Yes, that is correct. Summoning does not use the chain, so you can not chain to a normal/tribute/special summon from hand. And yes, Mobius is a trigger, and his trigger, not his summoning, is chain link 1, which one can then chain with BTH, etc.

It is true that in some cases, activating the card and activating the effect can be different. That does not change the known fact that all effects of trap cards are at least spell speed 2. Some effects, though, are ignition type effects, meaning that you can only use them in appropriate...

Pay half, then round life points up is how I remember it. And yes, Solemn, RFtDD, etc. are effectively free if you are on 1 life.

Huh? I think you've lost me here. In fact, I'm not quite sure I understand what you're saying. Please clarify.

The errata was: Dark Magician of Chaos When this card is Normal Summoned or Special Summoned, you can SELECT AND add 1 Spell Card from your Graveyard to your hand. A monster that is destroyed by this monster as a result of battle is removed from play instead of going to the Graveyard. If...

Mystic Swordsman says: If this card attacks a face-down Defense Position monster, destroy the monster immediately with this card's effect without flipping it face-up or applying damage calculation Sasuke Samurai says: If this monster attacks a face-down Defense Position monster, destroy the...

Not if it was Premature Burial that brought it back, in which case, that Solemn Judgment should've been used then, not after.

That "on your side of the field" is completely irrelevant, and thus that any card that says "tribute (whatever) on your side of the field" can be used with Soul Exchange.

1) Yes. Although the text says "on your side of the field" I believe that phrase can be ignored because under normal circumstances thats the only place you can tribute from. 2) Yep, tributed, not destroyed. 3) Given that you can tribute face-down for DDV, I don't see why you can't tribute...

No. The special summoning via Cyber Jar is within a monster effect. Solemn Judgment would have to interrupt the resolution of Cyber Jar's effect in order to negate the summon, which it can't do. If however Cyber Jar was flip summoned instead of flipped by an attack (or by some effect, eg...

Old-style toons - The ability to attack directly because your opponent doesn't control a toon is not related in anyway to the existence of Toon World on the field. so, yes.

Relinquished, and all other ritual monsters, and other special-summon-only monsters, must have been special summoned properly (in this case, via ritual summon) before they can reborn. So, for example, if Relinquished was discarded because of Card Destruction, then you cannot reborn it.

No. Skill Drain only applies to the field. Special summon effects on monsters can be thought of as 'in-hand' effects. Besides, if it were so, it'd be nuts-broken.

No, Exodia is a built-in win condition in the game. The game always* checks the game state to see if a win condition has been completed, and if so, immediately stops the game in favour of the winner. Divine Wrath cannot stop the game. * not 'always' always - not within effect resolution, for...

Unfortunately, wording is controlled by Konami, and as has been written in a fairly informative post by Kevin Tewart, they don't exactly have the same emphasis on wording and templating as those in English speaking countries.
