I have read all the articles and I still believe the opponent should have the right to respond to a summon before the turn player can activate Spell Speed 2 or 3 effects. I can understand, sort of, the activation of a summoned monster's effect. I can not understand the activation of another...

Thanks for replying, even though I am no closer to understanding anything. However, I must take exception with your statement that this is what "we've been told as judges." I'm only a lowly Level 1 and I don't have access to the powers that be and, as I have often said, I have never seen/read...

John, I am sure I am starting to annoy some folks with this, but I would really appreciate seeing you address the issue of using turn player priority to activate Spell Speed 2 and 3 effects following a summon. (Well, I would really like to see Kevin address it, but you're here and he's not.) I...

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, the question of using Priority to activate Spell Speed 2 and 3 effects following a summon has not been officially answered.

I would rule no, but that's just me. Given the way most responses are presented on the Judge List, I don't think the fact that this restriction was not included means it does not exist. I sent in a question regarding the issue of first response to a summon quite a while back, but have not...

Shucks, I thought my powers of persausion were wearing you down. :rolleyes:

I don't think they should, but at least I can kind of understand it. Spell/Trap cards are activated by placing them face-up on the field. Summoning a Monster is placing it face-up on the field. The turn player is given the option of activating the Monster's effect when it is summoned. Now...

I would still like to see the source for stating the turn player does not lose priority following a summon. The way I see it, the turn player has the option of activating a Monster Effect following a summon, but otherwise the opponent gets first shot at responding. I have not seen anything...

I agree, but that may not be clear to everyone. This is where we disagree. If this were correct, you would be able to activate Spell Speed 1 effects from your hand following a summon. We know from the Judge's List that you can not do that http://lists.upperdeck.com/read/messages?id=2627#2627)...

What is your source for this statement? It seems logical to me that priority in a "response" chain should go to the person "responding" to something. Priority in responding to a summon should not go to the person making the summon, but to that person's opponent. How can it be otherwise? This has...

Then why don't you have the priority to activate a Spell Speed 1 effect from your hand? You had it before the summon, didn't you?

It says you have the right to activate Pineapple Blast as step 1 in the chain. It does not say you have the right to do this because you have the right to activate any Spell Speed 2 or 3 effect as step 1 in the chain. I think that is too big a leap. I am really not trying to be confrontational...

I have made exactly this same argument and I do not believe the Pinapple Blast ruling can or should be extrapolated the way it is being done here. It just seem ridiculous to me to say the turn player has priority to respond to his/her own action. The other player should always have first option...

The question is, is the timing correct for you to activate one following your summon of a monster (not that I can think of any that would be correct, but if there were) before your opponent can respond to the summon. And I will say again that I have seen nothing official that says you can do...

I understand your question and why you are asking it, but I think the head judge was correct. Your opponent could not activate Enemy Controller in chain to Snatch Steal because the Soldier was not yet on your side of the field. Your question is, I believe, why did you not have priority to...

I'm not going to flame anyone over this, but I will say once again that I disagree with the current thinking. The only thing(s) we *know* can be activated by the turn player using their priority following a summon are monster effects that are face-up on the field, from either the just-summoned...

I hate to continue beating a supposedly dead horse, but I have never seen anything official from UDE saying the turn player can use priority to activate anything other than a face-up effect from the field following a summons. I understand that the accepted wisdom now says the turn player can use...

There is only ONE sentence on Seven Tools of the Bandit. "Pay 1000 of your Life Points to negate the activation of a Trap Card and destroy it." "When your opponent activates a card that has the effect that destroys 1 or more monsters on the field, pay 1500 Life Points to negate the...

It does take some getting used to, but it is starting to sink in a bit I guess.

". . . pay 1500 Life Points to negate the activation of the card and destroy it." How can this be anything but a cost to activate My Body as a Shield? I can not find anything that would lead anyone to believe otherwise.
