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, ...

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.

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.
