the turn he set it. Am I missing something or did not a single person notice it?

[@Lyrog]

He played it in opponent's draw phase, you can see him drawing a card right before he activates it.

[@iAmGross]

Lyrog Yeah barely noticed, appreciate the response lol

[@ronalddaughton8112]

Why did he flip down fiendess and then use Hidden City to flip it up? She doesnt have a flip effect, guru could've searched and gotten boosted up with Final Battle.

[@xaarth88]

He used final battle to set it to dodge the dinomischus. Then used city to flip it so he could use it's on field effect which was the whole reason he summoned it in the first place

[@ronalddaughton8112]

@@xaarth88 I must've missed that bit where he dodged dinomiscus. It seemed so roundabout lol

[@TheGamestars]

@@xaarth88 you don't dodge dinomischus by flipping the target facedown tho, as it says banish "it" and not banish "that target".

[@superzenmodeman]

pretty sure in game 1 when blue sky got crackdowned, shannon would get 1 search. There is one opponent's card in the same column as blue sky: itself Ruling: Q: When Jack Knight of the Azure Sky is Normal Summoned or Special Summoned from my hand and I activate its effect, what happens if my opponent chains Enemy Controller and takes control of my Jack Knight of the Azure Sky? Answer: A: When resolving the effect of Jack Knight of the Azure Sky that was Normal or Special Summoned, if your opponent has gained control of it with the effect of Enemy Controller, you will add “Jack Knight” monsters from your Deck to your hand based on the number of cards in the column that your opponent placed Jack Knight of the Azure Sky in. For example, if your opponent chooses to place Jack Knight of the Azure Sky in the Main Monster Zone in the same column as the activated Enemy Controller, the number of cards on your opponent’s field in that column will be 2 (Enemy Controller and Jack Knight of the Azure Sky itself), so you add 2 “Jack Knight” monsters with different names from your Deck to your hand.

[@lunchboxx5]

Very good to know

[@omfgusername002]

@@walkingcorpse1224 Wrong. Activate by targeting 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; take control of that monster. While you control that monster, it cannot attack or activate effects. When that monster leaves the field, destroy this card. The effect is already activated, Crackdown doesn't work like skill drain, it prevents you from USING the effect, if you chain CD to a monster who's already activated the effect goes through. In regards to the Blue sky, i'm undecided as it checks for the amount of cards in your opponents column, that checks on resolution, at resolution the blue sky is in a column with no cards in the opponents column as the blue sky is under the control of his opponent? it's very interesting haha

[@brianmabon4703]

James Woodward it’s the second part, crackdown didn’t negate it just moved it to a column with no cards on his side so that it didn’t resolve. Same way if someone summons blue sky, I chain mst my own backrow in the same column, it will search one less card.

[@superzenmodeman]

@@omfgusername002 How Blue sky works is you were the one who activated it, so the "opponent" still refers to your opponent even if your opponent is the one to control blue sky on resolution. And on resolution, there is a card your opponent controls that is in the same column as Blue Sky, which is also itself, so you get at least 1 search. The official enemy controller ruling confirms this.

[@omfgusername002]

@@brianmabon4703 Crackdown moved it to a column where he still controls 1 card, which is blue sky.

[@walkingcorpse1224]

I didn't know you could bring out two Purples while There Can Be Only One was up, and then just send one to the graveyard. I thought cus There Can Be Only One was up, it just wouldn't allow you to bring out the other purple at all.

Johnathan did an illegal play in G1 in front of the judge and got away with it, when Shannon summoned TER Johnathan proceeded to activate Final Battle to flip Umastryx and banish the TER, when TER clearly states that the battle positions of monsters can't be changed, huge illegal play and got away with it, otherwise Shannon could've possibly taken that G1
