A couple of comments. First, as posted here changing a monster's type with "DNA Surgery" will not save it from being destroyed by "Limiter Removal's" effect. This was a ruling posted on the former Yahoo judge site. Furthermore, the text of "Limiter Removal" states "...destroy all Monster Cards...

If you look at page 36 of the 5.0 rulebook, you'll find under "Pay a Cost", that you must actually pay the cost first before you actually activate the Spell card. We all keep thinking that when you activate the Spell card, you have to pay the cost and then the effect goes through. Costs are...

John, you are correct in saying that Yu-Gi-Oh! does not have a defined "Summon Response Chain" or "Attack Declaration Chain"; however, I am still not certain if these chains or windows of opportunity do indeed exist, albeit without a specific name. I'll refer you and other L3 judges to this...

Where is the judge list post that says 'A' is true? doc

As posted here, yes the turn player has priority to activate a spell speed 2 effect or higher at each Step of Battle Phase. This just means he gets to activate a spell speed 2 effect or higher first. The opponent still gets a chance to respond. doc

Yes, All 3 of those chains are legal during Battle Step! You don't even have to negate the cards to start additional chains. Let say "Matazza the Zapper" attacks your attack position "Spirit Reaper". You negate "Matazza's" first attack with "Magic Cylinder". P1 does not negate "Magic...

Tiso, please read Kyhotae's last reply. You are slightly confused about "Steps" or subphases of a Phase. Please consult Pages 25-26 of the 5.0 Rulebook. BattlePhase consists of 4 subphases or Steps in this sequence: 1. Start Step - player declares he/she is entering Battle Phase. 2. Battle...

John, I don't know if you got to talk to Chris much but since he was Head of Deck checks, he ran into all kinds of problems with marking of cards. First, all duelists should familiarize themselves with item 12, paragraph 2 in UDE tournament policy. Where it says "players will not apply...

Ahhh, but "Dark Necrofear" did finally have it's text revised. It now only returns when it is destroyed as a monster. I believe Cropz has posted how they rule in the OCG, which means given time, we'll have the same ruling and/or errata. doc

Agreed but add that CotH may remain on the Field if it is detached from its targeted monster when the monster is flipped face-down or negated at the time by cards such as "Jinzo" or "Royal Decree". Lots of duelists don't think a useless "Call of the Haunted" left on the Field has any...

The most common form of stacking is repeated shuffling and cutting until you see what seems to be a valuable card left on the bottom of the deck. Shuffling or Deck randomization should be done w/o seeing the bottom card, but there are always cheaters. I used to play an Exodia deck with...
