    side deck

    http://www.cogonline.net/threads.6220 That really depends a great deal on your deck and your meta. Are you aiming more to support your deck or attack your opponent's?

    Silly technicality?

    Bifurcation, right. I don't know what I was thinking. I read it too fast. @_@ Well I committed a bit of a fallacy there myself. I mis-stated my case. Things should always make sense, even in YGO. But what I was pointing out (or trying to) is Maruno's fallacy that monsters in the destruction...

    Silly technicality?

    Fallacy Non-Sequitur. This is YGO we're talking about. Just because something doesn't make any sense doesn't mean it's wrong. =/ Apprentice Magician's effect resolves in a limbo state that is neither the Graveyard nor the Field. This is similar to how Solemn Judgment destroys monsters when they...

    I'm Officially Confused

    Fallacy Straw Man. (Linked to a non-atheist website this time =/) I never stated that if it isn't official we should use our best judgment. I said we should always go with what is official first and foremost, then if we can't find a definite answer from official text, we should defer to the...

    I'm Officially Confused

    >_> <_< How long have you known me? A head judge is obligated to make the most intelligent decision he can. (I'm using the word "he" just because "(s)he" hurts my eyes). What qualifies as an intelligent decision? That's what we're debating here. *Inevitably Well, yes. But that's sort of...

    I'm Officially Confused

    But this statement falls under what I mentioned about "If it is wholly impossible to narrow a situation down to one possible outcome using extrapolation...". However, I have seen instances in which there is one clearly defined answer in a situation and the Judge List has ruled contrary to that...

    I'm Officially Confused

    Nobody here is spinning anything into semantics. The Judge List is not an official source for rulings under any circumstances. We should, at all times, make our best effort to extrapolate from card text and posted rulings to determine the outcome in any situation. If it is wholly impossible to...

    YGO Card Name Game

    United Resistance 3 / 4 of a mixed rose, that is to say, of the four-part Revolution combo, although United Resistance is itself only one part, the name is general enough that it could apply to the three "People" parts. A revolution is something that can be given many names depending on...

    I'm Officially Confused

    What you're claiming here is that opinion of UDE > Fact from game-makers.

    Archfiend's Roar and Cyber Archfiend

    The use of the word "checks" implies an event before the draw. Wouldn't it be more correct to say that Cyber Archfiend just knows?:-:

    I'm Officially Confused

    The Judge List (thanks Skey) cannot under any circumstances over-ride the card text or rulings. For that matter, you could go back to the Mind Crush thread.

    I'm Officially Confused

    I'd like to point out tha the discrepency between card text and posted rulings is theoretically non-existent. If the UDE errata page were done properly, all cards would do exactly what they say, and official posted rulings wouldn't be necessary. With that said, like Anthony pointed out, we just...

    Victory Dragon & Player Etiquette

    I fear I may have been misunderstood. When I said the effect of Victory Dragon is unfair, I did not mean that it was broken in any way. In fact, I feel Victory Dragon is weak bordering on just plain junk. What I meant is that it violates a necessary mechanic of the game. The...

    Victory Dragon & Player Etiquette

    In my humble opinion, that's totally irrelevant. You could argue all day long that this card "isn't overpowered" and "won't imbalance the game" because it is so hard to pull off. But to me that is avoiding the point that the card contradicts one of the most critical game mechanics: That NO...

    I'm Officially Confused

    But we're only supposed to go by it as long as we don't have REAL Official information from which to extrapolate, correct?
