That's what makes the ruling on Kiryu unfortunate: This ruling says Mask of Restrict prevents all Tributing. That's room for dispute right there for anyone aware of this ruling. I'm pretty sure they meant to say "prevents all Tributing of Monsters, including Monsters treated as Equip Spell...

[Emily Litella]Oh, that's quite different. Never mind.[/Emily Litella] <lol> I think your original stance is the right one given the current understanding of how the game works. Not to say that it couldn't change . . .

You keep this up and UDE will be hiring you to answer questions on the Judge's List. Ok. But going back to the message I was responding to, you said: I will use another Judge's List ruling to dispute this claim:[/font][/size][/color] http://lists.upperdeck.com/read/messages?id=8057#8057 It is...

Sorry to be late jumping in on this, but I had jury duty today and just got around to catching up on this thread. There is one particular point I want to address (I hope I did not edit out too much): This contradicts a "definition" of successfully summoned given on the Judge's List by Curtis...

Okay, woo, it looks like you've been home for a while now and it looks like you are not going to say anything, so I will. No one needs to worry about posting the questions raised here to the Level 3 Judge's List because masterwoo0 will be able to do that himself just as soon as UDE gets him...

This is interesting because the YuGiOh! Online game does not allow you to Special Summon face-down in this situation either. Maybe it's not a glitch? Maybe we need a separate thread on Konami Game "Rulings" vs IRL Rulings. :)

DISCLAIMER: I KNOW NOT TO USE GAMES FOR RULINGS This change to Last Will is very interesting. The new wording (and presumably the way the effect will now work) is exactly the way it works in YuGiOh Online. Being able to use Last Will before or after a monster goes to the Graveyard makes it a...

Disclaimer: I KNOW NOT TO USE GAMES FOR RULINGS Ok, now that that is out of the way, I find it very interesting that YuGiOh Online does indeed allow Michizure to be activated during the Damage Step when a monster is destroyed in battle. Programming glitch or the way Konami thinks the card...

Well, I would have thought it was Trigger, but it looks like it is Continuous: http://lists.upperdeck.com/read/messages?id=6698#6698 "Jetroid's" effect allows the controlling player to activate Trap Cards from their hand when their face-up "Jetroid" is declared the target of an attack...

Is he catching the coin in his hand on the flip or letting it hit the table? FWIW, I require players to let the coin hit the table because that reduces the chance to manipulate the toss.

College Park is inside the Beltway. That makes it "in the DC area." The difference between getting to downtown DC and getting to College Park from the south is maybe another 1/2 hour depending on the traffic.

Simon, thanks for the offer, but the PTO has decided she can not afford to pay travel costs for judges. She is willing to pay lodging, but that is it.

I'm sorry to hear that, John. I pushed hard for Laurel to bring you in, but she just felt that she could not afford it. I know she gave it a lot of thought and made the decision she thought was best for her and the store. Maybe next time . . .

It appears to be wrong. That is for sure. But, it could simply be worded wrong (like that's never happened before) and the main intent could well be correct. How about this: "You can target your Limited monster with "Next to be Lost", but you don't search or shuffle your Deck...

For now, anyway. Who is to say that can not change? Just look at Bottomless Trap Hole. It could be that we've been playing the game wrong all along.

That is one way of looking at it. Here is another: Mystical Space Typhoon is a piece of cardboard in your hand. It does not know anything about activation requirements, but you do. You know that you can not activate Mystical Space Typhoon unless there is at least one Spell or Trap card on the...

Why can't it? You should know what cards are in your deck when you begin. You know what is on the field, in your hand, and in your graveyard, so you know what is left in the deck. There is precedent for prohibiting the activation of an effect that will not do anything, so why not prohibit...

I am not sure if this ruling for Next to be Lost has any bearing on this discussion, but it seems to me that it might. "You can target a Limited monster with "Next to be Lost", but you don't search or shuffle your Deck. Essentially, there is no effect." Seems to me this is saying that if you...

Sorry for the confusion. I haven't talked to her in a few days, so I don't know if she got it or not. I will see Laurel Saturday at the Sneak Peek and put in the good word again.

Man, what a bummer. Are you still going to play in the March Regional or judge?
