Yu-Gi-Oh! Q&A

[Exiro Divinus]

Can I count the number of cards in my deck during a duel?

[JesusofChaos™]

^ Yes the number of cards in your deck is public knowledge at any time in the duel

JoC, do you think it'd be okay if I (or you) turned this into the TCG question thread? That way we can save a lot of space by putting all the questions in one place.

You can, but there's really no point.

What about "Shield Crushed"?

You can use Cyber Valley's effect when it is attacked.

You cannot use Cyber Valley's effect when it is destroyed, by a card effect or otherwise.

[JesusofChaos™]

Yes you can turn it into a thread for questions

In that case, I guess a title change would fit this topic well now.

[JesusofChaos™]

Done

[JesusofChaos™]

Yes because when DAD is summoned, it must be successfully summoned to have cloak and dagger atcivate its effect. Cloak and Dagger uses the chain thus you can chain DADs effect to the cloak and dagger removal effect, to destroy one card before DAD is destroyed

[Phantom Roxas]

Okay, thanks.

Continuing, if you call Priority on Dark Armed Dragon, and you destroy Cloak and Dagger, then would Dark Armed Dragon stay on the field?

My idea is that it should, since the Continuous trap is removed, and can no longer resolve.

[JesusofChaos™]

Right scratch my first answer as it is incorrect.
Normally, after you Special Summon "Demise", you, as the Turn Player, have Priority to activate his Ignition Effect. But, since the effect of "Cloak and Dagger" is a Mandatory Trigger that automatically activates when the appropriate monster is Summoned, it 'uses' up the Turn Player's Priority and automatically becomes Chain Link 1 of the Summon Response Chain. The Turn Player can certainly chain to the effect of "Cloak and Dagger", but not with the effect of "Demise" because it's a Spell Speed 1 Ignition Effect.

Im using the example of demise. Trigger effects are spell speed 2. DADs ignition effect is spell speed 1 thus cannot be chained

[Chaos Pudding]

If a player activates Exchange, and their opponent takes their Goldd, and then the owner of the Goldd activates Card Destruction, does the Goldd get its second effect?

[JesusofChaos™]

^ At the moment there is no official ruling. However lvl 3 judges say that only the first effect is activated. This is because of this ruling: The opponent is still considered the owner of the card you take by the effect of "Exchange" for all purposes. This means that discarding by card destruction is still considered being destroyed by your own card effect and you only get to special summon it to your side of the field

[Almost_TotalObelisk]

Does this create an Infinite Draw?
Bottomless Shifting Sand + Id the Super Demonic Lord + CoSR

Sorry if you don't do OCG rulings

[「tea.leaf」]

^ I don't see why not.

[JesusofChaos™]

It is hard to rule on a card that doesnt exist but i would say no. I would rule it like d.d. scout plane where it can only return once per end phase and if it is destroyed in the end phase it is special summoned, it has to wait until the next one to special summon itself

[Almost_TotalObelisk]

Yea, I don't Think BSS works that way.

Because if it did, it would be an auto-field nuker.

[Judgment Dragon]

This may sound like a nooby question but if I copy Judgment Dragon with Phantom of Chaos, would I get a mill at the end of the turn if it is still present on the field?

[JesusofChaos™]

Both Phantom of Chaos effect and JDs mill effect activate at the same time. Thus you can place them on a chain in any order you please.
So the best way to do it would be
Phantom of Chaos effect as chain link 1
JDs mill effect as chain link 2

Thus you get to mill then PoC loses the name and effect.

This is the same if you take control of a LS with brain control

[Judgment Dragon]

Thanks for clearing that up.
