Yeah only yugioh related images are allowed (as far as I'm aware), also you can't have images on you're User page, or Talk Page. --Trivi-AM 19:46, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

As far as I know there isn't a reply option but the more you send messages to over Users the easier and less annoying it gets. :) --Trivi-AM 19:53, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Ninjitsu rulings

We only document rulings that were specifically issued by UDE or Konami. Users can't write their own ones. (even if they're true). -- Deltaneos (talk) 01:21, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

No, you can get OCG rulings off Konami's Japanese site. (Which may be difficult, as it is in Japanese). New TCG rulings are released shortly after a new Booster Pack. Shriektcg will post them on their site and Konami will have them available for download on their English site. Netrep has most of the old TCG rulings, but we've got most, if not all of them already. -- Deltaneos (talk) 01:43, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Yes, you can edit anything. It's only the rulings that have to be exactly as given from official sources. -- Deltaneos (talk) 01:45, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Trigger Effects

Sure what is it that you want to know? --Trivi-AM 19:04, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

OK well you can't Trap Hole a Cyber Valley since it has 0 ATK but lets say you had Torrential Tribute instead when your opponent Summons Valley they get Priority to use Cyber Valley's effect if they do then you can respond/chain with Torrential then a Chain occurs so since Torrential was activated last it goes first (I know it's confusing) and destroys Valley meaning that since Cyber Valley doesn't get it's effect since it's no longer on the field. --Trivi-AM 19:35, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Yes that's true if your opponent passes priority then you activate Torrential they can't chain since Torrential is a Spell Speed 2 while Cyber Valley's effect is Spell Speed 1 so your opponent can't chain Torrential's effect with Cyber Valley's since Cyber Valley isn't "fast enough"--Trivi-AM 19:54, 26 April 2009 (UTC).

You're welcome and you can always ask me about anything, if you have any problems. :) --Trivi-AM 20:06, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Royal Decree

Well Royal Decree wouldn't become Chain Link 2 because Royal Decree's effect is continuos so once Royal Decree is face-up it's effect doesn't "go off" whenever a Trap Card Activates. For example, if Royal Decree is face-up and your opponent has 2 face-down Spell or Trap Cards, you chose to activate Mystical Space Typhoon (MST) to destroy one of the Face-downs and opponent chains with Magic Jammer Royal Decree would negate Magic Jammer even though Royal Decree's "slower" than Magic Jammer. P.S. sorry for replying so late :). --Trivi-AM 15:17, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Well it depends really on which continuos Trap your talking about because if the card says that something has to happen e.g. pay so many life Points to ..., or, If your opponent attacks ... (if you don't understand look at Ultimate Offering and Ordeal of a Traveler), but since Royal Decree just says that "As long as card remains face-up" it doesn't, technically, respond to anything. --Trivi-AM 15:44, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

I'm always happy to help, just out of curiosity was the thing about Honest a direct question, or do you just want me to check, or neither? --Trivi-AM 17:46, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

OK then just wanted to make sure I didn't do the wrong thing XD. --Trivi-AM 17:54, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Deck Shuffling

HI, sorry for replying so late (again) XD, well when it comes to shuffling there aren't really any rules on shuffling just so long as you can't see the cards being Shuffling (unless a card's effect makes it face up while in the deck e.g. Pharaoh's Treasure). The reason why some cards say to shuffle the deck and others don't is just because it saves some print on the (e.g. here). Finally about the whole your opponent shuffling/cutting your deck, well that one's down to the players really, mostly it's just so the opponent knows that the opponent hasn't Stacked/cheated while shuffling there deck, also when shuffling while Convulsion of Nature is active then you still shuffle as you normally do, just turn the deck upside down afterwards. Hope that helps :) --Trivi-AM 16:15, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

OK then the simplest way to say this is that if a card says look through your deck and get ... e.g. Sangan first of all you have to show the card to your opponent, if the card has to be in a certain Category such as FIRE, 1500 ATK or less Field Spell etc, then you shuffle your deck even if the card says nothing about shuffling, this is a ruling since you've seen the cards in your Deck, while searching for the card you picked, and there's a chance you've remembered the order of the cards in your deck, put simply it's just make the game fair again. --Trivi-AM 17:14, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

OK then happy to help. --Trivi-AM 17:23, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Arcana Force 0 - The Fool

Put simply yes Arcana Force 0 can't be destroyed by battle even if attacked while face-down this is because the can't be destroyed battle effect always occurs regardless of the coin flip. On a side note I personally think it's better to just play Arcana Force 0 face-down all the time because then you avoid the risk involved with the coin flip unless your the sort of person who likes to takes risks. --Trivi-AM 15:43, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Glad you got the joke XD. I bet reading all the Arcana Force cards was fun (not). --Trivi-AM 19:33, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Battle Damage + Match Winners

If battle damage is reduced to 0 (such as with Spirit Barrier) the weakest monster is still destroyed, the exception to this is Waboku which in it's more recent prints says that the monster can't be destroyed so even if it's an older version, which don't say that the monster lives, still has the effect of the newer versions/copies. As for Meteo the Matchless and other cards (know as Match Winners) with similar effects state that if you reduce the opponents life points to 0 with them that you win the Match this only really applies for tournament games, which are best of 3 games; but since they're all Forbidden/Illegal you're not likely to face one in a game. --Trivi-AM 20:25, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Situation Examples

Wow, that's a lot of question's I'm not sure if I can answer them all but here goes:

• 1. If you activate Raigeki Break and your opponent chains with Royal Decree if you then chain with MST (Mystical Space Typhoon) and destroy Royal Decree, since it's no longer on the Field it's effect no longer applies so Raigeki Break resolves, destroying the selected card.
• 2. If your opponent activates Torrential (Torrential Tribute) and you chain with Call (Call of the Haunted) and chose to Jinzo then since Jinzo's effect is now active Torrential gets negated. If your opponent chains MST to Call then since Call is no longer on the Field and Jinzo's never summoned so Torrential resolves.
  • 2.5. The reason why you can't chain Trap Hole to the summoning of Jinzo is because Jinzo's effect is Continuos so never, technically, "activates" so your opponent can't activate Traps as soon as Jinzo's on the Field.
• 3. If you summon Exiled Force and chose to activate it's effect, since you have priority you can, then since it's effect requires it to tribute itself so since it's no longer on the Field Trap Hole can no longer be activated since it'll have nothing to destroy. The same goes for all effect monsters, but if they don't tribute themselves then your opponent can use Trap Hole etc to destroy the monster.
  • 3.5. If you have a card which says you can, if the conditions are right, and you use the because you have Priority then your opponent can use Trap Hole etc to destroy the monster, but you still get the Monsters effect.
    • 3.75. Yes you still have destroy something with Zaborg, even if it was destroyed.
• 4. If you activate Bait Doll and the opponent only has Counter Traps, but choses not to negate Bait Doll, then since the card's timing is incorrect then Bait Doll destroys it, also I think the opponent has to pay the cost to activate the Counter Trap, but I'm not 100% sure.

Hope that helps, if you have any other questions just ask :)--Trivi-AM 16:05, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Glad the info helped :) I think that so long as at least 1 player can Summon a Monster then the effect of Spear Cretin will resolve, and at least 1 player will get to summon a monster. --Trivi-AM 11:33, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

The Word "can"

Hi Xsamz, well it varies from card-to-card you can activate Stardust Dragon's effect during your opponents turn because it responds to a card that would destroy one your cards, but some cards like Plague Wolf and Exiled Force don't respond to anything so can only be activated your turn. Hope that helps. --Trivi-AM 17:30, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

RE: Sky Scourge Deck

Sakuretsu Armor isn't very good in todays format since almost every deck swarms with at least three or more monsters in a single turn. BlackWings, Gladiator beasts, Lightsworn, and Dark Armed Skill Drain are good examples of this. Waboku will not only prevent me from being OTK'd from a swarm of monsters, but it also helps keep certain monsters on my field (like what you said, a tuner monster). It also works well with Dark Mimic LV1 so I can level it up to a LV3, giving me more draw power and another decent target for my Creature Swaps. Plus, Trap cards nowadays should be chainable to almost anything since its easy to destroy them before the opponent attacks. Even Mirror Force is losing popularity cause its so easy to destroy before the Battle Phase, but I still like it.

The reason the deck is 45 cards is because of the ammount of deck searching and draw that I have. Normally, I would stick to a minimum of 40-43 cards, but almost every monster in the deck has the ability to thin out the deck in some sort of way. Examples include Nova Summoner, Mystic Tomato, Sangan, all of my Dark Mimics, Allure of Darkness, ect. In fact, when I tried to run 40 cards one time I decked MYSELF out, so in a way you were right. I might be worried about a deck out situation, but only from myself, kinda like how great empires like Rome fell apart because of themselves. lol

I'm glad you find the Scourges interesting. Its about time someone other than myself can see potential in them. If your looking to make a deck around them, feel free to check out some of the tips I have on my page for my own personal deck. The deck I use right now has changed a bit, but that particualar version is still plenty good. I might sudgest trying out Tragoedia though when it comes out in english. Its pretty much another Gorz, and its effect makes Synchro Summoning a breeze.

Well, thanks for listening. I hope I answered your questions and helped out a little bit. :) --Sky Scourge God 15:35, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

The Eye

Well here what I mean. 20. Well the 6 is deystroyed and the controler would lose 2 life points and the level 4 stay and it's controller loses nothing.

21. First I meant Life point not Manna. Then I would be Cards like Hinotama, scince you can't take away 1/2 life points. --SheimiRa 00:14, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Well even if they were the same level you would have to lose a life point so that way it fair. Also cards like Yubel you opponent would take the differnce in stars but no monster is destroyed. And scince some cards can't be deystroyed in battle, damage calculation is the diffecne of stars rule. Anything else I can help you with? --SheimiRa 15:45, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Well first let me say thank you! Your propmoting this style of play it took forever to make right and I still has some kinks that I should fix. Well, when I play it works out well , but I need to know how it will work with other real Duelist. --SheimiRa 20:40, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks.

If you want to know, I found it on a other wikia. The Horror'^{Speak if you dare} 15:29, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

I'd did not try to build a Gadget deck, they're slow and have no "victory condition". The point of the deck is wait until you're opponent used all of his cards. The Horror'^{Speak if you dare} 18:19, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

---

The best deck currently is the Gladiator Beast deck. Test Tiger is not so expensive anymore now it can be found in the Gold Series 2. If you want a good decklist, look at the deck at Airbellum's page. His Rescue Gladiator Deck is near perfect. The Horror'^{Speak if you dare} 14:45, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

• Don't try to get a Zombie Deck now Card of Safe Return, Mezuki and Plaguespreader Zombie are Limited. The point of a Zombie Deck is swarming the field to OTK your opponent. If you can't defeat your opponent in this turn, because of Waboku/Threatening Roar or even Book of Moon/Enemy Controller, you won't be winning anymore. Your opponent will control the field again and you will lose because you used all the cards in your hand for the failed OTK. Believe me, it happens all the time with my Zombie deck.

--ok.I'll try to remove Doom Lord.Actually,before,it was 40,but because i'm using now Allure of Darkness,I add in some cards to make it 42.

Archetype lists

It's not necessarily all the monsters are members and all the Spell and Trap Cards are support. Support cards are the cards which affect Archfiends. Anything that's viable for the support is considered a member, which is usually just monsters, but can also include Spell and Trap Cards. For example "Infernalqueen Archfiend" is a member, because it has "Archfiend" in its name, but it's also support, because its affect increases the ATK of "Archfiend" monsters. Any Spell or Trap Cards with "Archfiend" in their name or at least "デーモン" in their Japanese name are considered Archfiends (members). -- Deltaneos (talk) 09:58, December 2, 2009 (UTC)

Re: Advise on a new deck idea

- Yes, similar to Black Rose Dragon vs. Macro Cosmos. None of the cards will be sent to the graveyard if all are sent simultaneously.

- Future Fusion can act as a second Foolish Burial, and it will work well with D.D. Scout Plane, Overload Fusion, Jinzo - Returner, or it can instantly dump the cards for Chaos Sorc. If you're versing a good deck, it will most likely be destroyed before Chimeratech Overdragon gets summoned to nuke your field.

- The only thing I don't like are the Macro Cosmos. They conflict with quite a lot of other cards in your deck.

- P.S. You have 11 spells in that deck, not 9. Falzar FZ 09:12, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Re: A bit of fixing needed

It's a glitch with SMW that causes some pages to appear more than once in such automatically created lists. This page actually appears eight times when used in lists like that. I've reported it a few times, but there's not much we can do except hope the problem is fixed in the newest version of SMW, which I think we should be getting soon. -- Deltaneos (talk) 11:14, October 6, 2010 (UTC)
