Exodia Trivia

My apologize for misunderstand your point of why he had an error. At least I got some research to clearing it up, hm? --iFredCat 20:25, December 3, 2012 (UTC)

I probably should've been more specific as to where the error came from.--MasterMarik (talk • contribs) 20:29, December 3, 2012 (UTC)

Indeed, that's what "research" came in the handle. It's not hard once you study the source enough. Also, be sure to using indents to keep the conversation connect, they are useful only in Forum/Talk Page. --iFredCat 20:30, December 3, 2012 (UTC)

Rarity Signature

Thank you for notice the mistake. I went ahead and moved it into correct rarity. And also, in future reference, please be sure to remember to signing your signature (look like this: ~~~~ OR click the curving words button that sit next to No Wiki button (which look like a W with red circle and cross)) at end of your comment whenever you respond in Talk Page OR Discussion article, included Forum articles. This is just an advice, don't take it as an insult or anything. Keep up a good work, amigo. --iFredCat 16:54, December 31, 2012 (UTC)

Card replacements in the dub

Sure, it matches up now. But "Negative Energy Generator" doesn't have lightning bolts like "Negative Energy" does, which was I deleted it. Next time, it couldn't hurt to add a reason why you undo an edit, ok? --UltimateKuriboh (talk • contribs) 17:43, March 11, 2013 (UTC) I attempted to add a link but I hit the enter button first. --MasterMarik (talk • contribs) 17:50, March 11, 2013 (UTC)

Card Rulings Forum

Why did you delete my ruling message? --UltimateKuriboh (talk • contribs) 01:44, September 10, 2013 (UTC)

I didn't mean to. I was posting my own response to that question and the edit I made must've gotten rid of yours.--MasterMarik (talk • contribs) 01:49, September 10, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your answer. I guess the same goes for Fiend skull dragon, correct?Tasmar (talk • contribs) 12:24, September 27, 2013 (UTC)

Yes, any Fusion Monster with text saying "A Fusion Summon can only be conducted with the above Fusion Material Monsters" or "Must first be Special Summoned by Fusion Summon with the above Fusion Material Monsters" cannot be Special Summoned with Instant Fusion, even if they meet its requirements because of their first line of text below their listed Fusion Materials. Any Fusion Monster without this line can be Fusion Summoned with Instant Fusion.--MasterMarik (talk • contribs) 12:39, September 27, 2013 (UTC)

Photoshopped image

Thanks for keeping vigilant on the card image uploads. If File:InzektorSwordZektkaliber-ORCS-EN-UtR-1E.png is indeed photo manipulated, I can delete it and we have another .jpg version, which I can restore to use instead. What makes you say the image is Photoshopped? Aside from irregularities associated with scanning Ultimate Rares, it looks normal to me. -- Deltaneos (talk) 20:11, October 29, 2013 (UTC) The name is not only too yellow when compared to the more gold name that Ultra and Ultimate Rares have but there's no indentation for where the name is placed and you can see the comparison to the Ultra Rare version. Also the text for the lore is the wrong size and looks suspicious overall. --MasterMarik (talk • contribs) 20:17, October 29, 2013 (UTC)

Uploads

Please upload new versions of existing images under the same file name (unless the image is a jpg, in which case we'd prefer you upload a png to replace it). Thanks. --Golden Key (talk • contribs) 21:03, February 16, 2014 (UTC)

Thank you. (InnerRage2 (talk • contribs) 12:48, March 2, 2014 (UTC))

I can because that's just it. Because it is specifically written on two "Elemental HERO" cards, it should at least be related to the archetype. (InnerRage2 (talk • contribs) 20:46, March 6, 2014 (UTC))

You're speaking nonsense. By your logic, cards like "Feather Wind" and "Bubble Illusion" also shouldn't be related to the "Elemental HERO" archetype. Should I all of those? No. Also, your H argument doesn't hold up, because there are new archetypes that are specifically designed for the letters of the Latin alphabet. I think it would be better for this site if "Metamorphosis" is left as related to the Elemental HERO archetype, but not actually being in it. Thank you for your time, sir/madam.

Hyphens in card image names

We don't allow hyphens in the card names, nor any other non-alphanumeric character. Please just join the words together, but continue to use the standard naming format... as well as providing the edition of the card. --UltimateKuriboh (talk • contribs) 12:35, July 3, 2014 (UTC)

YS14 images

Whenever you post a new image, please, put the following template:

{{OCG-TCG card image
| name    = 
| set     = YS14
| region  = EN
| rarity  = 
| edition = 1E
}}

IgorThunderMaster (talk • contribs) 16:40, July 3, 2014 (UTC)

Follow the example: File:VentdratheEmpoweredWarrior-YS14-EN-C-1E.png. Did you understand? IgorThunderMaster (talk • contribs) 16:43, July 3, 2014 (UTC)

That makes sense. I know I screwed up one but even after I re-uploaded it it didn't change.--MasterMarik (talk • contribs) 18:42, July 3, 2014 (UTC)

Uploading Card Images

When you upload card images, please use the following in your edit summary when you upload them (copy/paste them). If you somehow forget, you can edit the file and add it in afterwards. If you uploaded an image like File:OverlayBooster-LVAL-EN-C-1E.png, then you would use the following:

{{OCG-TCG card image
| name    = Overlay Booster
| set     = LVAL
| region  = EN
| rarity  = C
| edition = 1E
}}

For Official Proxies, you use:

{{OCG-TCG card image
| name    = Battleguard Howling
| set     = DUEA
| region  = EN
| release = OP
}}

And for Chinese/Japanese cards, you use:

{{OCG-TCG card image
| name    = Battleguard Howling
| set     = DUEA
| region  = JP
| edition = C
}}

--UltimateKuriboh (talk • contribs) 01:24, August 3, 2014 (UTC)

Minor change, please use OCG-TCG card image, not TCG-OCG card image. --Golden Key (talk • contribs) 15:33, August 6, 2014 (UTC)

Reminder to use the template. And please, crop the card borders. We don't want unnecessary white space around the card images. --UltimateKuriboh (talk • contribs) 04:21, August 15, 2014 (UTC)

"Curry Fiend Roo" is a Djinn monster, so it makes sense for "Curry Pot" to be related to that Archetype.(NewRuler (talk • contribs) 23:13, October 18, 2014 (UTC))

RE:Sacred Beasts and Dark Armed Dragon

I didn't remove DAD; I agree with its "abusability." But Uria destroying a Set S/T card is the near equivalent of a "Night Beam". And even if Hamon destroys an opponent's monster by battle, it won't inflict effect damage. --UltimateKuriboh (talk • contribs) 16:11, November 13, 2014 (UTC)

Why not? A Bolt from the Blue doesn't negate the monster's effects. --MasterMarik (talk • contribs) 18:53, November 13, 2014 (UTC)

But it does protect your opponent from any further damage the turn it's activated, not just battle damage. --UltimateKuriboh (talk • contribs) 18:54, November 13, 2014 (UTC)

Uploads and licensing

Hi Marik. Thanks for finding un-watermarked versions of those Japanese cards. We'd really appreciate if you could upload pngs instead of jpgs though, even if the image you are replacing is a jpg. Also, when adding the licensing to Japanese images, leave out the "edition =" field. Take care! --Golden Key (talk • contribs) 03:43, December 18, 2014 (UTC)

I tried to upload one as a .png but it told me that it needed to be a .jpg.--MasterMarik (talk • contribs) 12:25, December 18, 2014 (UTC)

You won't be able to upload a png under the jpg file name. You'll need to upload it as a new file altogether. --Golden Key (talk • contribs) 14:32, December 18, 2014 (UTC)

RE: Images Not Viewing Full Size

Sorry for the late response; is it still occurring for you? And does this only occur in Wikia skin (millenium items background)? --UltimateKuriboh (talk • contribs) 02:40, January 15, 2015 (UTC)

Seems to have been fixed and might've been a general Wiki bug.--MasterMarik (talk • contribs) 12:59, January 15, 2015 (UTC)

RE:A Wild Monster Appears Rulings

Normal Summon a monster, your opponent uses "Trap Hole" (you now control no monsters). Normal Summon a Level 4 monster, use your only other monster (Level 4) to Xyz Summon "Diamond Dire Wolf", which destroys itself and an opponent's card (you now control no monsters). Etc. There is a difference between the wordings:

For the rest of this turn, you cannot Normal Summon/Set or Special Summon monsters, and your opponent takes no damage.

and

You cannot Normal Summon/Set or Special Summon monsters the turn you activate this card, and your opponent takes no damage. (like "Scapegoat")

Like I said, the judge forum program ruling for Sparrer explains this. "During this turn" or "the turn" means the whole turn, after and before you resolve that card/effect. "For the rest of this turn" means only after the card/effect resolves.--UltimateKuriboh (talk • contribs) 18:35, January 24, 2015 (UTC)

Opposite Player's Box or Not?

Then I do not understand. The English dub does NOT "mention", as you first said, that it applies to the opponent's Life Points. Instead, Joey/Marik says to look down, and although the scene didn't cut out the red arrows and shows Joey's box first, that doesn't mean that there wasn't a change in adaptions for this duel just because things such as the arrows weren't cut out. Joey/Marik says: "That small yellow box is your Life Point counter, but it also contains the key to your survival. When one player's Life Points reach zero, the other player's box opens, revealing a key that unlocks his shackles."

So if a player's yellow box is both his Life Point counter AND contains the SAME player's key, then the boxes' "rules" are different from the Japanese version. How can, if Joey's box is the one showing Yugi's Life Points, also have the key for himself instead of Yugi?Mistystar31 (talk • contribs) 01:55, February 1, 2015 (UTC)

Alright, fine. I realized myself I was wrong; in fact, I believe quite a while back I'm the one who, in the last episode of this Duel (#78), actually wrote in the error section that when Yugi and Joey each lost all their Life Points, their own boxes showed their own Life Points go to zero, instead of vice versa as Marik/Joey said in the first episode (#75) of the Duel.

I haven't watched this episode in a long time and just considered it as generic when watching it this time, regardless of the arrows. So I wasn't taking into account that when Joey/Marik talked about and showed that "small yellow box", saying it was "your Life Pointer counter", and the scene first showed Joey's box, that Joey's box would be "your", or Yami's, Life Point counter. Also, for the boxes having the "key to your survival" part, this had to do with me thinking each player's box showed their own Life Points, so that when either player lost, the winner's box would keep its amount, then open, and give him his shackle's key, instead of the winner's box showed the loser's Life Points went to 0 and then the winner's box would open and give him the key. But now I remember everything.Mistystar31 (talk • contribs) 05:37, February 1, 2015 (UTC)

Both boxes had a key as Joey was the one attempting to save Yugi and thought only one key would be necessary to save both Yugi and himself until it didn't work on Yugi's shackles. The dub episode 60 explains it better as Arkana says it directly. It's clear that this would apply to this episode and it did. Each box had a key that was intended to be claimed if the opponent had lost. Of course, you're right in that it should've been such that the box next to the player displays their own LPs and if they won, the box would open.--MasterMarik (talk • contribs) 12:32, February 1, 2015 (UTC)

I know both boxes had a key, one for each player to get if the other lost, and that Joey attempted to save Yugi by grabbing the key in the box at Yugi's feet. However, whether or not he thought that only one key would be necessary to save both of them, you are wrong in saying it didn't work on Yugi's shackles--he saved Yugi, and it didn't work on his own, even though Joey tried to free himself before Serenity dived in with his own key. This was most likely because, although not important to this topic, Marik had learned after one key in the Duel with Arkana worked for both of their feet's shackles that he needed to make the keys different for each player in this deadly Duel, even though both the handcuffs and keys looked the same for this Duel. And yes, when watching the dub episode 60, Arkana explains that the boxes showed their opponent's Life Points, and the boxes had light blue arrows pointing to the other duelist. But people can forget certain rules about key boxes from a time of 15 episodes, and dub episode 75 didn't explain it as good as Arkana did, with Joey just saying the boxes were the LP counters and had a key. But anyway, why do you say I was right in that the box next to the player should have shown their own LPs (and of course opened when he won, which is what happened and Joey did explain), since that was what I was trying to do in our small editing war in "difference of adaptions"?Mistystar31 (talk • contribs) 22:21, February 1, 2015 (UTC)

Logically, it makes more sense. Having the box directly next to the player be displaying their Life Points is how it is done in the real game as well. --MasterMarik (talk • contribs) 22:23, February 1, 2015 (UTC)

That is more logical, which is why, when I watched dub episode 75 yesterday, I thought of the boxes that way, instead of showing the opponent's LPs. But renewing my memory with watching episode 60, yeah it would be the other way, but Joey didn't explain it as well as Arkana to be this way, especially with his explanation quote I wrote above. But anyway, do you realize, in my statements above when I realized I was wrong, with the scenes showing Joey's box first and saying it was "your (Yami's) LP counter", that it makes sense now (along with Arkana's explanation), and remembered how it was the opposite duelist's counter? (Although they made a mistake in the final, with each one's box showing their own LPs as they dropped to 0.)Mistystar31 (talk • contribs) 22:49, February 1, 2015 (UTC)

Earthen Spider Statue Trivia

Zombie Master looks nothing like Zoma the Spirit, but Earthen Spider Statue's level, def, artwork and the fact that its a Spider cant be mere coincidence. I mean just look at them side-by-side they look like palette swaps.
