Yu-Gi-Oh! Rulings Questions


Recommended Posts

I have a couple questions about Link arrows:
1. If a Link monster is in a Main Monster Zone, do any Up arrows point the opponent's monster zones?
2. If a Link monster is in a Main Monster Zone, do Up-Left and Down-Left arrows point to the monster zone to the left of it, or only arrows that point directly Left?

No, only cards in the Extra Monster Zone can point to the opponent's field.

Ehhhh, what? What do you mean by pointing "directly left"? A card either points left or it doesn't. Those do point left, they always will.

If the Link Monster with Link Markers in direction Nord-West and South-West is in a Main Monster Zone, it won't be able to Link to anything since it is not pointing to adiacent Monster Zones.

Firstly, what's with the random swedish or whatever, second, that's completely false, and does not make any sense whatsoever, the entire point of pointing to the left is so you can use the one adjacent to it.

Sorry, I always forget to translate cardinal points. Anyway, he was not asking about the left arrow, but the one corresponding to south-west, so you are talking about different things.

You mean diagonally? Oh, I misunderstood the entire thing then. Well, it that case, you are right, it won't do anything, left and right are the only ones that would point to anything, those would not.

What do links like Gaiasaber and Firewall Dragon mean when they say "2+"? Does that mean I can use only 2 monsters to summon them or a Link 2 monster to summon them?

A Link Monster needs the amount of Link Materials that is equal to its Link Number, the one that's in the bottom right corner. Link Monsters provide additional Link Material equal to their Link Number. Those that state 2+ mean that you must be able to use at least 2 different monsters, meaning that you cannot use a Link 3 monster for Gaiasaber, you must use 2 monsters for that, so for example a Link-2 monster and another monster, or 3 monsters instead. Extra note, you can still treat Link Monsters as just one monster, even if their Link Number is higher than 1.

Dragonic Diagram says:

 

All "True Draco" and "True King" monsters on the field gain 300 ATK and DEF. The first time each Tribute Summoned "True Draco" or "True King" monster would be destroyed by battle each turn, it is not destroyed. Once per turn: You can destroy 1 other card you control or in your hand, and if you do, add 1 "True Draco" or "True King" card from your Deck to your hand.

With the way it's worded, do I have to be able to add a True King/Draco card to my hand to use the destroy part? I'm wanting to say no because of "and if you do".

Alright then. Though, follow up question. Would my opponent be able to request a deck check if I use Diagram without having targets to search for?

Well, you can't do that in the first place, you are expected to always know if you can activate a card or not, but in the case you somehow forgot you didn't have any target left, then yes, your opponent would be expected to look through it. Note that doing this at a tournament would probably get you a warning or penalty in some cases, since you played a card illegally.

You must have a True Draco or True King card in your Deck to activate the effect in question.

 

Here's an example scenario of "and if you do" coming into play:

 

You have 5 cards in your Deck, including a True Draco or True King card, you activate Diagram's effect, and you Chain Needlebug Nest. The Chain resolves, and you send any remaining True Draco and/or True King cards in your Deck to the Graveyard. In this case, you still destroy a card in your hand or you control with Diagram's effect and stop resolving the effect there.

 

"A, and if you do, B" means that when you resolve the activated effect, you do A even if you can determine that you won't be able to do B. It doesn't tell you anything about whether you can activate the effect at all.

 

That's what Zaziuma meant by "You got it." If you're resolving Diagram's effect in question, you still destroy even if you won't be able to add because it says "and if you do" and not something like "and" alone, but you can't choose to activate the effect without a True Draco or True King card in your Deck.

Whats the reasoning behind ultra polymerization not being able to work properly with starving venom?

 

The Fusion Materials for Starving Venom are required to be on the field. The idea is, when they leave the field, they are no longer the Fusion Materials for that Summon as they do not meet the conditions needed at that point.

My opponent activates Lithosagym's effect in the hand. I chain Trickstar Reincarnation. How does Lithosagym's effect resolve? Do they still get to destroy 2 monsters including an EARTH (for no summon, obviously), or does it just completely fizzle? And why?

True Dracos vs Yang zing. 

 

Can I use draco effs in response to YZ destruction effs?

Please try to mention specific cards or effects when you ask ruling questions, it makes it easier to understand what you're talking about. I believe that you mean the searching effect of something like Dinomight Knight, the True Dracofighter. Yes, however not if it was destroyed by battle though, as it's a Quick Effect, and only in certain cases are Quick Effects allowed in the Damage Step.

Following up from the Starving Venom Question, with that logic, would Zombie World prevent Ultra Polymerization from reviving monsters using non-Zombie-Type materials?

 

You can't activate Ultra Poly's effect in the Graveyard by targeting a Fusion Monster that lists, say, '1 non-Zombie-Type monster' or '1 Dragon-Type monster' as Fusion Material if Zombie World is applying its effects.

 

Can I target a face-down true draco/king card with True Draco Apocalypse's 1st bullet effect?

 

Nope. You can't determine a Set card's name.

Do link monsters have to stay connected in order to make extra EMZs?

 

Example: Is this a legal thing or nah?

[spoiler=This thing]

Link Monsters don't create Extra Monster Zones. The two Extra Monster Zones near the centre of the field are the only ones there are. You can Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck to a Main Monster Zone that a Link Monster points to, but it doesn't make that zone an Extra Monster Zone.

 

I don't understand your question. If it's a Main Monster Zone that a Link Monster points to, you can Special Summon monsters from the Extra Deck to it. If you use a Link Monster as Material for a Special Summon from the Extra Deck, you can't Special Summon to a Main Monster Zone it pointed at when it was on the field if no other Link Monster is pointing to that zone.

 

I don't understand what you're asking with your screenshot either. That configuration is absolutely possible, provided there was a Link Monster that pointed to the Main Monster Zone that Proxy Dragon is currently in when Proxy Dragon was Link Summoned. But say you only controlled Firewall Dragon. In that case, you could only Link Summon Proxy Dragon in the Main Monster Zone behind Firewall Dragon. The Main Monster Zone Proxy Dragon currently occupies in your screenshot doesn't have any Link Monster pointing to it.
