Forum:"Same Name" Card Effect

From Yugipedia
Jump to: navigation, search


Cards like Phalanx Pike, and Chthonian Alliance say that a monsters attack is increased for each card with the same name. I saw in the card ruling of Chthnonian Alliance that cards like Harpie Lady still get the +800 effect with cards like Harpy Ladie 2 and Harpie lady 3. What I am asking is do these cards power up cards like "Six Samurai" Archetypes? I know this would work for every archetype with the same name and that might be a little too much, but if I had a "Six Samurai-Yaichi" and a "Six Samurai-Zanji" (just for examples) Would I get the extra 900 [if Yaichi was in my graveyard and I had Zanji face up on the field equipped with Phalanx Pike] or 800 attack[if both were face up on the field for Chthonian Alliance]? Or does it have to be the exact same name? If anyone could reply as soon as possible thanks!

it would not work on the six samurais because they do not have the same name why it works on the harpie ladies 1 2 and 3 is because in their effects it says "this cards name is treated as harpy lady" so it gets the effect, but suffers from things like kotodama
