Yes, when "Breaker" is summoned, his Mandatory Triggered Effect automatically activates, starting a chain. Then, your opponent can respond to this with cards like "Torrential Tribute", "Trap Hole" or "Bottomless Trap Hole". Resolve the chain backwards and "Breaker" is destroyed before he ever...

That is true, if you notice which effect it is referring to. It's referring to the ATK/DEF increase that "Slate Warrior" gets after being flipped. It is not referring to the last part of his effect that reduces the ATK of the monster that destroyed it by battle, which is what this thread is...

Check out Sub Step 6 of the Damage Step Chart. You'll find that several effects have the same timing during that step. http://www.cogonline.net/threads.6503 Enjoy!

If you legally activated "Dark Mirror Force", then you could certainly chain "Zero Gravity" to it.

Entropy is correct. "Slate Warrior" works identically to "Apprentice Magician".

And no, we are talking about any/all form of destruction, not just by Battle.

Here is the reasoning behind the ruling. As soon as "Jinzo" is deemed destroyed, his continuous effect is immediately 'deactivated'. At that exact same moment in time, the continuous effect of "Call of the Haunted" is 'reactivated'. It sees that "Jinzo", it's target has been destroyed, so it...

I have not heard that either. To my knowledge, if the monster is destroyed or removed from the field while "Call of the Haunted" is being negated, and then later, if the effect that was negating "Call of the Haunted" is removed, then "Call of the Haunted" will remain meaninglessly on the field...

1. You would not be able to crystallize your monster in this case. "Torrential Tribute" is still on the field when you have to make that decision. 2. This would have the same result as #1.

The monster basically comes into play with that 'bubble' on it. The monster is brought to the field via the effect of "VCZ". As part of the resolution of "VCZ", it places that 'bubble' on that monster. Then, after "VCZ" has resolved, "Skill Drain" sees there is a face-up Effect Monster and...

Did you get sealed boxes or loose packs? If they were loose packs (as I suspect they were), then they were left over Sneak Peak packs and you will never pull a secret from those. I've opened 2 sealed boxes and pulled one secret. I've traded for a few others.

Actually, "Skill Drain" will not be able to negate the effects of a "Vehicroid" monster brought out by the effect of "Vehicroid Connection Zone". It doesn't matter what order things are activated in. The monster is protected by the effect of "VCZ", which "Skill Drain" can do nothing about. I...

The effect is triggered in the middle of the chain. It does not activate until the chain is finished resolving. "Premature Burial" doesn't get destroyed until the monster leaves the field. Since the Crystal Beast is still on the field when you make the decision on where to send it, you would...

The ruling under "Levia Dragon" was changed to match that of "Demise"...

I thought I'd just let everybody know that rulings have been clarified for A-Counters. The A-Counters themselves have no effect....period. The only time they will cause the monster to lose ATK when battling an "Alien" monster is if that monster specifically says so, or another effect gives...

I'm sorry Zarem, but you are not correct. The correct answer has already been given. Please take the time and read over the Battle Phase and Damage Steps here: http://www.cogonline.net/threads.6503 You'll see where your misunderstanding is. Thanks.

You are just now figuring this out? This ruling has been out since before the Sneak Peak. Yes, this is a BKSS ruling.

And I'm going to disagree with this statement. You can force the activation of a Continuous Trap Card while "Jinzo" is active with "Bait Doll" and it will remain on the field meaninglessly until "Jinzo" is removed. Why would this not be the same?

Rulings folks...rulings.... Since the Field Spell Card is already active by the time "Horus LV8" can do anything, it's too late for him to be able to negate any of it's effects. And

Yes, there is. You declare your attack. Pass priority to respond to your attack. If your opponent passes back without activating anything, then you activate your "Rising Energy". Your opponent cannot activate cards like "Sakuretsu Armor" or "Mirror Force" because the window for those cards has...
