CAPTAIN

Hello duellists. I am the Captain so if you need any help, feel free to ask me. I'm here to make this the greatest guild ever and I will do my best to make that happen.
Feeling lucky, then challenge me to a duel and prepare to lose.
For those of you who think duellist is spelt incorrectly, I am using the English spelling not the American spelling.

Judges:

We are issuing an errata for “Pulling the Rug”. The original Japanese card text was extremely vague (the sentence had no subject), and so the actual effect of the card was open to interpretation. A very liberal interpretation was finally decided for the effect, but this decision was unfortunately made after the card went to press.

Here’s the new text:

"Negate the activation and effect of an Effect Monster whose effect activated when a monster was Normal Summoned (even itself), and destroy that Effect Monster."

What this means is that “Pulling the Rug” can also be used to negate and destroy an Effect Monster with a Trigger Effect that activated when a monster was Normal Summoned, (King Tiger Wanghu, Mysterious Puppeteer, etc.) in addition to an Effect Monster whose own effect activated when it was Normal Summoned (Zaborg the Thunder Monarch, etc.).

I just wanted to get this cleared up in case any troubles arise early.

When "The Six Samurai - Zanji" (w/ another Six Samurai of another name face-up, etc.) attacks and destroys a "Mystic Tomato"...

A) "Mystic Tomato" goes to the graveyard as a result of battle and the appropriate player searches (if they choose)

B) "The Six Samuari - Zanji"'s effect activates destroying it via it's effect.

Reference text for Zanji:

"While you control another "Six Samurai" monster with a different name, destroy any monster this card attacks at the end of the Damage Step."

-------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

"The Six Samurai - Zanji's" effect is not applied until the end of the Damage Step.

The "Mystic Tomato" destroyed by "The Six Samurai - Zanji" is sent to the graveyard before this occurs. The "Mystic Tomato's" effect activates.

can destiny hero dashers effect be used if necrovally is active on the field?




---------------------------------------------------------
Answer:

From the FAQ:
""Necrovalley" will NOT negate effects that are activated when a card is sent TO the Graveyard or that activate IN the Graveyard or that count cards in the Graveyard."


The monster Special Summoning effect of "Destiny Hero - Dasher" activates in the Graveyard.

It doesn't target a card in the Graveyard nor does it try to remove a card(s) from the Graveyard.


It works just fine.

Suppose I have two "Six Samurai" monsters on the field and one is equipped with
"Legendary Ebon Steed." My opponent activates "Lightning Vortex" and asks
whether I want to respond. I say yes, and decide to protect the "Six Samurai"
monster that is not equipped by destroying the equipped one.

My question is, how would this resolve? Would "Legendary Ebon Steed" get
destroyed instead of the "Six Samurai" I was going to use to protect the other
one, thus leaving the two monsters on the field after "Lightning Vortex"
resolves? Or would the unequipped monster and "Legendary Ebon Steed" be
destroyed since the "Six Samurai" that I was going to sacrifice did not get
destroyed?

Thanks.


----------------------------------------------------
Answer:

That plan does not work.

Your equipped "Six Samurai" is ALSO being destroyed by the very same "Lightning Vortex".

"Legendary Ebon Steed" will protect the equipped "Six Samurai" by destroying itself. The other face-up "Six Samurai" is destroyed.

So taking this one step further, if I have two Legendary Ebon Steeds on one
Six Samurai, and another face up SIx Samurai, when Lightning Vortex goes
off, can I choose the equipped Six Samurai to be destroyed instead of my
unequipped, thus leaving them both on the field, and the two Ebon Steeds
being destroyed?


---------------------------------------------------
Answer:

That will also fail.

BOTH "Legendary Ebon Steed" will destroy themselves to protect the equipped "Six Samurai".

From the FAQ: "If multiple copies of “Legendary Ebon Steed” are equipped to the same “Six Samurai” monster and that monster would be destroyed, all of the “Legendary Ebon Steeds” are destroyed."


The end result is exactly the same as the previous entry.
