Sky Striker Vs Kashtira High Rated DB TOXIC TOXIC

[@dereklebeau]

Gotta say, im with the judges on this one. Certainty seems like kash player was trying to cheese it.

[@RayMon504]

Seems like every time dbgrinder sides with Elijah it low key blows up in his face. while I 100% agree that Fedd probably shoulda just chained to anchor right away, the rest of dbgrinder's argument goes out the window for this primary reason: Elijah knew the linkage was set. Based on reaction times it's very likely he had malicious intentions when asking the question in an attempt to enter a state where the set linkage couldnt activate.

[@jorganquesavidez6618]

Yes, that’s how I saw it too. Elijah seems to be in a lot of these toxic matches, coincidence?

[@MannyB29]

Him going straight to "take? " shows bad intentions. Dosent respond 👍or anything, simply goes straight res trying to shark. Anyone that plays or vs striker know they mean to take when they click on the monster after negate res.

[@MannyB29]

It's also very reasonable to not immediately chain. It's a skillful tactic to wait for a response to take away more resources. Example if they have cosmic: you bait the cosmic and chain Linkage on the cosmic target.

I agree with kitty here. There was never explicit communication that fedd chose not to chain something onto it. Just because elijah asked a question on how something would resolve, it doesnt decide that the chain is now resolving.

[@airamwnunezdelgado8216]

He said yes to taking w anchor tho, you/the activator of Widow anchor CHOOSE if you wanna take or not, elijah was asking if he was gonna take, he said yes. Any person with decent understanding would assume they were gonna take it. Also doesnt help the striker player didntngo in the same message "yeah, but imma chain"

[@topcuttribe3903]

Elijah would’ve bitched about the linkage being flipped regardless of when it happened. The cards Fedd had pissed him off, we’ve seen it before. I think he just said yes to make the communication clear when asked, wasn’t about resolution. 1 second in between activations and elijah passed the fenrir before anything else could’ve happened.

​@@airamwnunezdelgado8216lmfao you are just as big a clown to think answering the question means he is resolving. Its obvious to everyone that he asked him the question right away and tossed to try and argue against him chaining. He should have stayed quiet and fedd would say take he asked him because he was being a toxic ruleshark and it didnt work so now he is pissed cus nobody is buying his bs. If he was good enough he wouldnt have to ruleshard this hard to get out of a chain.

[@TheBreadbocks]

I'm with the striker player on this one (except the insult part). Elijah was being really sharky with the saying take means you're resolving chain angle, he flipped linkage the same second elijah passed fenrir and you've agreed in the past that less than 1 second is not a reaction it's thing they were doing anyways.

[@Lollbunzee]

Insult -the part where he patronisingly asked if Elijah is autistic? That's a really, really light ribbing considering it took Elijah much less time to call his opponent's English sh**ty and to mock his attempts at communication. It's hard to learn a second language; nobody deserves to be ridiculed like that, least of all people who are trying to defend themselves from an imbecile.

I feel like a normal response would be saying you have no response to anchor. elijah didnt say ok to anchor to signal he had no response he just went straight to attempting to resolve the chain.

[@timbahr1792]

That kash player hella cheating game 1 lmao. Just accept that you got outplayed. When the secondary condition of a striker spell is met and able to apply you as the player must declare weather your applying the secondary effect of the card.

Its just up to interpretation wether you think its more of a case of miscomunication or a case of misplaying.

Bro dbgrinder double standards by calling Jonjones and Cashdash cheaters (rightfully so), but when it comes to someone he knows (like Elisiah) it suddenly gets downplayed.

[@TheCerinianAssassin]

Maybe this is a thing people shouldn't do in the first place. You shouldn't ask your opponent about their intention with an optional affect that is decided at resolution; without letting them continue to build the chain. Personally, it looks to me as though the Kashtira player is intentionally using the question to cheat the Striker player. You just shouldn't do that. Also, intention vs action. "Are you going to take?" and "Are you taking?" are two drastically different questions here, and simply "take?" is an insufficient question lacking that crucial information. I agree with the judges here.

Yugioh just feels like it's turning into more of a debate now where you can't say anything because if you do then you run the risk of "accepting a game state" or "agreeing to resolve" when you probably are just trying to clarify each step of the way, but again, is just taken as "he meant what he said, not what he meant"...

Oh DB Grinder, you're MEATRIDING Elijah again....

[@cbr274]

I think it’s intentionally miscommunicating, responding “yes” to “take?” (with cards still on the field after you’re activating linkage the same second as Fenrir changing control) shouldn’t mean you meant to end the chain, take the Fenrir, send cards to the graveyard. Opponent could have meant “yes I’m going to end up taking when the chain resolves”. Definitely not one-sided though.

[@iceize101]

"take?" is phrased as a yes/no question and obviously you're not gonna say no and if you don't think your opponent is communicating in bad faith or if you're not fully paying attention then I don't think anyone would have thought to write "yes but I will chain"

A person in a toxic environment will become toxic. You can see this by looking at who goes to jail. The most common denominator for people in jail is in their past they have been in contact with child protective services (aka broken homes).

Nah bro this is not how ygo works. The only thing he could say in that occasion is "i have nothing in response and giving you back the priority".

Also your case is completly different as he did an irreparable action and also depends how much time has passed. Lets say you wanted to chain something to your own virus and your opponent insta-show you his hand; by your logic you can't anymore and got "outplayed".

Tbh i wouldve asked "take?" aswell if i didnt have a response to widow. Striker player definetely got caught off guard. Also during the last turn Elijah used prep twice🙃

[@ImCodyReyna]

So basically Elijah is asking if hes taking to potentially mind game his opponent into agreeing to resolve the chain and not add another chain to it. Im sure he read the other FD as a striker card and asked right away. Meanwhile the striker guy was answering a question, probably just trying to be a decent opponent. However that doesn't mean you call your opponent names, or at least sneakly call him one. Thats unsportsmanlike.

Bro I've been playing irl for less than two years and I know what my opponent's trying to do with those questions, when I activate Welcome Labrynth with the field spell on play and they ask me if I'm gonna pop I just answer 'that happens on resolution' or something among those lines. Mind games are legal and part of any type of game, killing off mind games just lowers the skill ceiling and dumbs down any game. No one should be rewarded for being stupid. I'm 100% with Elijah in this particular case, I agree that it was unfortunate that according to the logs the other player chained almost at the same time, the fact that he typed his answer just shuts down any sort of discussion from my point of view.

He switched control in the same second he activated the card . If that's not rule sharking I don't know what is . He was arguing like yugioh is single player game . You could have had a response . If it was me I probably would waited like 30 secs to see if my opp could play first

[@Timanator619]

Dont you have to say which effect you are using in order for them to respond? Like you cant ash unless they say draw 2

[@HYDEinallcaps]

I think the wording on Ash means that, if a card INCLUDES a listed effect(e.g. drawing card(s)), you can activate it. I dunno, I'm probably talking out my ass. Ask an actual judge.

Shouldn't be questioning if someone is neurodivergent and shouldn't be making fun of another person's (likely) second language, both duelists were in the wrong
