The stack in Magic is, well, a stack. Spells you cast, abilities you activate, and abilities that trigger based on some game action or change in state, go on the stack. The system used to determine who gets an opportunity to put something on the stack is known as priority in the formal rules. When one player passes priority, the other gets a chance to put ...

Great question! Unfortunately, I don't have a complete answer. According to the Yu-Gi-Oh! Wikia: Some cards have been released in the TCG with shortened or abbreviated names. A major reason for this was that the names were too long unabbreviated, and Upper Deck Entertainment had not yet figured out the smaller card name font for long names, but ...

Okay, I think I've worked out what's going on here. The link to Original Slifer that you kindly provided for me shows the original, illegal version of the card. There is a second link, from that page, to the legal Slifer version. You will see that the second Slifer does not have any ruling declaring the card to be of Dragon Type. Why does the illegal ...

This rulings page for Lightpulsar Dragon says: If "Lightpulsar Dragon" and "Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon" are destroyed on the field simultaneously by the effect of "Dark Hole", that "Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon" can be Special Summoned from the Graveyard by the effect of "Lightpulsar Dragon".[6] And that is allegedly a ruling from an ...

I'd advise against basing your system on oversimplified YGO rules. These phases that seem arbitrary were added precisely to avoid adding many exceptions and forcing players to remember them all. Having regular rules with such a gigantic deck is much better than writing exceptions on card and then have lots of pain trying to match them together. BTW, ...

Based on this ruling on Disappear: When a card that selects a card in the Graveyard as a target, such as "Monster Reborn", "Mask of Darkness", "Magician of Faith", "Spear Cretin", or "The Shallow Grave", is activated, you may chain "Disappear" to remove the targeted card from play, and the "Monster Reborn", etc., will resolve without effect. This is ...

You will not be able to get the Interplanetarypurplythorny Dragon from the effect of Witch of the Black Forest's and activate its effect. This is because the last thing to happen isn't a monster being destroyed but rather a monster being added to hand. If you already had Interplanetarypurplythorny Dragon in your hand and Witch of the Black Forest is being ...

Regardless of thesunneversets observations that a legal version of the card doesn't contain the Original versions "treat this as a Dragon-Type Monster", that shouldn't matter in this situation. The rule book splits Effect Monsters into five categories, one of which is Continuous Effect: This effect is active while the Effect Monster Card is face-up on ...

These rulings come from yugioh.wikia.com, and note: These TCG rulings were issued by Upper Deck Entertainment and have since been deemed unofficial by Konami.[18] They were previously considered official and can still be correct, as long as they follow the official gameplay rules, or unless Konami has issued a ruling that says otherwise. References: ...

It doesn't work that way, due to the fact that Lightpulsar is being tributed his effect does not go off, and the same for Heliopolis. Lightpulsar must be "destroyed" or "sent" as the final resolution to an effect. When Dark Hole kills them both the last activation is Lightpulsar which is why he can summon D-Metal but in the instance listed above Lightpulsar ...

according to the website: http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Card_Tips:Interplanetarypurplythorny_Dragon Yes... Then if you look at it from another side: The dragon can be summoned from your hand, but the witch's special ability says that you have to get a card from your deck and put it into your hand. Then it's 50:50.

The Stack in Magic the Gathering is named as such, because it matches the abstract concept of a Stack. A stack is a collection of objects, the top object can be popped off (to interact with), or a new object can be pushed onto the top of the stack. A simple real life example of a stack would be a stack of dirty dishes. The top dirty dish can be popped of ...

Now my solution to this is to add special exceptions to cards like Call of the Haunted, so that they or the monster they summon cannot be targeted by magic cards within the same turn as their activation. Would that fix the problem of trap card balance? Are there any problems with my proposed system? This is probably overpowered, it would bring many new ...
