Oct 5, 2019 at 5:16 comment added Shinji-san You won't get any TCG official rulings. There are already OCG rulings and I recently asked OCG about this subject. I have the e-mails but I don't see a good reason to put them here, since there are database rulings and it should be on wiki.
Oct 4, 2019 at 9:49 comment added squid The critical distinction is that even though TMS is giving you, the player, the ability to do something, that ability is to do something "by the effect of" a card, rather than "as part of the inherent summoning procedure for" a card.

Oct 4, 2019 at 8:47 comment added evilReiko You know what, as you said some parts not explained/documented well by Konami rules, although game mechanics seems to work as you already explained. I'll select your answer as correct, but really looking forward for some official answer from Konami about Monarchs Stormforth vs Unaffected monsters
Oct 4, 2019 at 8:19 comment added evilReiko I truly respect your detailed explanation! From my understanding, Lava Golem (and other similar monsters) can be summoned because it's a cost (not an effect), that's why they're allowed. I almost selected your answer as correct, then your last paragraph (and specifically this line) changed my mind: ..It is not a card that is considered by the game state to be doing anything - it is you, the player.. Well, now I'm reading Monarchs Stormforth's text (and specifically this line): ..you can Tribute 1 monster your opponent controls.., it's exactly same as you said "it is you, the player"!
