But a rather more simple one: Do continous effects pass prioity when the monster is summoned? E.g. I special summon thousand eyes restrict, does it's continous effect stop me from activating it's ignition effect immedeatly?

Not quite true acutally, only monsters with "?" stats because of a one time effect stay at zero when Skill Drain is used. A card like gren maju des eiza will get back his ATK and DEF values when Skill Drain is removed since it constantly checks the number of cards you have removed from play.

However, if you're getting at a situation where your hand gets affected someway inbetween you activating the ritual and it resolving (Like Disturbance Strategy), then the answer is you may offer the tributes for Relinquished and summon it so long as one exists in you hand when the ritual...

It destroys itself by the same game mechanic that destroys other normal spells. Reflector doesn't stop cards from being destroyed by game mechanics.

Since I'm not a judge I have no such ability, could you send it in if you wouldn't mind? It'd really help me and my Megarock Dragon to have it safe from the likes of DDV. Also, Digital jedi, it's always been the case with the Japanese rulings that "?" is always unknown in the hand, as per the...

Having an idle tour of some rulings, I stumbled across this one for deck devastation virus: [/b] Yet, further along the line, I came across this: [/b]Yet both effects in question specify "Monsters with an ATK of 1500 or less". According to the Japanese rulings, "?" is unknown, and hence saved...

So for clarity, what exactly does happen when Chain Disappearance responds to multiple simultanoues summons of different monsters? E.g. If Magician of Faith, Sangan and Apprentice Magician were to be summoned to the field by Cyber Jar.

Let's say we have a machine equipped with heavy mech support platform. What would the outcome be if both were to be destroyed simultaneously by something like final destiny or levia-dragon - daedalus?

I'm going to be the one to advocate that Bottomless Trap Hole responds to monsters summoned in your opponent's card zones, since you can use your own Cyber Jar to make your opponent summon, and the BTH the relevant monsters.

Just like you can activate Torrential Tribute after turn player has used priority to use the effect of a monster he just summoned, you may activate Mirror Force in a chain to an effect activated at the start of the battle step.

Forced Requisition's effect is continous, such thatit's effect will take place inbetween card activations and resolutions if triggered. However, it cannot interrupt the middle of any effect, so it cannot make someone discard after you discard for Card Destruction but before you draw, therefore...

Actually, monsters equipped to other monsters ARE condisdered equip spell cards, it's just traps that remain as trap cards. Otherwise, you'd get this curious state of affairs where Heavy Storm wouldn't destroy monsters equipped to Relinquished, because they weren't spell or trap cards.

Remember your chain rules! Form chain: Tsukuyomi triggers first Trap Hole is chained Resolve: Trap Hole destroys Tsukuyomi tries to resolve, since its terget (itself) is no longer correct, the effect fizzles.

I'd actually only let my opponent count my sidedeck, since that always has to be 15 cards. I know that my deck size is supposedly common knowledge, but counting 15 cards is quicker than counting 40+.

A few questions regarding a sidedeck: Am I allowed to make sidedeck changes before a match begins? (e.g. I noticed this player is playing burn, so I side in my counters) When making sidedeck changes, what information am I obliged to give my opponent about the nature of my changes (number...
