Hi everyone! I want to make sure on something before I start using it. Will multiple Card Traders stack?
Good luck getting 4 Card Traders on the field there.novastar said:He means "stack" as in, will they add up together, for example, activating 4 will mean that the effect will apply 4 times like... 1+1+1+1 = 4.
skey23 said:Well, define 'stack'? They will not form a chain of any kind. You can choose to activate 1 or none of them during the Standby Phase. If you choose to use more than one, then you simply activate and resolve their effects at separate times during the Standby Phase.
Sure you can use the effect of 2 Heart of the Underdogs. SEGOC. Both of their effects trigger at the same time, so you chain them.Absird said:I think he means can he activate 2 Card Traders, since you can't activate and resolve 2 Heart of the Underdogs
I refer you to the first ruling under Heart of the Underdog.Missing the Timing: Suppose you have 3 copies of "Heart of the Underdog" on the field, and draw a Normal Monster Card during your Draw Phase. All 3 copies of "Heart of the Underdog" immediately activate their effects, and because they activate simultaneously, they form a chain with Chain Links 1, 2, and 3. If you draw a Normal Monster card for Chain Link 3 or Chain Link 2, your copies of "Heart of the Underdog" do not activate again. This is because they are "when... you can" optional Trigger Effects, and you "miss the timing" because you drew the Normal Monster Card during a chain and not as Chain Link 1. However, if you draw a Normal Monster Card for Chain Link 1, all 3 copies of "Heart of the Underdog" will activate their effects again.
Digital Jedi said:Generally speaking, when people use the word "stack" in Yu-Gi-Oh!, their referring to when two identical card or card effects are applying "on top of" each other. Unlike some effects, that only try to do the same thing twice. Like two Cross Counters will not stack effects because they're both doing the same thing.
In the three years I've been playing this game, I've only heard one person refer to the chain as a stack, and that was a Magic: The Gathering player who was just learning this one. More often then not, when a Yugi player asks "do two of these stack" their asking if they will get the benefits of both cards, and not referring to the Magic: The Gathering mechanic.
Me too, and I've never played Magic. "Trample" sounds better, and it was already a well-known phrase even outside the game by the time Yu-Gi-Oh! wanted a similar phrase.LordLight2 said:What can I say? I was a Magic player many years ago. I still think of "Piercing Damage" as "Trample".
