ok so say i have Star dust dragon on the field. my opponent plays either ancient gear golem or reactor dragon. their effects is this:

Ancient gear golem:

Cannot be Special Summoned. If this card attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing battle damage to your opponent. If this card attacks, your opponent cannot activate any Spell/Trap Cards until the end of the Damage Step.

Ancient gear reactor dragon:

If this card that was Tribute Summoned by Tributing an "Ancient Gear" monster attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing battle damage to your opponent. If this card was Tribute Summoned by Tributing a "Gadget" monster, it can make a second attack during each Battle Phase. If this card attacks, your opponent's Spell/Trap Cards and monster effects cannot be activated until the end of the Damage Step. At the end of the Damage Step, if this card attacked: You can destroy 1 Spell/Trap Card on the field.

Star dust dragon can negate the ability of cards that have the ability to destroy other cards. That said would using either of these ancient gear monsters ability to stop card effect allow me to use stardust dragon's tribute effect?

  • Ancient Gear Golem attacking only prevents Spell/Trap cards from activating until the end of Damage Step. Reactor Dragon prevents monster effects as well. Stardust Dragon's effect to negate an effect that would destroy a card would activate because Reactor Dragon's effect to destroy a card would be at the end of the Damage Step, and its effect to prevent an opponent from activating an effect is only sustained until the end of the Damage Step, so its effect would be down, and thus giving Stardust Dragon the chance to activate its effect.

Thank you for the information. Just so there is no confusion, could you please simplify your response. as i am a little confused. thank you

  • Okay, first off, forget about Ancient Gear Golem. Him and Stardust Dragon have zero relevance to each other's effects. Its really Ancient Gear Reactor Dragon that you need to pay attention to. When Ancient Gear Reactor Dragon attacks, you cannot activate any Spell, Trap, or Monster effects until the end of the Damage Step. When the Damage Step ends, Ancient Gear Reactor Dragon's effect activates, allowing the player to destroy 1 Spell/Trap on the field.
    • The Damage Step has already ended at this point, meaning that Reactor Dragon's effect to prevent you from activating Spell, Trap, or Monster effects are no longer applied, so you can activate Stardust Dragon's effect now.
      • Meaning after Reactor Dragon attacks, its effect activates, and you can chain Stardust Dragon's effect to negate Reactor Dragon's effect and destroy it.
  • Is that better?
  • that is much better thank you
