This is my favorite series now. I wanna see more of distant & co testing MD

[@DeepCDiva]

"The problem card is Skill Drain" you could say that in a lot of situations...

[@Seloliva1015]

The question is, did someone decide that Skil drain is the problem, or tends to be a problem, or is the game programed to just destroy one of the cards that caused the loop?

[@warcriminalyes]

In Pole position stuff, they destroy pole position. So i suppose it is the actual issue.

[@clovias]

I highly doubt that they either code specific cases for all the possible interactions that cause an infinite loop or just assume that if skill drain(or some other card) is involved in one it is THE card to pop. Most likely what happens is that when the game engine starts processing the result of the interaction, it detects that a loop is going on (maybe detecting that the 'stack' of effects (not the actual chain, I mean the effects being activated in the background due to some cards being turned on and off as a result of the loop) being run is too big or some stuff is happening repeatedly) and pops one of the first effects that were activated causing the interaction. How it decides what exactly to pop, I'm not sure, at least in this case. Edit: thinking about it, assume the game 'runs' every effect in the loop at least once before popping a card. So decree activates and negates skill drain, which 'activates' jinzo, which in turn negates decree and 'activates' skill drain, thus closing the first loop if i'm not mistaken. From then on these 'activations' are being repeated again, so the game might pop the last card in the first loop to prevent that from happening. This is all guesswork tho, it makes some sense but it's not something you can exactly tell without testing more loops to see how the game behaves.

[@robinsimon4176]

@@warcriminalyes but how is skill drain more of "the problem" than royal decree in this situation?

[@MsMiDC]

@@robinsimon4176 Well actually, you shouldnt be able to even activate Royal Decree at that point because you would be forming an infinite loop at that point. But i do think that rule actually changed. So Skill Drain is the problem because it is what makes the infinite loop happen, it keeps negating Jinzo, so i think thats why the SD is the problem here.

[@robinsimon4176]

@@MsMiDC so skill drain negating jinzo is the problem. Not royal decree negating skill drain? Cuz skill drain and jinzo can be on field perfectly fine, activating royal decree started the look. Imo that makes decree the problem card. But what do i know

[@sasukedarkwolf]

That pop.. that illigle pop. Server had to live through infinite loop and finally decided to take a drastic measure to do that

[@igotveemon]

The reason you need the brain control is because it changes this from a voluntary loop to an involuntary one, which is irrelevant because the rulings changed.

[@redgose4403]

the problem card is always skill drain even when there's no loop involved

[@joshuaalbertwolfe9986]

Never thought I would hear “Galactic God”‘s name again. He will be missed :(

[@amethonys2798]

I mean it makes sense to pick Skill Drain as the problem here because activating another shouldn't re-enter the loop since Jinzo hit the board first.

[@arrivals1]

MBT popping off never gets old

[@mercylessplayer]

This was soo cool please show the cactus fighter stuff too!

[@homecomin]

Can't wait for the one with Cactus Fighter

I think the cactus fighter one wouldn't do much in MD because you'd have to manually declare attacks and eventually run out of time.

[@johnlucas2838]

Loops that lead to game end aren't stopped from what I recall.

[@daxonion]

Skill drain is the problem card even outside this loop xD

[@ABOUNDTANA]

Cant wait to see more of these unproved rulings

[@bipolarprobe]

I love that Joseph references the oblivion ring situation from magic, because it's something that could technically happen in a real game and because magic doesn't use the same problem card approach that yugioh does, it just results in a draw

[@daemonicBookkeeper]

when MBT mentions "this is our oblivion ring situation" it's a reference to the situation shown in the video "LSV Breaks MTGO," where a player creates an infinite involuntary loop with three copies of the MtG card Oblivion Ring

I would love to see HysteriA from Hearthstone to be a part of this

[@Honerkamp]

i think they wanted to Brain Control the Jinzo to have Jinzo negate Skill Drain, then activate Decree under the effect of the equip spell since they own Jinzo now, then in the end phase let Jinzo's control get swapped over to the other player, making the "illegal move" be something that the game does automatically instead of a players action.

[@Pr1est0fDoom]

This resolution to the loop isn't new, this is how games as old as Spirit Caller(Spirit Caller has a whole ruling page on infinite loop gamestates, I imagine Nightmare Troub and maybe even the GBA games also did this though) have responded to gamestates like this, since the game is not great at pre-emptively recognizing illegal loop generating states, it just instantly pops the OLDEST card related to the loop behavior(Skill Drain is the oldest because it was sitting face-down for a while, otherwise Jinzo would explode)

Honestly agree with konami skill drain is kinda the crux for the entire infinite loop

[@anthonyarellano5944]

There's an infinite loop with cyberblader and falling down so if your opponent 2 archfiends and you control monster if your opponent activates falling down and takes your monster it would be illegal to summon cyber Blader since her third effect will ne gate the falling down which will ause an infinite Loop because you would constantly be switching control of that monster

[@elderyaag3534]

Is it possible to change the order of cards to: Royal Decree -> Jinzo -> Amp -> Skill Drain And if that is possible, will it still be Skill Drain that gets destroyed or is the "problem card" defined by different means than just "if loop -> destory this card". Maybe the order here could be important.

[@Terrantular]

I THINK the "problem card" that will be destroyed is still Skill Drain in each instance, because it is the last effect applied before the loop repeats; i.e. Jinzo summons; Jinzo effect applies, negate RD, apply SD, negate Jinzo, apply RD, negate SD, repeat. Every iteration of the loop ends on negating Skill Drain and reapplying Jinzo, so every loop should end by eliminating Skill Drain. Edit: Deleted "why u need Amplifier" bc Skill Drain needs Amplifier to not be negated by Jinzo so that it can negate Jinzo, so that Royal Decree can negate Skill Drain. I get it now.

[@chemicalchocobo]

@@Terrantular You need the Amplifier for the loop because without it, both traps will be negated by Jinzo once summoned if you have both decree and skill drain already active.

[@Terrantular]

@@chemicalchocobo oof yeah, clearly don't take my word, lol. Definitely need Amplifier.

[@syrelian]

How is this breaking the game? The game determined Skill Drain is the problem card so it destroyed it and ended the loop. Seems fine to me. This is consistent with the pole position ruling. We just didn't know what cards are the problem cards for every situation. Now we know.
